20. Two or three-thread pin tucking
Pin tucking is a useful decoration when sewing blouses and children’s clothes. Pin tucking is accomplished
before cutting out garment.
• Use ordinary overedge throat plate or rolled hemming throat plate.
• Remove left needle.
• Before sewing on your garment, always make a test stitch on a sample of your fabric so that you can
adjust the thread tensions correctly for standard 1 needle, 3 thread overedge stitching, or 1 needle 2
thread wrapped edge overlock stitching.
• Place movable knife in non-operating position, (see page 21)
• Fold fabric in half with the wrong side facing up.
• Place fabric under the foot with the fold resting against the wall of edge guide.
• Adjust edge guide so that the stitches will just overcast the edge of the fold as shown in the sketch.
• Lower the foot and sew. When stitching is completed, press pin tuck to lay flat on one side.
21. Applying elastic

Divide elastic and area where elastic will be
inserted into quarters and mark with a
water-soluable marker.
Lay elastic on wrong side of fabric making
sure edges are even.
Line up with edge of throat plate.
After securing with 2-3 stitches, continue
sewing, allowing fabric to feed through
machine while gently stretching elastic (a
quarter at a time) with right hand. Use free
hand to keep fabric even with edge of throat
plate.
