PIN TUCKS

Narrow

tucks,

sewn

with

thread

that

matches

the

fabric,

produce

subtle

decoration

on

plain

fabrics.

Using

the

twin

needle,

sew

straight

lines

on

the

fabric

guiding

the

edge

of

the

presser

foot

along

each

successive

tuck

to

make

parallel

rows.

Soft

fabrics

will

be

pulled

to

form

a

soft

crease.

To

achieve

a

tuck

on

a

fabric,

increase

the

lower

tension

slightly.

Heavier

fabrics

will

produce

two

lines

of

straight

stitching.

Attractive

pin

tucks

are

made

with

the

multiple stitch zigzag as well as with a straight stitch.

Note: Trans/jdrent tape makes straight lines easy to sew.

Just sew with the presser foot guiding along the

edge of the tape. When sewing is completed pee!
off tape.
