THE PRACTICAL USE OF THE TUCKER.

Tucking is the natural trimming for fine materials, such as lawn, organdie,

batiste, etc., and, when using the Singer Tucker, may be made in any width,

without basting, from a fine pin tuck to one inch wide. The Tucker gauges
the width of the tuck and, while one tuck is being stitched, it marks the

material for the next tuck to be made.

Tucks are made so easily in this way that it is a joy to make garments

with

this

fascinating

trimming.

Then,

too,

such

trimmings

may

be

made

without

extra

cost.

The

fashion

magazines

give

numerous

suggestions

for

tucking

various

garments.

The

following

pages

will

explain

the

adjusting

and operating of this time-saving attachment.
