SINGER W510 - Manual (Page 48)

Narrow tucks, sewn with thread that
matches the fabric, produce subtle decora­
tion 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. (Fig. 136)
N/nt: Transparent tape makes straight
tines easy to sew. Just sew with
the presser foot guiding along the
edge of the tape. When sewing is
completed pee! off tape. (Fig.
136)
