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.
