TUCKER
Remove the presser foot and attach the tuck-
er in its place. The width of the tuck is deter-
mined by the scale of figures nearest the
needle, which shows in eighths and six-
teenths of an inch the distance of the edge of
the fold from the line of stitching.
The crease or mark for the second and fol-
lowing tucks is determined by the scale near-
est the operator and this is set by the line in
front of the needle hole in the presser foot.
For blind tucks without spaces set both
scales at the same figure; to make spaces
between the tucks move the front scale far-
ther to the left until the desired space is
obtained.
Having adjusted the scales for tuck and
space as desired, fold the material and
crease by hand; pass the folded edge
between the spring and spur near you, then
between the two blades of the second scale,
and back under the presser foot; draw to the
right against the guide, lower the presser bar;
see that the lever for the needle clamp to
strike is in its backward position so as to form
a crease for the next tuck, then proceed with
the first tuck.
For the second tuck fold carefully at the
crease made by the spur and place the edge
of the first tuck underneath and against the
spur at the left. The spur will serve as a guide
and will also make a distinct crease for the
next tuck. Always place the last tuck against
the spur to ensure perfect work.
When making the last tuck the lever upon
which the needle clamp strikes while tucking
should he raised to its highest point; while the
lever is in this position no crease for a suc-
ceeding tuck is made upon the goods.
