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:
Transparent
tape
makes
straight
lines
easy
to
sew.
Just
sew
with
the
presser
foot
guiding
along
the
edge
of
the
tape.
When
sewing
is
completed
peel
off
tape.
