Tucking (cont')

Draw a single thread from the fabric, or measure from the selvage to locate the first tuck on the straight of the fabric grain.

For succeeding tucks, crease fabric or draw a thread at distance desired from previous tuck.

Press tuck folds before stitching.

To make "pin" tucks, insert the tuck fold in slot 1 and adjust lug A to locate stitching a pin width from the fold.

To make 1/4" tucks, insert the tuck fold into slot 5, and move lug A to its extreme left position.

Use a short stitch length and perfectly balanced tensions.

THE QUILTER

The Quilter, designed with a short, open foot and an adjustable and removable space guide, is especially well adapted to stitching lightly padded materials. The light padding is based to the underside of the fabric and may be of outing flannel, canton flannel, sheet wadding or light wool interlining.

Replace the presser foot with the Quilter. Adjust the space guide for the width between stitching lines. The space guide may be used to the right or left of the needle.
