Pin tuck stitching with blind stitch presser foot

The Pin tuck stitch uses a rolled edge to add shape and decoration to any sewing project. Fold the fabric on a line where the pin tuck is to be located and guide the fold through the serger. Contrasting thread in the upper looper adds an accent to your project.

Use the blind stitch presser foot to make narrow overlock stitches to produce seams in the form of tucks at equal distances from each other.

For thin fabrics, it’s a good idea to choose a fine thread which will run smoothly.

aReplace the presser foot with a blind stitch presser foot (multi purpose presser foot). (Refer to page

47.)

bSet up the machine for narrow overlock stitching. (Refer to pages 42–45.)

cDraw equally spaced lines on the fabric with a fabric pencil as guides for pin tuck placement.

Fold the fabric along one of the lines and press in place lightly with an iron.

dTurn the handwheel counterclockwise to set the

needle at its highest position.

eLift the presser foot lever and insert the fabric with the folded edge in such a way that the needle

pierces just the folded edge.

fLower the presser foot lever, adjust the fabric

guide toward the folded edge.

gAlign the blind stitch presser foot guide with the line on the right side of the stitch finger.

By turning the screw forward (toward you) the

stitch guide will go to the right. By turning the screw backward (away from you) the stitch guide will go to the left.

hAlign the fold with the guide and insert the fabric up to the needle position.

iGuide the fold in the fabric to sew half way

between the needle and the upper knife.

jContinue sewing until all marked lines have been

sewn.

Correct minor contractions by hand.

Costuras de pliegues pe- queños con prensatelas multipropósito

Las puntadas de pliegues pequeños usan un borde enrollado para agregar cierta forma y decoración a cualquier obra de costura.

(véase página 47).

bAjuste la máquina en la puntada overlock estre- cha (véase páginas 42-46).

cCon un lápiz especial de costura, dibuje líneas en el tejido a igual distancia las unas de las otras para que sirvan de guías en la ubicación de los

pliegues. Doble el tejido a lo largo de una línea y plánchelo un poco.

dGire la ruedecilla en el sentido contrario al de las

manecillas de un reloj y ponga la aguja en su posición más alta.

eLevante la palanca del prensatelas e inserte el tejido con el borde doblado a la izquierda para que la aguja pique justo en el borde doblado al

coser.

fBaje la palanca del prensatelas y ajuste la guía de tejido hacia el borde doblado.

gAlinee la guía del prensatelas para puntadas invisibles en la línea a la derecha de la uñeta de puntadas.

Al girar el tornillo hacia delante (hacia usted), la guía de tejido se desplazará hacia la derecha y al girarlo hacia atrás (alejándose de usted), la guía

de tejido se desplazará a la izquierda.

hAlinee el doblado con la guía e inserte el tejido hasta la posición de la aguja.

iGuie el doblado del tejido para coser a medio

camino entre la aguja y la cuchilla superior.

das hayan sido cosidas.
