The
classic
pintuck
sewing
techniciue
can
be
used
without
any
problems
on
fabrics
such
as
cotton
and
light
woolens.
Underclothing
and
children’s
wear
can
be
given
a
tradrional
look
with
ointucks.

.6
or

mm).
•
Thread
with
two
needle
threads
(see
page

•
Now
set
the
needle

tension
quite
tight
(at
about
5) to
make
the
soarn
more
prominent.
TIP:
If
you
wish
to
emphasize
the
pintuck
effect,
you
can
fit
a
‘cording
blade”
on
the
front
edge
01
the
needle
plate.
This
shapes
the
fabric,
during
sewing
and
gives
the
pintuck
nor
e
volume.
You
can
obtain
a
similar
effect
by
using
a pimp
thread;
this
makes
the
pintuck
look
wirier
In
this
case,
however,
do
riot
use
a
cording
blade.
•
To
do
this,
remove
the
needle
plate
•
Thread
the
gimp
thread
through
the
role
of
the
noodle
plate
from
the
underside.
•
Replace
the
needle
plate.
Tire
notch
between
the
needle
plate
and
the
Sewing
machine
provides
space
for
the
gimp
thread.
TIns
thread
rirust
be
fed
under
the
needle
plate,
so
that
it
does
riot
become
tangled
during
sewinq
•
While
sewing
the
pintuck,
pull
the
fabric
lightly.
•
You
can
use
the
grooves
in
the
pintucl
foot
to
guide
the
work
along
an
already
sewn
pintrick.
This
ensures
that
the
distance
between
pintucks
is
always
constant.
TIP:
There
are
two
different
prituck
feet:
a
five-
