Where to Insert the Material to be Tucked
Fold and crease the first, tuck for its entire length
by hand; insert it in the Tucker from the left, placing
FIG. 57. PROPER POSITION OF MATERIAL IN TUCK.ER
it between the grooved blade and the spur blade of
the space scale, and between the two blades of the
tuck scale. See Fig, 57.
Care should be taken to see that the material is
placed far enough in the Tucker to feed against the
tuck guide Draw the material toward you until
the edge is directly under the needle. Lower the
presser bar and sew. You will note that the Tucker is
milking a mark for the next tuck.
When the first tuck is finished, fold tbe material
on the mark made by the spur during the sewing of
the first tuck and insert the folded edge in the
Tucker. It is most important to see that the first
tuck is against the inside of the spur. After lower-
ing the presser bar, raise the material slightly and
adjust it until the folded edge is just touching the
guide and the preceding tuck is against the spur.
This insures even tucks.
