Tucking with the Edge-Stitcher
Dainty narrow tucking may be produced on the
edge-stitcher by inserting creased folds in slot 1 as
FIG. 55. TUCKING WITH THE EDGE-STITCHER
shown in Fig. 55, and adjusting the edge-stitcher to
right or left for the desired width of tuck, up to
inch. Successive tucks may be easily creased by
folding the material at the desired distance from
the previous tuck, and then running the length of
the fold over a straight edge such as the edge of the
sewing machine cabinet. The secret of good tucking
lies in a light tension, short stitch, and fine thread
and needle.
