Accessories and needles
Pintuck foot
This classic heirloom sewing technique can
be easily applied to many types of fabric such
as cotton and lightlinens. Undergarments,
children’s clothes and home decorating
projects are given a nostalgic touch by
pintucking.
Attach the pintuck foot.
Replace the sewing needle with a twin
needle (e.g. 130/705 H-ZWI; 1.6 or 2.0 mm
needle spacing; size 80).
Thread the two needles (see page 11).
Increase the bobbin thread tension by
turning the adjusting screw of the bobbin
case slightly to the right (see chapter on
“Bobbin thread tension”). This will help to
form well-defi ned pintucks.
Sew your fi rst pintuck. When you start on
the second pintuck, allow the fi rst pintuck to
run parallel in a groove in the foot. This will
produce evenly spaced pintucks.
Tip: If you would like to emphasize the pintuck
effect, you can attach a cording tongue
(optional accessory) on the front edge of the
needle plate. The cording tongue pre-shapes
the fabric during sewing and produces a more-
defi ned pintuck.
For thin materials use the pintuck foot with
7 grooves and the small cording tongue, for
heavier materials use the pintuck foot with 5
grooves and the large cording tongue.
Inserting a gimp thread creates a similar optical
effect by making the pintuck appear even more
raised.
A cording tongue is not used when inserting a
gimp thread in your pintucks.
Remove the needle plate.
Thread the gimp thread from below through
the hole at the center front of the needle
plate.
Replace the needle plate. The notch
between the needle plate and the sewing
machine provides space for the gimp thread
while sewing. Feed the gimp thread under
the work support so that it does not become
knotted during sewing.
Gently pull the fabric taut while sewing the
pintucks.
