Stitching Pintucks

•

this technique reduces the size of the fabric area

(allow for enough fabric)

• pintucks are narrow stitched folds which are

normally sewn on the fabric before cutting out

the pieces for garments or other sewing projects

• for embellishing, or in combination with other

heirloom embroidery techniques

No. 30 (3 grooves) = 4mm double needle:

for heavyweight fabrics

for medium- to heavyweight fabrics

• No. 32 (7 grooves) = 2mm double needle:

for light- to mediumweight fabrics

No. 33 (9 grooves) = 1 or 1.6mm double needle:

Corded Pintucks

• pintucks may be sewn with or without cord

• cord pintucks for a raised effect and texture

•

choose a cord that fits well into the grooves

of the selected pintuck foot

• the cord must be colorfast and shrinkproof

Note:

Sewing pintucks on

fabric causes fabric

width to reduce.

Allow extra fabric

for this technique.
