Pintucks
This technique reduces the size of the fabric which means that always enough fabric should be calculated.
Pintucks are narrow stitched folds which are normally sewn on the fabric before cutting out the pieces for
garments or other sewing projects. They are suitable for embellishing or in combination with other heirloom
embroidery techniques.
A more distinctive and relief-like effect can be achieved when the pintucks are corded, which means that
they are sewn with an additional pintuck cord. Chose a pintuck cord that fits well into the grooves of the
selected pintuck foot. The cord must be colorfast and shrinkproof.
