PLEATS vs TUCKS
Fabric:
Medium weight cotton, 8” x 5”
Needle:
80/12 Universal
Thread:
All-Purpose
Presser Foot:
Reverse Pattern #1
Edgestitch #10 (optional accessory)
Reverse Pattern Foot #1:
• Starting at the left edge and working across the 8” width, draw 4 lines for folding and
pressing. The first 2 lines are 2” apart, second 2 lines are 1¼” apart.
Note: By placing the fold even with the right edge of the foot and placing the needle
position all the way to the left to start, it is possible to get 9 different sizes pleats/tucks.
• Using Straight Stitch #1, sew the first tuck, on the first line, with needle position all the way
to the left.
• Second tuck, on second line, with needle position all the way to the right.
- Each position makes about a 1mm difference.
Edgestitch Foot #10:
• Place the fold of the third pleat to the left of the center blade - right next to it.
• Move the needle position all the way to the left and sew.
• Position the fold of the last pleat in the same manner. Move the needle position to half left
and sew.
- Very small tucks/pleats are possible with this foot.
