Sew the pintucks first before you cut the fabric around your pattern piece. first i traced around the pattern with chalk so i could mark the middle and cut a manageable block of fabric. to create the progression of tucks from the side to the front, i drew a straight horizontal line across the top and then vertical lines at perfect 90 degree angles. Tiny tucks! create beautiful texture on any fabric from denim to batiste by stitching raised tucks using a pintuck foot and a double needle. pintucks can be made with or without a filler cord, depending on the fabric and the look desired. once the machine is threaded with two spools of thread for a double needle, the sewing is simple. The first two tucks are sewn with a regular needle, folded on the center, and sewn a certain distance from the fold. the last pintuck is sewn with a wide twin needle and then the bobbin thread is pulled tight to form the pintuck. (read more about how to use a twin needle.) 4. these are my pintucks before they were ironed.
