Use the Pintuck Blade to accentuate the pintucks. The Pintuck Blade is attached to your machine's needle plate.
The fabric gets raised by the blade during sewing to make the tucks higher and more visible.
For heavier fabrics, use the five-groove Pintuck Foot and the large Pintuck Blade.
Attach desired Pintuck Foot to the machine.
Snap the round knob of the Pintuck Blade into the round hole on the stitch plate with the blade pointing towards the needle. Insert a 1.6 mm - 2.0 mm twin needle into the machine.
Draw or create lines on the fabric where pintucks are desired. Position the line at the centre of the presser foot. Stitch slightly slower than normal, guiding the fabric. The Pintuck Blade will raise the centre of the fabric to produce defined pintucks. (Gently pull the fabric taut while sewing the pintucks.)
