How to make tucks on fabric

Send

This elegant decor is mainly used for blouses, shirts and dresses. Tucks are simple enough, but a number of preliminary operations are necessary.

Step 1

On the front side of the fabric, draw lines of pinches with a phantom-pencil / “magic” tailor's chalk or mark these lines manually with basting stitches.

Step 2

Fold the fabric along the line of the first pinch and smooth the fold with the thumbnail. Lay a line along the fold to the edge. Stitch the remaining pinches in the same way.

Stitches can also be sewn onto smoothly spread out fabric using a double needle for the sewing machine or a special foot for stitching stitches (see picture). At the same time, under the fabric along the lines of the nipples, segments of thick threads are laid (for example, for overcasting cuts and loops) and are seized in the seams, which makes the nipples plastic.

Step 3

Iron stitched tucks to preserve the relief from the wrong side without pressing, placing a soft substrate under the fabric.

Tip:

be sure to check on an unnecessary flap how much fabric goes to the tucks (for example, with our models each tuck takes about 4 mm of fabric, and on very thin fabrics - 3 mm).
