Instructions
Pintucks are a beautiful way to add texture to a classic heirloom garment or everyday wear. Pintucks can be corded or hollow depending on the desired look or weight of fabric. Pintucks can be straight parallel tucks or soft curves that meander around.

The Baby Lock Pintuck Foot is designed with 5 grooves and will work best with a 2.0/80 twin needle. This is not to say you cannot use other widths of twin needles with this foot, but you will need to test the stitching to discover any variations. What do those numbers mean on the twin needle? The first number refers to the distance between the needles in millimeters, and the second number refers to the size of the needle itself.
Now, let’s sew a few parallel pintucks.
- Use a washable marker to draw the first pintuck or pull a thread to determine straight of grain of fabric.
- Sew the first pintuck with the center of the presser foot over the marked line or thread slit.
- For subsequent tucks, position the first pintuck under an off-center groove and sew the length of the first pintuck. The groove will track the existing tuck, thus guiding the fabric straight into the twin needle for formation of the next tuck.
- Repeat tracking the most recent tuck in the off-center groove to stitch a new tuck alongside until the desired number of tucks has been formed. Odd-numbered tucks are more appealing to the eye.
Note: It is recommended to always use an odd number of tucks up to 9. After 9, the eye cannot distinguish odd from even.
