• Serger pin tucks are simply a rolled edge setup stitched on the fold
of a fabric.
• Pin tucks do not roll.
• Using the multipurpose guide foot keeps the folded edge of the fabric close
to the needle and allows extremely straight, narrow and delicate stitches.
• Vertical pin -tucking should be serged in one direction on half of your panel
and the fabric turned and then serged the other direction on the other half.
1. Mark your lines for stitching by
pressing in folds to be serged.
2. If you are creating a panel with
vertical pin tucks, determine the
center of your panel and work out-
ward one side at a time .
3. Serge down each of your pin

tuck lines.

Your guide foot will help you
make perfect pin tucks.
• Serger lace insertion is simply a narrow flatlock setup.
• Us ing the multipurpose guide foot keeps the edge of the fabric and lace
close to the needle and allows extremely straight, narrow and delicate
stitches.
• Flatlock should be serged in one direction on the first side of the insertion
and serged the other direction on the other side.
• The loop or the ladder side may appear on the surface of the insertion .
The loop side will appear to be a trim, the ladder side appears as
delicate hand stitches joining the fabric to the lace.
1. Fold the fabric edges you will be flatlocking the lace to back ¼" and
press. (We will refer to the wrong side of the fabric as the side that the
raw edge was folded to.)
2. Lay your insertion lace on the folded edge of your fabric. If your fabric
is laying wrong side up, the loops will appear on the right side of the
fabric. Likewise, if your fabric is laying right side up, the ladder side will
appear on the right side of the fabric.
3. Serge from top to bottom. Open the flatlocked fabric and lace so they
I ie flat.
4. Lay your next piece of fabric with the SAME SIDE UP that you used in the
second step on a flat surface . Lay your serged piece on top. Make sure
the lace meets the fold and your pieces of fabric are arranged so that the
same sides face each other. Serge the lace and fold together.
5. Open this side of the fabric and see how lovely and delicate this
technique is.
NOTE: Insertion lace is flat (not gathered) and has straight edges on both
edges. Practice this technique and test your stitch length and threads using
inexpensive prepackaged hem lace that can be found in the tapes display
wherever you buy fabric and notions.
