Video - Using the Pfaff Pintuck Foot with Decorative Stitch Guide

The video shows how versatile this foot can be. It has a dual purpose and is reversible to create wonderful patterning on fabric, garments and home decor items. 

With this Pintuck foot, which also incorporates a stitch guide, you can accurately sew pintucks with a spacing of 5 or 11 mm. The same foot allows you to precisely space decorative stitches up to 9 mm wide between the pintucks.

The Pintuck Technique:

• Foot can be attached with guide pointing left or right. Insert a twin needle.
• Select straight stitch.
• With normal tension and twin needle, sew one row of pintucks.
• Place first pintuck under groove in extended guide. Sew second pintuck, which is spaced to allow decorative stitch in area between pintucks.
• Sew the remaining pintucks.
