Pintucks?

[mmymoon]

http://www.fanplusfriend.com/c2/SP00031_02.jpg <- What I want to know, dear friends... do you do the tucks BEFORE sewing the side seams, or after, once it's a tube?

The ruffler rocks my world -- and I also bought the 3-pintuck foot for my machine, so that's my next technique to tackle.

I need frills, people. I need them. BLACK FRILLS.

Do you have a hem foot, the kind that can just roll it under and go? If so, I might need to visit and sew about four yards of edges so I can *finally* use the fabric I have for ring slings. Ronan's too big, but I might reproduce again. Or gift them.

I was under the impression that you do all of your sewing/tucking/ruffling etc first, and then you sew the seams and make it into a tube. It may be different with better or more professional sewing machines, though.

Huzzah for frills!

I do it after because I'm not very precise with my cutting and markings.

I pintuck before. :3

I pintuck before...not that I've made many pintucks in my sewing life. That will probably change, now that I've discovered that one of the gifted sewing doohickeys I have is a tuck marker (this one--how's yours look?)

The ruffler is more fun than it should be...
