We will tell you how to correctly perform simple horizontal and vertical tucks in the form of a "check", or wedge-shaped tucks. These are chest tucks in the shoulder products and waist ones in the waist.
Tucks, which will be discussed, look almost the same, in the form of a "tick", but at the same time they have a different solution (width and length) and a different arrangement:
In dresses and blouses in the chest area - the lateral or chest tuck can have a strictly horizontal position, or with an inclination up or down.
Waist in trousers and skirts - located vertically.
Main tucks
In order for the tuck to turn out to be smooth and accurate, you must follow the sequence of actions.
Step 1
Using tailor's chalk, transfer the contours of the tuck (tuck) onto the fabric.
Step 2
Fold the part with its face inward, while aligning the tuck contours, chop the tuck at the base with a tailor's pin.
Step 3
Sweep the tuck by starting the trowel from the top of the tuck.
Step 4
Stitch the tuck.
Start the line from the cut and lay it close to the notched line (at a distance of about approx. 1 mm).
Tighten at the beginning of the seam.
No tacking is necessary at the top of the tuck! Just tighten the threads and hide them inside the tuck.
Step 5
Using a sprayer, remove the basting.
Step 6
Carefully iron the tuck from the wrong side of the part.
And then iron the tuck depths (from bottom to top).
Important!
✂ Breast tucks are ironed down.
✂ Vertical tucks on a skirt or brk - to the middle of the part.
Step 7
Carefully iron the tuck from the front of the part.
