Pintucks are so cool. They look professional and make your home sewn clothing look impressive. In this video I show you how to use a pintuck foot to make perfect pintucks everytime without having to even look at a ruler. I definitely recommend getting a pintuck foot. I bought mine last week for only $3.99 here plus $1.99 shipping AND I used coupon code: VVN392R to get 20% off my order.

You can do a couple neat tricks with pintucks. First littlegirlPearl used a contrasting thread to make her pintucks which gave it an eyepopping look. Second, pouch_designs took her pintucks and sewed a line across, pushing them in one direction, then below sewed a line pushing them in another direction. The result is a cool wavy look. I think that would make a GREAT look for a front bib dress.

Hi Kathleen,
I believe there's a problem with the audio about 30 seconds into the video... Other than that, thank you for this tutorial! I recently got a pintuck foot but didn't know that you actually need a twin needle to use it :-P
I was excited to watch your video, but at least on my computer, the sound stops after about the first 30 seconds. I tried it both on your blog page and within the YouTube page. Are others having this problem?
So, call me crazy, but does the sound just go off at about 1 minute?
YEAH! Thanks Kathleen that was awesome! I've been waiting for that one!
Love and Hugs, Jess

PS. I ordered my child's dress form like you suggested and it will be here shortly! Can't wait to get started on that Halloween costume!
I can't hear the sound after about a minute; is there something I'm doing wrong with the video?
Is it just me or does the video lose sound after a while?
there is no sound for most of your video
Thanks for posting this. I don't know why bit I loose sound after you install the twin needle. Is anyone else having this problem?
The sound stopped working for me about 30 seconds in.
I love watching your tutorials! I have been sewing since I was 7 (40 years!) but I always learn something new when I watch your clips.
I have one of these but have never used it, now I can't wait to make something for may granddaughter!
If you don't mind, I have a tip for you. It looks as if you hold your camera in one hand while trying to sew. Look at hatcams.com! I have a friend that uses one of these when she needs hands free filming and it works great. It is about $30 but if you already have a camera that would fit it, it might help you out!
I am looking forward to your next tutorial! Thanks again for doing them!
Thanks Brandi,
I am currently trying to find one so that is useful!
Thanks for the post. I actually just made a top for myself similar to the one you have on your blog. The hard part for me was making the pattern. I didn't use a pintuck foot. Although it does make it easy to make the pintucks, I personally don't like the stiching it makes on the back of the pintuck. I really like your "technic Tuesdays".
So nice! I want a pin tuck foot now! I have a Singer though, so I'm guessing the foot for it may look a little different.
Thanks for the tutorial! I love pin tucks. :)
Beth,
Actually I've bought singer foots for my machine before and they fit as long as they are the type that you just snap on.
I have been wondering about this type of foot. I do believe I may need to purchase one. :)
I had no idea it was that easy! I thought there was all sorts of folding and measuring to do.
Is that foot pretty universal? I have a Kenmore but I didn't see any other brand mentioned on the link so I thought perhaps it doesn't matter that much.
Thanks - your tutorial series is awesome. I've had a pintuck foot for years but never knew how to use it!
great tips! Thanks Kathleen. I'm totally getting one now. $4? how can I not??!
thank you, Kathleen!
I've been thinking about how to lately. You tutorial came in time.
I had no trouble to watch the video.
Thanks for the tutorial. I can't wait to give it a try!

thanks for this. I was wondering if you had already shown how to do a hem. I find making a hem on skirts and dresses hard because it never looks clean.
thanks!
also! I am having a hard time with elastic waistbands. ugh.
omg. this is really awesome. Thanks so much. I must get this foot now!
@Ana
Can you make nice pintucks w/ the standard presser foot?
