Pin tuck 1: worked on a single layer of polyester organza with a coton thread inserted in the tunnel, resulting in a little sample with lots of movement and fine texture between the rows
Pin tuck 2: here the tucks were created in a more less regular grid on a fine silk with a coton thread inserted in the channels
Pin tuck 3 : tucks placed randomly on a single layer of polyester organza, Here the stitching becomes more visible and the fabric distresses slightly near the stitching
Pin tuck 4: a zigzag stitch on fine silk was used with the twin needle, no real texture was achieved here
Pin tuck 5: here the coton fabric was first pleated before stitching the tucks in across the fabric
Pin tuck 6:this is a little experiment I did with a wool thread. It was inserted in the tunnels that were stitched very closely. Then I tried to felt the whole sample. Probably because of the character of the thread, no real felting happened. I might have to try this with felting wool

You've got some super samples that have really worked well Pascale. I'm just about at the same stage as you. I've done some gathering samples and am just about to start on tucks and pleats. You have inspired me with some good ideas.
