So, I cut out the pieces of this linen guimpe I'm making. Piecing together the front and back yoke, with lace... And tried out my new seam guide presser foot and my twin needle for these fast machine sewn pintucks. I am pretty sure I might put them into half the things I make from now on. 😆

A larger view of the finished bit of sewing. The lace almost completely hides a seam underneath it, where two too narrow pieces of the linen have been joined to make a more convenient, usable whole. Two lines of the machine pin tucks follow along the line on both sides. It looks delicate and deliberate, cute and lovely. A little bit of miniature embellishment, making the plain bit of fabric immediately look more luxurious and fine. Sini's pink fingers in the frame.
A close up photo of the presser foot and sewing needles bit of a sewing machine, with fine white linen being sewn. There is a narrow but sedately ornate linen lace running the length of the sewing, and the two needles in one contraption on the sewing machine is putting a tiny little machine tuck into it, sewn along the lace. The distance to it is very precisely guided by the seam guide foot, which is a presser foot that has a clear plastic foot part, so you can see what's under it, and a little extended metal arm thingy so you can have haptic feedback as well, and have it follow along the edge of fabric should you wish. The result looks absolutely lovely. There's persistent cat hair and lint on the sewing machine parts.
