The Tailor Tacking foot is one of my favourite stiches on the machine, due to how delicate it is. I loved doing these samples on the white silk dupion I had chosen as my fabric, due to the grain within the fabric. I felt that this tiny detail really added to the final appearance.
I did the left sample by folding my fabric and stitching along the folded edge with a wide zig zag and a long length stitch. By unfolding the fabric it almost creates a beautiful and delicate satin stitch. The sample on the right was the typical tailor tacking stitch in parallel lines, then simply removing the top stitch to create the beautiful loop holes of the spool cotton. In hines sight I would have quite liked to change the spool tension so that I could vary the size of the loop holes and make it slightly more of an interesting sample.
