Faltennaehen fuer den Handel
Explanation:
When you type "tucking for the trade", any number of sites come up. This may be in reference to a machine that can do tucking on tuxedos or other decorative small pleats on shirts, blouses and dresses. You can also find Germn sites for "Falten und Biesen" which seems to be in a similar direction. I think tucking is just a generic term for sewing a "fold", and a pleat is a decorative fold, so is a "Biese", which is a fold that has topstitching.

Explanation:
ich denke, hier geht's um das Handwerk 'Schneider', to tuck bedeutet ja sowas wie 'stecken' etc. also, Schnitte zu ändern. Mir fällt im Moment auf deutsch leider nichts gutes ein
