The Stitch and Its Uses
The Shell Stitch is formed by sewing a blind
hem over folded fabric. Several rows of shell
stitching are called shell tucks.
Shell stitching can be used to finish hems,
sleeve and neck openings.
Shell tucking can be used to create scalloped
tucks on blouses and lingerie.
1.
For best effect —
—
set the stitch width and length as you desire.
—
you may need to tighten the top thread slightly.
—
allow the needle to just clear the folded edge of the fabric when it
zigzags.
2.
If you sew rows of shell stitches, space the rows 1 /2" apart.
You can sew Shell Stitch on knits or soft silky wovens in any direction.
