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.

set the stitch length as you
desire.

you may need to tighten the

space the rows 5/8" apart.
