SHELL STITCHED HEMS
Shell stitched hems provide a soft, ornamental
finish for delicate fabrics, particularly when
material is cut on the bias.
Lower shell hemmer over raw edge of fabric on
wrong side of material. Take one stitch, raise shell
hemmer. Draw the work back and cut threads.
Holding both ends of attached needle thread, lead
raw edge of fabric lightly into scroll of hemmer,
drawing on threads to carry it through. On reach­
ing slot of hemmer, lower the needle into hem, then
lower hemmer and stitch.
