SHELL TUCK
The
blind
hem
stitch
gives
a
very
effective
and
easy way to make a shell tuck for lingerie, pillow
cases,
and
decorative
finishes.
This
works
well
on
knits
or
on
the
bias
of
soft,
woven
fabrics.
A
single
folded
bias
tape
may
be
tucked
in
this
manner,
and
then
applied
under
a
fold
for
a
decorative
hem
on
pillowcases
or
applied
with
the
facings
at
the
neckline
or
armhole
for
a
decorative finish.
Set
the
upper
tension
dial
to
a
little
bit
tighter
position
than
normal.
Fold
under
the
edge
where
the
shell
tuck
is
to
be
created.
Place
the
bulk
of
the fabric to the right of the needle with the fold
ed
edge
to
the
left.
Place
the
fabric
so
that
the
folded
edge
will
be
guiding
into
the
center
cut
of
the
foot.
The
straight
stitches
will
form
on
the
fabric,
and
the
zigzag
bite
will
swing
to
the
left
off
of
the
folded
edge.
The
shell
edge
is
created
as
the
needle
swings
back
onto
the
fabric.
The
size
of
the
"shell"
can
be
varied
by
changing
the
stitch length.

TOPSTITCHING EFFECTS
A new kind of topstitching effect can be proc
ed by couching a strand or two of pearl coi
embroidery floss, or yarn with the blind I
stitch. Simply guide the cord through the
groove of the embroidery foot so that the b
hem stitch sews over the cord and not thro
it. The straight stitches of the blind hem st
will bury themselves along the right side of
cord. The sewing thread should match as do
as possible to blend into the fabric.
