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.

Here's How

1, For best effect:

— set the stitch length as you

desire.

— you may need to tighten the

top thread tension 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.
