The Stitch and Its Uses
The Shell Stitch is fornned 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.
