Use a lightweight fabric (tricot, for example). Fold the fabric in bias and stitch on the fold. Allow the needle to just clear the folded edge to create a shelled edge. You may need to increase the needle thread tension slightly.

If you sew rows of shell stitches, space the rows at least 5/8" (1.5 cm) apart. You can also sew shell stitches on knits or soft silky woven fabrics, in any direction.
