This is used to finish seam allowance on synthetics and other fabrics that tend to pucker. The stitch is also excellent for darning and mending tears.

•Seam finishing

Place fabric under the presser foot in such a manner that the edge is slightly inside the right-hand side of the presser foot. Guide the fabric so that the right hand stitches fall at the edge of the fabric.

•Mending

Position tear under the needle so that the stitch catches both sides.

Use a lightweight fabric such as tricot. Fold the fabric and

S

stitch on the bias. You may need to increase the needle

 

thread tension slightly. Allow the needle to just ctear the

 

folded edge of the fabric at zigzag stitches.

 

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.
