Use a light weight fabric (tricot, for example). Fold the fabric as shown 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.

Applique, a technique for stitching fabric shapes onto another fabric, opens limitless design possibilities. Dimension and texture can be added by lightly stuffing all or part of design.

This machine has several different patterns that can be used to enhance your applique.

w Edge of the applique

In this type of applique, raw edges are folded under. First

cut the applique design out of card board. Next, place the

cardboard design on the fabric. Then cut the fabric slightly larger than the cardboard. Fold the fabric raw edge around the cardboard and press to form a perfectly shaped design. Remove the cardboard. Tape or pin the applique in place

wand sew, using the slit on the satin stitch foot as a guide next to the folded edge of the applique.
