1.First finish the raw edge. Do this by turning it under on fine fabrics or overcasting it on medium to heavyweight fabrics. Then turn the hem up the required depth, press and pin in place.

2.Now fold the fabric as illustrated.

3.Place the fabric under the foot with the fold of the fabric positioned so that the needle just pierces the fold when the needle swings to the left. Use stitch width control to fine tune exact position of needle.

4.When completed, the stitching is almost invisible on the right side of the fabric.

-Regular shell stitch produces a tiny shell hem on lingerie and other fine garments.

-If bigger size of shell pattern is desired, use four-point shell stitch.

Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right side up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the folded edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim away excess fabric close to the stitching line.
