Use a lightweight fabric such as tricot. Fold the fabric and stitch on the bias. You may need to increase the needle thread tension slightly. Allow the needle to just clear the folded edge of the fabric at the 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.
