The Stitch and Its Uses

The Shell Stitch is formed by sewing a blind hem over folded fabric. Several rows of shell stitching are called shell tucks.

Shell stitching can be used to finish hems, sleeve and neck openings.

Shell tucking can be used to create

scalloped tucks on blouses and lingerie.

1.For best effect:

-set the stitch length as you desire.

-you may need to tighten the top thread tension slightly.

--	allow	the	needle	to	just
	clear the folded edge of the
	fabric	when	it zigzags.		A: Zigzag foot

2.If you sew rows of shell stitches, space the rows 5/8" apart.

You can sew Shell Stitch on knits or soft silky wovens in any direction.
