The Stitch and Its Uses
The Shell Stitch is formed by sewing a
blind hem over forded fabric. Several rows of shell stitching are called shell tucks.
Shell stitching can be used to finish hems, sleeve and neck openings.
Sheii tucking can be used to create
scalloped tucks on blouses and
lingerie,
Here's How
1, For best effect:
-set the stitch length as you desire,
--you may need to tighten the
top thread tension slightly.
- a_low the needle to just clear the folded edge of the fabric when it zigzags.
2.If you sew rows of shell stitches, space the rows 5/8" apart.
You can sew Shell Stitch on knits or sort silky wovens in any direction.
