Shell
edging
provides
nice
trimming,
especially
on
sheer,
soft
materials.
Fold
over the
fabric
edge
once
along
the line
which
is to
be
decorated.
During
sewing,
the blindstitches
draw
in the
fabric
edge
at
regular
intervals,
thus
producing
a
shell-
edge effect.
The stronger
the needle
thread
ten
sion,
the
more
the
fabric
edge
is indented
(Fig.
2).
Adding
a
wool
thread
of
a different
colour
not
only
reinforces
the
edge,
but
also
makes
an
attractive
contrast
trimming.
Place
the
material
under
the
needle
so
that it
pro
trudes
far enough
to
allow
the wide
zigzag
blind
stitch
to
pass
over
its
edge
(Fig.
1).
