Shell edging
Shell edging is a very effective À nish for thin, soft fabrics
such as silk and rayon fabrics. It is frequently used as a hem
À nish on lingerie.
• Select blind stitch No. 5 and mirror it with the “Pattern
mirror” button
.
• Tighten the needle thread tension to create a deeper shell
tuck.
• Finish the raw edge and press the seam allowance to the
left.
• While sewing, make sure the fabric runs under the
presser foot at half of the foot width, and the blind hem
swings over the folded edge.
Tip: Add a colored pearl cotton thread on the folded edge as
you sew the shell tuck. This creates a pretty contrast and
strengthens the hem.
