Shell edging Blind-stitch seam Stitch length: 1-2 Left needle position Attach clear-view sewing foot No. 93-040 920-91. Slightly increase the tension for non-elastic fabrics. Shell edging makes a nice trimming on lingerie and garments made of sheer. soft materials or tricot. Fold the fabric along the line which is to be trimmed by shell edging. Sew along this folded edge with the needle alternately taking one stitch into the fabric and the other over its edge. As the threads are interlocked outside the fabric. the fabric edge is drawn inward. thus producing a shell edging effect. lse#N, 52 Blindstitching Blind-stitch seam Stitch length: 3-4 Left needle position Attach blindstitch foot No.93-040 917-91.
