2:24 Utility stitches and practical sewing Shell-edging Shell-edging is attractive on thin, soft fabrics such as silk and Bastiste. It is often used as a decorative edging on lingerie. The higher the needle thread tension, the deeper the shell edge scallop. • Serge the fabric edge and iron the seam allowance to the left. • Take care that the fabric only runs half underneath the presser foot while sewing. This intensiÀes the effect of the shelledging. select K 4,5 1,5 I 4,5 1,5 I 4,5 1,5 4-5 0/1 4-5 0/1 4-5 0/1 Tip: By sewing a colored woollen or 12 wt. cotton thread into the seam you strengthen the shell-edge while also creating an attractive contrast in the seam. A Àne fabric of another color can also be used instead of a woollen thread. Just lay the heavy thread against the edge of the fold and let the zigzag swing of the stitch catch the heavy thread forming a scallop.
