Decorative sewing Shell edging Shell edging is a very effective finish for thin, soft fabrics such as silk and rayon fabrics. It is frequently used as a hem finish on lingerie. • Select blind stitch no. 5 and mirror it with the Mirror horizontally/keylock button (8). • Tighten the 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. 5:15

Shell edging
Shell edging is a very effective finish for thin, soft fabrics such
as silk and rayon fabrics. It is frequently used as a hem finish on
lingerie.
•
Select blind stitch no. 5 and mirror it with the Mirror
horizontally/keylock button (8).
•
Tighten the 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.
