Utility stitches and practical sewing Shell edging The shell edge is very effective for thin, soft fabrics such as silk and rayon fabric. It is frequently used as an edge finish on undergarments. The tighter the bobbin thread tension is set, the farther the shell edge will pull in. Serge the fabric edge and iron over the seam allowance. • Make sure that the fabric runs under the presser foot at half of the foot width. This provides a more prominent shell edging effect. Tip: If you add a colored pearl cotton thread at the edge you can strengthen the shell edging and obtain a pretty con trast at the same time. Instead of pearl cotton thread you can also place a differ ent colored light fabric underneath. 36

Shell
edging
The
shell
edge
is
very
effective
for
thin,
soft
fabrics
such
as
silk
and
rayon
fabric.
It
is
frequently
used
as
an
edge
finish
on
undergarments.
The
tighter
the
bobbin
thread
tension
is
set,
the
farther
the
shell
edge
will
pull
in.
Serge
the
fabric
edge
and
iron
over
the
seam
allowance.
Make
sure
that
the
fabric
runs
under
the
presser
foot
at
half
of
the
foot
width.
This
provides
a
more
prominent
shell
edging
effect.
Tip:
If
you
add
a
colored
pearl
cotton
thread
at
the
edge
you
can
strengthen
the
shell
edging
and
obtain
a
pretty
con
trast
at
the
same
time.
Instead
of
pearl
cotton
thread
you
can
also
place
a
differ
ent
colored
light
fabric
underneath.
