The shell edge is very effective for thin,
soft fabrics such as silk and rayon fabric.
It is frequently used as an edge
À
nish on
undergarments.The higher the needle
thread tension, the deeper the shell edge
feed.
• 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
contrast at the same time. Instead of
pearl cotton thread you can also place
a different colored light fabric under-
neath.
