"Pattern mirroring" 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 underneath. Shell edging is very effective for thin, soft fabrics such as silk and rayon fabrics. It is frequently used as an edge finish on undergar ments. Select blind stitch No. 5 and mirror it with the "Pattern mirror" key The tighter the needle thread tension is set, the farther the shell edging will pull in. Serge 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. This provides a more prominent shell edging effect 82
