I I •1 .1 Shell edging - 5 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 "Pattern mirror" button . • Tighten the needle 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. 67
