Shell Stitch
Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right side
up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the folded
edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim away ex-
cess fabric from the backside, close to the stitching line.
Double Overlock Stitch
The Double overlock stitch has three main uses. It is perfect
for attaching flat elastic, for overcasting, and for seaming and
overcasting in one operation. It is primarily used on slightly
stretch fabrics and non-stretch fabrics such as linen, tweed, and
medium to heavy-weight cotton.
Ladder Stitch
The Ladder stitch is primarily used for drawn thread hemstitch-
ing. It can also be used for sewing over thin tape in a contrast-
ing or same color.Place the stitch in the center and a special
effect will be obtained for decoration. Another use for the
ladder stitch is couching over narrow ribbon, yarn or elastic.
For drawn thread work, choose a coarse linen type fabric and
after sewing draw the thread out within the ladder for an open
airy appearance.
