Shell-edging
Shell-edging is especially attractive on thin,
soft fabrics such as silk and viscose.
It is often used as an edging on lingerie.
The higher the needle thread tension, the
deeper the shell edge feed.
• Serge the fabric edge and iron the seam
allowance to the left.
• Take care that the fabric only runs half
underneath the presser foot while sewing.
This intensifi es the effect of the shell-
edging.

Tip: By sewing a colored woollen thread into
the seam you strengthen the shell-edge while
also creating an attractive contrast in the seam.
A fi ne fabric of another color can also be used
instead of a woollen thread.
