Here's How
1. For best effect:
-- set the stitch length as you
desire.
- you may need to tighten the
top thread tension slightly,
- allow the needle to just
clear the folded edge of the
fabrtc when it zigzags,
2. If you sew rows of shell stitches,
space the rows 5/8" apart.
You can sew Shell Stitch on knits or
soft silky wovens m any direction.
