Shell-edging
Shell-edging is attractive on thin, soft
fabrics such as silk and Bastiste.
It is often used as a decorative edging on
lingerie.
The higher the needle thread tension, the
deeper the shell edge scallop.
• 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 intensi es the effect of the shell-
edging.
Tip: By sewing a
cotton thread into the seam you strengthen
the shell-edge while also creating an attractive
contrast in the seam. A ne fabric of another
color can also be used instead of a woollen
thread.
Just lay the heavy thread against the edge of
the fold and let the zigzag swing of the stitch
catch the heavy thread forming a scallop.
