Shell Tuck

This is a pretty hem finish for lingerie and tricot fabrics.
You can sew shell stitches in any direction on knits or
soft silky wovens.
Tighten thread tension dial to 7-8.
Use a lightweight fabric. For the maximum effect, fold
fabric on bias and stitch. Allow the needle to just clear
the folded edge of the fabric when it swings off the fabric
to the right.
If you sew rows of shell stitches, space the rows at least
1.5 cm (5/8˝) apart.

Triple Seam

This strong, durable stitch is recommended where both
elasticity and strength are needed. Because of its
durability, once in place, this stitch is not easily removed.
Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch and armhole
seams or to construct items such as backpacks. This
stitch can also be used for topstitching.
Elna invented this stitch in 1952.
Using a straight stitch (stitch length 4.0), baste a seam
together. Verify the fit. Reset the machine for triple seam
and sew.

Stretch Seam

A narrow stretch stitch that eliminates puckering on knit
fabrics and bias seams. The seam can be pressed flat
and opened.
Sew seam and press it open.
