Shell edging provides nice trimming, especially
on sheer, soft materials. Fold over the fabric edge
once along the line which is to be decorated.
During sewing, the blindstitches draw in the fabric
edge at regular intervals, thus producing a shell-
edge effect. The stronger the needle thread ten
sion, the more the fabric edge is indented (Fig. 2).
Adding a wool thread of a different colour not only
reinforces the edge, but also makes an attractive
contrast trimming.
Place the material under the needle so that it pro
trudes far enough to allow the wide zigzag blind
stitch to pass over its edge (Fig. 1).
