Shell stitch is for seaming and overcasting sheer, soft fabrics in
one operation. It also produces a delicate shell hem on lingerie
and other fine garments.
SEAM AND OVERCAST IN ONE
Place the right sides of the fabric together and position under the
presser foot so that the zig-zag part of the stitch sews just over the
raw edge.
SHELL TUCKS
Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right side up
so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the folded edge,
pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim away excess fabric
close to the stitching line.

This is a strong stitch because as its name implies, it makes three
short stitches where the normal zigzag makes only one.
For this reason it is highly recommended for overcasting all types
of fabrics.
It is also ideal for mending tears, patching, sewing towelling, patch-
work and attaching flat elastic.
At 0 stitch length the 3-step zigzag makes an excellent bartack.
