The Shell Stitch is formed by sewing a
blind hem over tolded labrlc. Several
rows ol shell stitching are calted shell

lingerie.
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
thelolded edge ot the tabdc
when it zigzags.
