If you sew rows of shell tuck, space the rows at least
1.5 cm (5/8˝) apart.
You can also sew shell tuck on knits or soft silky woven
fabrics, in any direction.

w Needle thread tension:
e Presser foot:
Place an applique on the fabric and baste or pin it in
place.
Reduce the foot pressure (refer to page 8).
Lower the needle at the outer edge of the applique.
Sew while guiding the fabric so the needle falls along the
outer edge of the applique.
When turning a sharp corner, stop the machine with the
needle at the outer edge of the applique.
Raise the foot and pivot the fabric around the needle.
The stitch width can be changed from 1.0 to 5.0.
The right needle drop position will not move when
changing the stitch width.
