Shell Tuck

(Model 2110 – optional foot)
This is a pretty hem finish for lingerie and tricot fab-
rics.
May also be used for decorative rows of stitching.
Use a lightweight fabric such as tricot. Fold and
stitch on the bias. Set the stitch width and length as
you desire. You may need to tighten the top thread
slightly. 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.
You can sew shell stitches in any direction on knits or
soft silky wovens.

Box Stitch

(Model 2110 – optional foot)
Choose the box stitch to attach elastic directly onto
fabric without making an elastic casing.
1. Mark the elastic into quarters and match these to
the center front, center back and side seams.
2. Place the middle of the elastic under the center
of the presser foot and stitch into place, making
sure the elastic is evenly stretched.
NOTE: Use the optional Elastic Gatherer to eliminate
manually stretching the elastic.
