Regular shell stitch
13
-
Regular shell stitch produces a tiny shell
hem on lingerie and other fine garments.
Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right
side up so that the zig-zag 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 popular decorative stitch (used in sleeves or
fronts of blouses and dresses). To attach two separate
pieces of fabric together, leave a little space inbetween.
To prepare the fabric:
Fold under the seam allowances on the cut edges, and
press. Baste folded edges to tissue paper with about 1/8"
space between. Stitch over the 1/8" allowance, just
catching the fabric fold on both sides with needle. Remove
bastings and paper; press.
