Chapter V – Decorative stitching
Shell stitching
(1) Pattern selection dial: F
(2) Stitch: 1.5-4
(3) Stitch width: 3-5
(4) Presser foot: Zigzag
The shell tuck stitch can be used to sew a picot (lace like) edge on a lightweight fabric.
Set the pattern selection Dial to H.
Sew the fabric on the bias, placing it under the presser foot so that the straight stitches are sewn on the
seamline and the Zigzag stitches are sewn slightly over the folded edge.
This Stitch requires a tighter thread tension than normal.
Sew at a slow Speed.
