Shell Tuck
Machine setting:
q Stitch selector:
w Presser foot:
e Thread tension dial:
Use a lightweight fabric (tricot, for example).
Fold the fabric on the bias and stitch on the fold.
Allow the needle to just clear the folded edge to create a
shelled edge. You may need to increase the needle
thread tension slightly.
If you sew rows of shell stitches, space the rows at least
5/8˝ (1.5 cm) apart. You can also sew shell stitches on
knits or soft silky woven fabrics, in any direction.

r Feed dogs
Drop the feed dogs and remove the foot holder.
Draw a design on the fabric with tailor's chalk.
Stretch the fabric between embroidery hoops, and place
the hoops under the needle.
Lower the presser foot lifter to engage the needle thread
tension.
Holding the needle thread in your left hand, rotate the
handwheel towards you one complete turn. Pull the
needle thread to draw the bobbin thread to the right side
of the fabric.
At medium speed, stitch along the marked outline,
guiding the fabric carefully by hand.
After embroidery is completed, raise the feed dogs for
normal sewing.
