Shell Tuck
Place the folded edge along the slot of foot.
The needle should fall off the edge of the fabric on
the right forming a tuck.
z On heavyweight fabrics that ravel, the raw
edge should be overcast first. Then fold the
hem, as illustrated, leaving 1/4˝ (0.7 cm) of the
hem edge showing.

x Position the fabric, so that the needle at its
leftmost position just pierces the edge of the
fold.
c Turn the guide screw to adjust the guide
aligning with the folded edge.
Sew along the folded edge guiding the fabric
so the needle catches the folded edge.
