SHELL EDGE
Owner’s manual pg.____
• Select the Blindstitch #3/green -SW 2.5mm - 5mm and SL 1.5mm - 2mm. The longer the stitch
length, the larger the shells.
• Fold under one 6” edge about ½” and press.
• Place fabric to the right and position it under the foot so that the stitch, when it swings to the
left, will just pass over the folded edge.
• On knit fabrics the surplus can be trimmed from the wrong side close to the stitch.
• On woven fabrics it is advisable to first sew a row of small zigzag stitches about ¼” from
where the shell edge will be. Then you will be able to trim close to these stitches after the
edge is finished.
• Trim and mount the sample.
This stitch is suitable for fine, fabrics and is ideal for lingerie and nightwear.
