Shell Tuck
This is a pretty hem finish for lingerie and tricot fabrics.
May also be used for decorative rows of stitching.
• Set the stitch width and length as you desire.
• Tighten the top thread for best results.
Use a lightweight fabric such as tricot. Fold and stitch on
the bias. Allow the needle to just clear the folded edge of
the fabric when it swings off the fabric to the right.
If you sew rows of shell stitches, space the rows at least
1.5 cm (5/8”) apart.
You can sew shell stitches in any direction on knits or soft
silky wovens.
Lingerie Stitch (Model 3230 only)
Sew a fine seam in lingerie and lightweight knits. The
small seam size stretches and is comfortable to wear.
Place fabric edges so needle just clears edge when it
swings off the fabric to the right.
