“Stitch

Shell
edging
is
very
effective
on
tricot
fabric.
It is
frequently
used
as
an
edge
finish
on
lingerie.
Clean-finish
(neaten)
the
raw
edge
by
pressing
under
a
narrow
hem.
Position
the
folded
edge
so
the
right
swing
of
the
needle
just
clears
the
fabric
edge.
The
tighter
the
needle
thread
tension
is
set,
the
farther
the
shell
edging
will
pull
in.
TIP:
If you
add
a
heavy
decorative
thread
at
the
edge
you
can
strengthen
the
shell
edging
and
obtain
a
pretty
contrast
at
the
same
time.
