Use a lightweight fabric, such as tricot. Fold the fabric and
stitch on the bias"Ji'. You may need to increase the needle
thread tension slightly. Allow the needle to just clear the
folded edge of the fabric.
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.

Seam finishing
Place the fabric under the presser foot in such a manner
that the edge is slightly inside the right-hand side of the
presser foot. Guide the fabric so that the right hand
stitches fall at the edge of the fabric.
Trim the excess close to the stitches. Be careful not to cut
the stitches.
Mending
Position the tear under the needle, so that the stitch
catches both sides.
