SHELL
TUCK
The
blind
hem
stitch
gives
a
very
effective
and
easy
way
to
make
a
shell
tuck
for
lingerie,
pillow
cases,
and
decorative
finishes.
This
works
well
on
knits
or
on
the
bias
of
soft,
woven
fabrics.
A
single
folded
bias
tape
may
be
tucked
in
this
manner,
and
then
applied
under
a
fold
for
a
decorative
hem
on
pillowcases
or
applied
with
the
facings
at
the
neckline
or
armhole
for
a
decorative
finish.
Set
the
upper
tension
dial
to
a
little
bit
tihter
position
than
normal.
Fold
under
the
edge
where
the
shell
tuck
is
to
be
created.
Place
the
bulk
of
the
fabric
to
tte
right
of
the
needle
with
the
fold
ed
edge
to
the
left.
Place
the
fabric
so
that
the
folded
edge
will
be
guiding
into
the
center
cut
of
the
foot.
The
straight
stitches
will
form
on
the
fabric,
and
the
zigzag
bite
will
swing
to
the
left
off
of
the
folded
edge.
The
shell
edge
is
created
as
the
needle
swings
back
onto
the
fabric.
The
size
of
the
“shell”
can
be
varied
by
changing
the
stitch
length.
DECORATIVE
EFFECTS
By
sewing
two
adjacent
rows
of
blind
hem
stit
ching
on
lace
or
ribbon
attractive
decorations
are
created.
The
stitch
may
be
pivoted
when
the
zigzag
bite
swings
to
the
left
and
the
points
mat
ched
in
the
second
row.
Another
variation
alternates
the
zigzag
bites
in
the
center
of
the
straight
stitched
segment.
The
stitch
may
also
be
pivoted
after
two
straight
stit
ches
to
form
a
snowflake-like
pattern.

TOPSTITCHING
EFFECTS
A
new
kind

effect
can
be
produc
ed
by
couching
a
strand
or
two

or
yarn
with
the
blind
hem
stitch.
