STITCHES

• To sew

t When the needle comes to the left

y When the needle comes to the right

Position the fabric, so that the needle at its leftmost position

just pierces the edge of the fold.

After hemming is completed, press together both sides of

the finished hem. The top side of the fabric should show

only the blind stitches.

e Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric

r 1/4˝ (0.6 cm)

On heavyweight fabrics that ravel, the raw edge should be

overcast first. Then fold the hem, as illustrated, leaving

1/4˝ (0.6 cm) of the hem edge showing.

Use a lightweight fabric (tricot, for example). Fold the

fabric in bias and stitch on the fold. Allow the needle to just

clear the folded edge to create a shelled edge. You may

need to increase the needle thread tension slightly.

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.
