Shell Stitch

Double Overlock Stitch

Ladder Stitch

Turn under the raw edge and press. Place the fabric right side

up so that the zigzag part of the stitch sews just over the folded

edge, pulling the fabric in to form a shell hem. Trim away ex-

cess fabric from the backside, close to the stitching line.

The Double overlock stitch has three main uses. It is perfect

for attaching at elastic, for overcasting, and for seaming and

overcasting in one operation. It is primarily used on slightly

stretch fabrics and non-stretch fabrics such as linen, tweed, and

medium to heavy-weight cotton.

The Ladder stitch is primarily used for drawn thread hemstitch-

ing. It can also be used for sewing over thin tape in a contrast-

ing or same color.Place the stitch in the center and a special

eect will be obtained for decoration. Another use for the

ladder stitch is couching over narrow ribbon, yarn or elastic.

For drawn thread work, choose a coarse linen type fabric and

after sewing draw the thread out within the ladder for an open

airy appearance.
