Lace adds a fanciful, feminine touch to blouses and
lingerie. Table linens and pillows become more elegant
when trimmed with lace.
Fold the raw edge of the fabric at least 5/8˝ (1.5 cm).
Place lace underneath and topstitch with blind hem stitch.
Trim excess fabric close to stitching.

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.
