Padded Satin Scallops

an «airy» finish for any finished edge
•
for garments, table and bed linens
Preparation
™
to create padded satin scallops «in the air», i.e.
off the edge, place watersoluble or tear-away
stabilizer under the fabric, allowing to protrude
clearly at the edge
™
pin or baste stabilizer to fabric
™
place filler cord spool (e.g. Perle cotton No. 8)
on FHS lifter
•
the filler cord, which stabilizes the scallops,
should be the same color as the thread used to
make the scallops, as well as be colorfast and
shrinkproof
™
thread the filler cord from underneath the stitch
plate through the hole in the stitch plate
TIP
Perfect sewing results
As the padded satin scallop off the edge technique
requires some practice, always sew a test.
Stitching
™
stitch the first row of scallops
•
the scallops always begin and end on the fabric
edge, with the curve being stitched on the
stabilizer
•
if the scallops do not begin and end on the
fabric, they will not be attached to it
™
add 2 to 3 more rows of scallops as desired
•
with additional rows, the scallop begins and
ends in each case in the middle of the scallop of
the previous row
•
if the scallop stitch does not begin or end in the
middle of the scallop of the previous row, the
rows will not hold together
™
carefully remove the stabilizer on completion of
the stitching
