a decorative edge finish for garments and table
and bed linens
Pre-stitching
™
place stabilizer under fabric edge
™
with foot No. 40C, stitch a row of satin scallops
approx. 3/8” (1cm) from the edge, using the
seam guide or slide-on table seam guide to help
you stitch straight
Trim Fabric
™
once all the satin scallops are completed,
carefully trim excess fabric
Overstitching Corded Scallops
™
insert presser foot No. 20C, and place filler cord
spool (e.g. Perle cotton No. 8) on the FHS lifter
•
the filler cord, which stabilizes the scallops, must
be the same color as the thread used to make
the scallops, as well as colorfast and shrinkproof
™
use Zig-zag stitch No. 2 (stitch width approx. 5,
length approx. 1/2 - 1) to overstitch the scallops,
guiding the filler cord along the stitching
•
the needle swing will alternately penetrate the
scallop stitching and the fabric just next to the
cord
™
slightly narrow the stitch width at the end of
each scallop. Sew last few stitches to end of
scallop, turn fabric slightly (with the needle
down), then sew a few stitches, and widen stitch
width again to sew the broad part of the scallop
