Scallop stitching
The wave-shaped repeating pattern, that looks like shells, is called "scalloping". It
is used to decorate the collar of blouses and the edges of knitting projects.
Shell tuck stitching
Use a lightweight fabric (tricot, for
example).
Fold and stitch on the bias.
When the needle swings to the right,
allow the needle to just clear the folded
edge of the fabric.
After stitching, open the fabric and iron
press the tucks flat to one side.
Scallop stitching
Stitch along the edge of the fabric,
making sure not to sew directly on the
edge of the fabric.
For better results, apply spray starch
onto the fabric and press with a hot iron
before it is sewn.
Trim along the stitches, be careful not to
cut the stitches.
