v Scallop hem
Fold the fabric right side together in and sew
along the edge.
Cut the fabric along the seam leaving an
allowance of 3mm for seaming.
Notch the allowance.
Turn the fabric over and push out the curved
seam to the surface and iron it.
v Scallop edging
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.
