SCALLOP OUTLINE STITCH

Applications

Decorative Stitching

Use this stitch to embellish your sewing projects with a single row, multiple rows, or even in combination with other decorative stitches. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using. It is also helpful to use a stabilizer to help support the stitches. Learn more about needles and stabilizers on the SINGER website.

Scallop Hems

Use this decorative stitch to add a scalloped hem to projects like table linens, children's clothing, and much more. Set the stitch width to its widest setting and the stitch length as desired. Place two lightweight fabrics together, right sides facing. Sew the stitch near the bottom of the hem. When finished sewing, use a fine point scissor to trim the seam allowance into the "corners" of the scallops. Turn the hem right side out and press.
