Sewing Instructions
Scalloped Edge:
- Placing wrong sides of large fabric pieces together, sew the 2 side
seams and top seam at ½ inch. (PHOTO 1)
- Trim seams and press open.
- Turn right side out and press seams flat.
- Attach satin foot, and select stitch # 48 (Scallop).
- With a marking pencil or chalk, trace a line 1 inch from the bottom,
all along the raw edge. (PHOTO 2)
- Place strip of fusible web (optional) along the marked line. Stitch
along following the marked line using stitch # 48 (Scallop).
- Trim along scalloped edge, and trim excess fusible web around the
scallop if necessary. (PHOTO 3)
- Press. If you have used fusible web, be sure to cover stitching with
a clean pressing cloth. The heat of the iron will melt the fusible
web and will prevent the scalloped edge from unraveling.
- Next mirror image stitch # 48 and sew 2 inches from the first scallop.
If you used fusible web for the first scallop, use it again for the
second scallop. (PHOTO 4)
- Select stitch # 53 (Bead) and stitch down the center between the
2 scallops. (PHOTO 5)

slightly above or below this line depending on where the last stitch
of the pattern ends. The importance is that the corners are clean and
even.
