SATIN STITCHED SCALLOPS
Satin stitched scallops provide a beautiful and
durable finish for household linens as well as
for wearing apparel.
Prepare the work for satin stitching by using
a double thickness of fabric stayed with crino
line or organdy, or a single thickness backed
with paper. Trace scallops in position, allowing
a sufficient margin of fabric (about 2 inches),
at right to grasp with right hand in guiding
scallops. If, when cutting, sufficient length
were not allowed, machine baste a piece of
same fabric, or stay fabric just outside marked
line of scallop.
Use a size 11 needle, 50 embroidery or silk
thread, very light upper tension and medium
light bobbin tension and most important,
the Pressure on the Presser Foot must be
set as light as possible so that the fabric can be
moved from right to left while satin stitch is
being made. The fabric remains straight at all
times in line with the feed. Scallops are fol
lowed without turning by lightly moving the
work, to right or left, so that the needle on its
right swing follows the marking for the scallop.

This will maintain parallel stitches, evenly
spaced, automatically producing the effect of a
narrower stitch at the point between scallops
and widening to full depth at the arc.
