SCALLOPING
When the Scallop Disc is in use, the needle moves to
form a scallop while the fabric moves in a straight line
under the presser foot. The depth of the scallop is con­
trolled by the bight setting. A 5 bight produces a scallop
approximately deep and each bight setting of less
than 5 produces a correspondingly narrower scallop.
The length of scallop varies with the stitch length. A
12 stitch and a 5 bight produce a scallop approximately
IM" in length, a 25 stitch and 5 bight give approxi­
mately a scallop, while a stitch length above 25
produces a scallop of in length or less depending
upon the stitch.
A single straight stitch separates each scallop providing
space for cutting when the seam edges are trimmed and
turned to form the finished, faced scallop edge.
Scalloped edges are used extensively on blouses, dresses
and on children’s wear.
Stitch in the same way as when making a straight seam.
The garment section will pass straight under the
presser foot while the needle follows a scallop pattern.
Trim seam allowance to less than 3^" and clip into each
point between scallops.
Blend this narrow seam by clipping small wedges at
regular intervals. When the scallop is turned, the
seamed scallop edge will have a smooth even contour. Fig. 168. Scalloped Edge Completed
