For machine models with adjustable stitch length and/or stitch width, try various stitch length and/or width adjustments to change the look of the stitch as desired. It may be helpful to use a Satin Stitch Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) for denser stitch settings, as this foot has a groove on the underside to allow stitches to pass freely underneath. Experiment with various types of thread such as rayon thread, all-purpose thread, metallic thread, topstitching thread, or even 30wt and 12wt cotton. Be sure to use a needle that is appropriate for the type of thread you are using, and stabilizer to help support the fabric and stitches.

Select the scallop decorative stitch. If your machine has adjustable stitch length and stitch width, set the stitch width to its widest setting and the stitch length to a short setting so that you don't see fabric between the stitches. Use a Satin Stitch Foot (additional accessory for some machine models), which will allow the dense stitching to pass freely underneath the foot. Use a wash-away or very light tear-away stabilizer under the fabric. Sew the stitch, then remove the stabilizer. Use a fine point scissor to trim away excess fabric, leaving a scallop hem at the edge. 28 of 49
