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.

The Cording Foot (additional accessory for some machine models) has grooves on top that help guide thin yarns or cords as you stitch over them. The stitch "catches" the cords to secure them to the fabric surface. Use a tear-away stabilizer underneath as you sew to help prevent fabric puckering. Use this decorative stitch to add a scalloped hem to projects like table linens, children's clothing, and much more. Select the scallop decorative stitch.

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 washaway 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.
