Sewing Scalloped Edges

Step 1

Download the printable scalloped edge template or create your own with a round object such as a cup or saucer.

Step 2

Mark the scallops on the facing edge of the wrong side of the fabric. It is best to start at the center.

Step 3

Place your fabric and the scallop facing right sides together. Using a short stitch length, stitch the scallops, pivoting at the top of each one.

Step 4

Trim the fabric away from the edges of the scallop and snip into the curves and the pivot point.

Step 5

Turn to the right side and press.
