LESSON 85: SLOPED FESTON POINT

Slant Scallop Stitch Tutorial:

We present this tutorial for slanted scallop stitch for you to enjoy.

It is used on straight and slightly curved edges, highlight work, extended work, cut work, straight and curved profiles (when working small). You work from left to right. The turned edge is formed on the bottom line.

Fig. A: Take out the needle at 1, put it in 2 and take it out again at 3, with the thread under the needle. Pass all the needle and thread. At the next point, put the needle in 4 and take it out in 5. Repeat to the right

Secure the last loop by making a small stitch along the bottom line. Slanted from bottom left to top right.

Fig. B: Take out the needle at 1. Put it in at 2 and take it out at 3, with the loop thread under the needle. Pass the entire needle with the thread.

At the next point, put the needle in 4 and take it out at 5. Repeat to the right. Finish the last bow by making a dot along the bottom line.

From here we invite you to try it and you will be surprised by the effect. I encourage you to try and you will love it.

Follow the tutorial step by step and you will see how while you are sewing you can think of other ways to make other stitches, even combined with all the ones that I am putting here. You can use it both in borders, as in curtains, sheets, towels etc. or as a simple ornament point in one of your paintings. It is best to follow the video step by step here:

Materials

• You need a sharp pointed needle. In your trusted haberdashery they can advise you on this.
• Thimble, we know that it is not easy to get used to it, but the earlier you adapt, the better, you will avoid many punctures.
• Special thread for sewing. Or you can also use fine crochet yarn if it is to decorate something
• Frame, there are made of wood, plastic and silicone. Lately I spend the silicone ones because I like them better, but that goes to taste.
• Light, the more the better and to be able to be natural
