This is exactly what I was looking for! Simple, clear directions, and a full demonstration. ❤ Thanks so much.

[@juliescott4390]

Getting ready to do this to modify long sleeves on a t-shirt top to be 3/4 length. I can always count on you to provide simple and clear instructions! Here we go...

[@SewCutesy]

Love how clear your instructions always are! I seriously want to scallop EVERYTHING this summer!

[@OdeToFoliage]

Wow! I never realized scalloped edges would be so easy! Thank you!!

[@dorienknop9802]

wow. didn't know this could be done so easily. love it!

[@wendyrodriguez5375]

👏🏽 5 years later and still helpful 👏🏽

[@beckyshirley6352]

Perfect. Thank you for a great scallops demonstration. I plan to put some on the end of my pillow cases.

[@alaskacosplay]

I love scalloped edges especially as the edge of ruffles on the hems of 1850s dresses and petticoats that have a pretty edge to them that might possibly peek out.

[@ProfessorPincushion]

me too! :D

[@RebeccaStrzelec]

This was an excellent tutorial. I used it to shorten an ankle length corduroy dress that I thrifted to a long top with a 6 inch scalloped hem. Thank you!

[@bigslyrosie]

I like the way your direct and to the point.

[@MsCjmaxi]

Thank you for this video!! I had posted on your FB page asking how to finish the edges of a scalloped yolk for a shirt. This actually answers my question.

[@BratBustersParenting]

Very clever and demonstrated beautifully as always :).

[@sheejamanoj2782]

[@giaalvarado2063]

thank you for doing this one. I've seen a few other tutorials on it but yours are the best explained.

[@chinacarter8319]

This is soooooo easy to use, and I WILL be using it!!!

[@ariesradio]

I need to do this to my granddaughter’s skirt. Thank you for the tutorial!!

[@Reetie60480]

Great tutorial! I always wondered how to do scallops. But on a quilt edge.

[@deannajohnson3933]

Thank you! I'm going to try this on a thrifted skirt soon.

[@virginiaforrest976]

I was wondering how to make this for a crop top pattern I purchased. Thank you so much for these clear instructions!

[@deagoldylocks8337]

Thank you so much for this . It's made me so happy to see how scalloping is done, when I feared that it was impossible for me.

[@ProfessorPincushion]

you can do it!

[@deagoldylocks8337]

@@ProfessorPincushion I will do it 😀

[@beyuo08]

Very unusual hemline - thanks for sharing. x

[@Sherirose1]

You've solved my problem. Thank you.

Thank you!

[@farihamohamedhilmy4700]

You make it look easy

[@loiskubota9111]

Wow! Thanks so much! I’m not doing scallops but the hemline on a pattern I’m trying to finish isn’t straight. I think this will help

[@ireneawelanatibori5044]

this was so helpful! Thank you so much !

[@prinncesswade9800]

i didn't know it was this easy!

[@MsEri17]

I was wondering about this. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@appi0502]

U r fabulous teacher dear

[@rianamoi]

Amazing !!! thank you for this great tutorial. Bless you

[@louissealvarez6165]

Thanks so much! Great video! 😊

[@leggingsarepants3175]

I actually have this woven top that I'm not a huge fan of, so it might be the perfect piece for this!

[@ProfessorPincushion]

nice! I hope it works out for you. Please post a pic on our fb wall when you finish :)

[@yulagarciamuller62]

Thank you very much for sharing.

[@BeforeTheShipSank]

So helpful!

[@victoriaford6664]

can you please show this on how to do it on a quilt?

[@patriciamiller9759]

Wow, thank you!

[@isabellast.andrews2490]

Lovely! One question, will this work with flared skirts? Or does it need to be a straight hem?

[@iluvlaxx3]

great tutorial! thanks for sharing :)

[@hanavax]

im missing the total look, if we did this to a T-shirt how these it look like new?
i can guess we can use the same method for other, still the total look is missing

[@corpsehandler5321]

[@enukau]

can you do a video on how to hem a fully lined blouse? I am trying to make a blouse and can't figure it out.

[@xdlouolbx]

omg amazing

[@mumblesandwool1243]

how would you do this for shorts? im making a pair of scalloped shorts for my daughter. do i do the scallops before sewing the short's pieces together, or after?

[@SewCutesy]

They make a beautiful hem on shorts! I did a tutorial on it on a pair of thrifted shorts & I love them! Perfect for summer time!💕

[@phyllisblackford4944]

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I would do it at the end, when you would normally do the hem.

[@annaibarra3447]

Brilliant! 👌🏼

[@amysewz]

Great tutorial! What brand of fabric marker were you using?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

dritz, disappearing ink that vanishes after 48 hours

[@mohammadrabbanibaig5432]

wow 👌 idea ☺....

[@lacebird9548]

I would like to sew a scalloped hem with lace. Would it work though?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I don't think it'll look as well as lace tends to be see through and you're going to get multiple layers seen at the bottom. Instead, I would look for lace that has the scalloped edge already on the border. I just did a video on creating a lace hem here: czcams.com/video/rWwVziPOp1c/video.html

[@jenniferglapan]

wow!!

[@sonicfreak04]

does this work for gloves?

[@ProfessorPincushion]

I imagine so, but it's a small area to work with so it might be difficult

[@XberrycupcakesX]

Scallops could be more even and round, but overall great tutorial.
