Advanced decorative scallop and variations

By · · ~1 min

I’ve spent many years at the pillow and I still get excited explaining things like Advanced decorative scallop and variations. Here we go.

Repeat it three times before deciding you can’t. Finger memory needs its time If you fancy, I’ll leave Intermediate working plaits.

Take your time. Rushing bobbins always backfires. One row at a time, no peeking at others.

What you will need

You’ll need this, nothing more, nothing less:

  • Flat pillow.
  • Thread of suitable weight.
  • Practice pricking.
  • Loaded bobbins.

How I do it, step by step

Don’t skip any. Everything links in this craft:

  1. Review the basic crosses before starting.
  2. Follow the pricking step by step, no skips.
  3. Keep constant tempo through the piece.

Where it gets sticky

These are the stumbles I see most often:

  • Changing tempo mid-exercise.
  • Not marking the start.
  • Pulling too hard on the outer pair.

Variations

When you have it under control, try these:

  • Combine with other motifs for richness.
  • Document your version in the studio notebook.

That’s all, dear. If you have more questions, write to me through the form. And if you’d like to handle the materials before buying, Encaixe is open.

(This was translated between family lunches. They’ll fix it if I spot anything.)
