How to make a scallped edge on tulle?
I would like to make a simple drop-veil style wedding veil for myself (You can see an example at http://www.veilshop.com/Bridal-Veil-33504_p_17052-1246.html ), and I like the look of scalloped edges, but not a well-defined trim on the edge.
http://www.veilsbyroxanne.com/images/scallop-gathered.jpg shows scallops which look sewn (is this difficult? I do not have much sewing experience), but I am wondering also if it is possible to just cut the tulle's edge into the desired shape, and maybe accentuate it by adding a little bead embellishment at each of the points where it draws in, or something like that.
Anyone have any thoughts?
It looks to me like they cut a straight edge and then did small gathers. The edge is either serged or roll-hemmed (probably the latter). Then they measured every few inches and did a small gathering stitch to draw it up.
Trying to cut tulle into a good scalloped edge would probably drive you crazy, and the gathers would be a lot easier and uniform.
Gathering stitches are as simple as they get, and can be done by hand. Just run the needle in and out of the fabric a few times (probably about an inch for this project) and pull the two ends of the thread together and tie them securely.
