This stitch uses blanket stitch for an embossed filling of the scallop shape. A series of such shaped blanket stitch scallops can be used to cover a larger area of the pattern. A series of continuous and adjacent scallops can be made to make beautiful fabric edgings. Refer to blanket stitch scallops for an idea.
You need to know the running stitch and the blanket stitch to be able to understand thsi tutorial.

I just found your site. I love the pictures and how easily you explain things. I’m excited to do more embroidery using more stitches (I know maybe 10 simple ones). Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for posting these wonderful tutorials! My mom tells me that my great grandmom, Clara, embroidered frequently, in addition to sewing all of the family’s clothes. I have learned to sew and now would love to learn to embroider. Your site is inspirational and the stitches are very clearly explained, so that it seems, with practice, I could learn a lot from you. Thank you, Sarah!
