Thanks for all your help. SnipForFun, I have joined the Yahoo group and will look for the serpentine stitch thread. I like the result that it gave Gale. I will also check out Tartan's technique. And JanTx's scallop is very pretty and certainly an option. It's interesting that a machine with all the bells and whistles of the 6600 doesn't have that particular stitch. Thank you, thank you.
