The scalloped design is on one end and is a cutting edge. You take a hammer or mallet and strike the tool on the fabric and it cuts it out. The tool has only one repeat of the pattern, so it's rather labour intensive. When I'm able to get back to the blog (it's far from finished) I'll post a picture of the tool.

With scissors or some kind of machine? The picture in the middle, the one with light blue fabric, how are those fabric edges made? With scissors or some kind of machine?

You've been missed. It looks like you've been incredibly busy. I adore the puffed/scalloped trim in the blue taffeta. It's absolutely gorgeous. I took a workshop on riding habits this weekend and am putting together a 1740's style habit out of green worsted wool with gold taffeta for the waistcoat and lining. It'll be fabulous if I manage to finish it...but I'm a bit worried about whether or not I understood all the instructions on how to finish draping the coat skirt, adding cuffs and collars, and completing the lining. We'll see how it goes. Welcome back! You’ve been missed. It looks like you’ve been incredibly busy. I adore the puffed/scalloped trim in the blue taffeta. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
