VIDEO: RUFFLED FLOWERS (INTERWEAVE; SUSAN WASINGER)

Back in the 'old' days, the ruffled edge seen on these flowers was used as a hem on knits...it was called a lettuce edge. Using it on strips cut from old wool sweaters results in the perfect edge for flowers. Do a bit of fiddling so that the zigzag stitch is the correct width to product a nicely rolled edge on the strips.
