Not sure whether this is the right place, but here are a few pics of me sewing the 'tail end' of a scroll. When I am about half an inch from the end, I tuck in the bit at the very end, then work bach towards where my last stitch was. My left thumb controls all that part while I get the last few stitches in.
Trim off the excess, if there is too much, you won't get it all tucked under, but do leave enough that you still have some to tuck out of the way

The next fold is ready to be tucked now

Almost all tucked now, so stitching is resumed towards the point. You might still have to adjust a little bit as you get nearer the point, but you are almost there.
