I can answer that for you, the pattern calls for it to be stiched to the baking and batting leaving an opening for turning and then you turn it right side out and then you can quilt as desired. I put a bias binding on mine as I like that finish better than turning it. I bought my pattern and ruler from www.callalilyquiltshop.biz you can get the 9 dgree ruler there also. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay
