Thats a good idea Lesley. I was thinking though...I usually do the "sew to within about 10-12", then wrestle it in place, sew the binding together on the diagonal and then sew it to the quilt", so..you know when its just straight, its easy to figure out how long that section needs to be, but on the scallops..how will I do that? I'll have to go see if I can find a youtube maybe...
