Don't cut yet!! Can't remember the name of it, but there is a binding technique that you use two narrower strips sewn together and then used as if one piece. Not sure if it works with scallops, but check it out first before you cut something. Especially if you were thinking of cutting tonight. As I have found out many, many times, late at night: Things cut at night can't be put back together in the morning (or something like that, lol)
