I am with luvTooQuilt on the freezer paper because you can fold the strip of paper until you get the right size scallop for you current project. Just fold the paper strip in half and keep folding until you come out with the perfect size of each scallop. Press on your project/stitch/then trim, that will keep it all stable doing the curves.

Why anyone would do it that way when there are rulers available that make it so much easier. I used my large circle Go die to circles, cut those in half and sewed them to a border strip. That was even easier!

I did one quilt with a scalloped edge. I used freezer paper, folded it multiple times to fit the size scallops I wanted and ironed it to the edge of my quilt and then cut the scallops. I'm sure this isn't the best way to describe it but it worked for me.

1. get a long piece of cardboard and draw a straight line across it
2. mark two sides of a lunch plate depending on how deep you want the scallops
3. Line up the marks on the plate with the line on the cardboard and trace.
4. Cut out and use as your template.

I also bought one from Missouri Star Quilt Co. I saw her Youtube video and had to have it. It takes out all the math. It's so easy and simple to do. It didn't cost very much. In fact, I accidentally bought two and sent one to a gal on this quilting board.

Eleanor Burn's scallop edge ruler will make any size scallop and will do the wave. Very easy to use...
