The first one explains the best I think

I have the Quilt In A Day scallops/vines ruler love love it....

I have it too. It is the easy way to calculate the width of your scallop. Here is a MSQC video on this ruler: http://quiltingtutorials.com/all/scalloped-edge-quilt/

I've always measured the sides of the quilt, cut freezer paper to this length, ( I fold & cut the freezer paper into 6" wide strips) then I fold the long strip - accordion style - over & over until I have the size scallop I want. Draw the curve, cut it out- unfold -- you have a row of scallops that fits the side of your quilt. You can iron the freezer paper onto the quilt to cut or mark your scalps. you need to figure out how you want your corners to round & finangle the lengths, corners.

When I did the scallops on my Dear Jane quilt I found this site very useful.
When you open the first page - at the bottom - it says " if you wish to proceed -
