Scalloped border/binding help, please
 

I saw a tutorial (not necessarily here on the board) of a method of binding a scalloped border by sewing a line at 1/4" around the scallops and clipping the "ditches" to the "seam". You then layed the bias binding on and sewed it while straightening out the border at the clipped parts and sewing straight along. this was a video.

Does anybody else remember seeing it? (as others have found, I swear I bookmarked it!)
ready to finish the borders for my Jane Stickle!

try looking for it on youtube
I did scallops and did an inside corner on it. use bias if pulling straight.

youtube has all the answers, to me.

Thanks lynnie, I did and did and did! I'm sure that's where I found it, but can't find now. Any idea of the name of it? Sounds like what you did!

This isn't a tutorial, but a concise explanation of how to bind scallops.
Good luck! Ann

i know that i've seen what you are looking for but cannot find it.
these two links show the technique you are looking for. but they don't have the 1/4" seam sewn first... they just clip within the 1/4". i wasn't getting any results until i entered the term 'inside corners' to the search.

hmmmm, krafty, you beat me to the one link :)

If you're going to cut the scallops before attaching the binding, I would definitely sew the 1/4" seam to stabilize the raw edge first. Once you cut scallops, you've got bias everywhere.

Kitsie, I followed Linda Franz's tutorial when I attached the binding to my Dear Jane. It's not a video, but a good step-by-step tutorial. She gives some great tips, too -- especially on how to avoid seams in the scallop dips or "innies". http://lindafranz.com/section/scallops/38

Thanks you all! Krafty14 & QuiltnNan, thanks. I realized its not only for scallops and also that it is easy enough to figure out! Now to make the continuous bias and mark the quilt! (Lots of tutes for those, too!)

I knew I had saved a tutorial on scallops. Think I found what you want from one of my favorite bloggers/designer. Click on the link above for Ankastreasures and click on February 17,2012 in the right hand column. Great tutorial!

Missouri star quilt company has a good tutorial on scallops

My grandmother would draw her scallops onto her fabric border with a chalk pencil (using a handmade cardboard cutout stencil). She then stitched on the line she drew and after that cut the 1/4" past the stitching.
That way no stretching or pulling can occur on the bias.
Then sew on your bias cut binding.

I have always hand sewn the back of the binding by hand to get everything correctly position. It is NOT as difficult as it seems. Just the pivot point is important. Use a pin if it helps. Before cutting the scallops, I did a small stitch 1/8" inside the cut line. With all that bias edge binding, you don't want the quilt edges getting wonky on you.

I found a tutorial I had saved. We want pictures when you are finished!

I just noticed your post. A few years ago I did a scalloped edge...my first, and it turned out beautifully. I read instructions posted by Linda Franz. They were excellent and included a few chocolate breaks to boot!!

Thanks, Beth! I really like her tutorial! Lots of good points on this one, too!

Thank you all! Now I've seen how to measure and mark the scallops, how to make a continuous bias binding and how to sew it on! Love how we all come through for each other! :) Will certainly post pictures!

Yep Youtube is a great resource! Judy Niemeyer has a good binding tutorial also for inside seams.

For some reason I cannot get the website to show but the name of it is: How to Bind any Angle with Terry Atkinson.

It isa free video a little over 4 minutes long. I bookmarked it a while back so I can do into it but is doesn't give me the website.
