I agree that the Linda Franz website is an awfully good place for instruction. I think the best advice I found was to pull the bias binding fairly tight as you do the inner points. Her instructions worked really well for me...especially stopping to eat a little chocolate as you go.

I have never done scallops, on the list! But I am thinking that it might work well to use some Elmer's to glue it down first. I do this for my borders and my bindings.

I agree with Judy. Slow as you go. I use the hair clips too but you want that perfect tuck so use a pin there. Good Luck !!
