Scallop Edges
I am really interested in finishing my quilt with a scallop edge. What is the "favorite" way of doing this? How do you do the corners, with a scallop out or in? Thanks for all your help, really appreciate all the knowledge I have gained reading these messages.

I haven't ever done a scallop edged quilt but I have done rounded corners. I know, not the same thing!!! I did a quick google search and found this article here on the board: http://www.quiltingboard.com/resources/article-98.html

I think the scallop is almost always out at the corners. You have to plan it carefully so that you don't wind up with a weird shape there that doesn't look like it belongs with the rest of the quilt. Instead of binding, you can do a facing.

Hi. I'm new to the forum, but I did my first scalloped quilt this year. Believe it or not it was pretty easy. I recommend you follow the clear directions found in Quilting: The Complete Guide by Darlene Zimmerman; page 205 - 215. I was pretty nervous about it, but I bought some wide adding machine tape to draw my border on & double check my measurements. This I pinned to the border & stitched over to get the scallop down (like doing paper piecing) . I used Zimmerman's Easy Scallop tool (also comes with easy-to-understand directions) and the scallop was near perfect.

Jenny Doan at Missouri Star has a great video on YouTube showing how to use a special ruler to make scalloped edges. I immediately ordered one but haven't found the perfect quilt on which to use it.
