Binding Scalloped Edges Tips
by Darlene Zimmerman
  • Mark scalloped edge on a quilt but DO NOT cut on that edge until the binding is sewn on. If the edge is cut before binding you risk stretching and fraying of the scallops.
  • Baste along the marked edge. This will hold layers together and keep them from shifting while binding.
  • Always use a bias binding to bind curved or scalloped edges. A single bias binding cut at 1 1/4" is best. (Wrights Wide Single Fold Bias Tape is the right size and comes in many easy to match colors!) A double binding is too bulky at the inside corner of the scallop.
  • To make a softly rounded corner, start marking the quilt edge with Easy Scallop positioned right to the adjacent edge. To make a pointed corner or "ear", begin with half of scallop at the corner.
  • A scalloped edge can take an ordinary quilt and make it extra-ordinary!
