How to Make a Scalloped Edge on a Quilt

[@suewinter3693]

LOVELOVELOVE Jenny Doan! And how she said, "I'm not French, you know," without cracking up is beyond me.

[@LR-zf8tz]

I have just started quilting and have been looking at tutorials on KZbin, but since finding your site, I have found you to be the best teacher I've seen! I love your positive "you can do it" attitude, and your explanations and camera close-ups are SO helpful! Thank you so much for offering these tutorials free for us newbies!! Since finding you on the web, I have placed several orders from your site and LOVE the quality of the products and the FAST service! Thank you!

[@lanegardnerallen7555]

I just started following you, Jenny, in 2020. You are the best teacher! I want to put a scalloped edge on a baby quilt I'm making! And here you are! Perfect! This video is 11 years old and it's so much fun to see you way back when. I can see the resemblance between you and Natalie! Thank you!

[@lunarangel007]

I thought scalloped edges would be beyond my ability as a beginner. Your video explains it so well that I think I will try it on my next project. Scalloped edges are no longer scary! Thank you so much!

[@GrannaMaggie]

The scalloped edges gives such a nice finish for girly quilts--will be doing that for some of my charity quilts for our local children's hospital! Jenny, you are the BEST! Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge!!!!

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Truly wonderful tutorial!!! I've never finished a quilt (quite a few WIP spanning 20 years, LOL) so this part was a mystery to me and I had no idea how it could be done. Just great! Thank you very much.

[@HRHDMKYT]

It's great to know that the special ruler comes with an instruction booklet. And this one seems to be very helpful for the technique. Jenny, you make it look so possible to do... and the result is so polished and fancy! Thanks for all of your tutorials!!

[@ellymaehaverstick9671]

Jenny I have learned so much from watching your tutorials. Im a MSQC self taught quilter...lol. Ive only been sewing/quilting for 2 years but Ive learned so much and enjoy you guys so much. very easy to follow and am excited to try this technique! Thankyou so much!

[@LHTansil]

I've owned this ruler for years, but been afraid to use it. You made it look so easy. You are such a good teacher. I'm going to use it on the top I'm finishing today. Thank you so much. I love your videos and have bought tools from your site when I need things to help say thanks in a tangible way.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

So glad they help Doreen!! Thanks for the kind note!!

[@mikialafd0715yt12]

I too go right to Jenny's tutorials when I need help with quilting. I'm pretty new to the quilt world and knowing Jenny's there when I need her, truly boosted my confidence!

[@tubeconch7335]

Just want JENNY to know that I think she is wonderful. So friendly, speaks to clearly and she is FUNNY!!! Excellent tutorial and excellently transmitted by Jenny. A real treat, thank you!!!

[@lynnealexander1981]

I too LOVE your tutorials, your sense of humor and your teaching style! I got the featured template to make a scalloped edge on a baby quilt I recently finished and just about tore my hair out trying to get the MATH and the actual edge to match perfectly! I even cut the quilt down to make the math work; remeasured, deducted my 4 inches, used the booklet and STILL had to "adjust" my scallops. I finally made beautiful scallops! Now on to your continuous edge binding video to finish my quilt!

[@marshablackmore3244]

You're right, you did take the mystery out of it. Whahuuuuu! I Have wanted to do a scallop on some of my quilts so much and NOW I can. Thank you Angel Jenny!

[@tonigibbs8912]

Jenny you are a legend. I love your tutorials. Whenever I get stuck on or need to know something about a quilting project I know all I have to do is look it up on MSQC and you'll have it covered. Many, many thanks for sharing your wealth of information, I hope you never retire (very selfish of me, I know, but what would we do without you).

[@janejthomas]

I have said it before, but it bears repeating...you are a fantastic teacher and it is so helpful to see you repeat a step several times. Thank you sooooooo much.

[@cindy42155]

I just got this ruler. You are right it does have step by step instructions but I am very visual and your videos are great. I have gotten several tools from you and I love how you show us how to use them. Thank you.

[@ElvieMe]

Thank you for such a clear video 'teaching' and showing us how to make a scalloped edge on a quilt. I always thought that this would be a much harder finish to a quilt. Now I know it's easy to do!

[@barbarahuston9389]

I am going to buy this ruler!! I have shied away from scalloped edges cuz I thought they would be too hard. Very very cool!

[@lowec315]

I agree. Jenny speaks clearly and is funny. Waiting for new tutorials!!! Love them.

[@CassTheCoolest]

I love Jenny's tuturials. When I'm searching for instructions, I jump straight on hers first if I find a relevant one. The French sounded convincing enough to me, I'm Aussie haha. Lucky I checked this out before cutting any binding - I probably would have cut on the grain out of habit! Thanks for your contribution, I'll be watching this again and again to complete the binding of the quilt I'm making for my first child due Feb 2011 :-D

[@kathybowser1001]

I, too, look at your tutorials first when I need information on a quilting question. You are so informative and I love, love, love your sense of humor AND enjoyment of what you are doing! Keep it up!

[@JeniHubb]

I agree with the previous comment. Your tutorials have taught me SO much. I am also a newbie to quilting. THANK YOU!!!!!! The scalloped tutorial is so well done, your explanation on each step is very helpful and easy to follow. I love that I can learn and follow your tutorials and not have to say, "Wait, what did she just do? I don't understand." You truly make quilting fun and easy to learn!

[@patsheeler7658]

My go to tutorial is always MSQ but Quilt in a Day shows very good technics for flat laying pieces as well as this is her ruler! Love the tutorials!

[@TheJanluna]

Jenny, Bridgett is correct. You ARE a rock star!!!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

[@repronurse]

Jenny, I'm recovering from foot surgery, and have to sit with my foot elevated. I found your tutorials yesterday and can't stop watching them! They are like potato chips, can't stop with just one. I feel like I've been at a workshop the last couple days. Thanks so much for all the info. I am from Ohio and would love to come to your shop someday.

[@catsprotectbananas66]

That is soe awesome. Thank you for showing how to do an inside corner like that. I love the scallops and odd edges on some quilts but putting on binding easily for those is tricky. Thank you for showing how easy it can be.

[@wayfarinstranger2444]

Thank you thank you! I love scalloped edges and now I think I can actually do it after watching you! You took the mystery out for sure and now it looks doable! Love it :)

[@barbaramckenzie326]

I love this tool - used it on a beautiful baby quilt. Per Eleanor Burns' suggestions, I didn't cut the scallop away until after I had stitched on the binding - just lined it up with the marks. Worked beautifully!

[@shannonmintenko311]

I am so glad that I watched this video before starting my scalloped border and binding! So many good tips. I'm off to buy the right tool and now that I know, wait until the quilting is done before I trim the border! Thanks

[@franceswilson2333]

Thank so so very much for sharing the scallop quilt...you truly are a gem. I would have never thought I'd be able to do that...however after watching your tutorial I'm going to give it a try. Your demos are so easy to comprehend and follow. A huge Thank YOU!

[@TheDiana4527]

Your tutorial on scalloped edges is fantastic!!! I'm making placemats and wanted to make scalloped edges. I will definitely get this scalloped ruler. Thank you for your video.

[@carlasteele7533]

I always love watching Jenny's quilt tutorials! She makes everything sound simple. The only thing I've not been able to catch on to is the binding tool! But I have made many of her quilts...awesome!

[@tonyalucz7226]

I love all of your tutorials/videos!!!!!! This video on how to make a Scalloped Quilt is my favorite! I absolutely love anything with Scalloped edges/trims! I also love that you take people who are HOH (Hard Of Hearing) like I am & Deaf in consideration by having your videos Closed Captioned. ☺ You do such beautiful job on all of your projects!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

+tonya lucz So glad you were able to benefit from the closed captioning! Please let us know if you have any questions along the way! Thank you for watching!

[@SnuzyPete]

I love this tutorial. I have always thought that a scalloped edge looked so pretty and feminine and I THOUGHT difficult to achieve. But, as you show in this tute, it appears to be quite easy to do. Thanks, so much, Jenny for brushing away all the fear and what I thought was difficult aspect to a gorgeous quilt. I actually believe I can do this now. THANKS, AGAIN! Happy Quilting...

[@bremer516]

Great tutorial! I have wanted to do a scalloped edge, but was intimidated by it - but now I'm anxious to give it a try. Thanks!

[@sewandsow]

I have admired scalloped borders for a long time. I think I can do one now!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you.

[@SJUV1]

The tip of making a picket before folding bias loved it! Thank you!

[@jdmarr2259]

It looked intimidating, but as ever, Jenny Doan shows & explains in a way that makes it doable. Thank you!!!

[@janetrschreiner2321]

I am going to order that ruler today...what a simple way to make a beautiful border...thank you so much!

[@gingerjohnson5762]

[@triciatheodore8683]

What a great tool to have for me supply of temples. I thought I would never be able to do scallops.

[@marionbartley214]

I love this ruler I'm going to buy one!!! I love scalloped edges on a quilt. But never knew how to do it until now. Thank you so much Jenny, for this video. Making scalloped edges so easy.

[@choosejoy3]

Thanks, Jenny. You make it look possible for a newbie like me. Your up-close camera is perfect. It shows those small details that are really necessary for me. Thanks again, arcadia-ro.

[@ozziemyman]

I was nervous about ever trying this, but after watching this tutorial, I CAN DO IT!! Thanks so much Jenny for another AWESOME lesson!!!

[@JackieFrankie1]

I have always wanted to do this to a quilt. You have made me understand so much better

[@luannapierce2544]

Jenny, loving all your tutorials!! Just got this tool from the website last night. Thank you for your kind and generous spirit and for you following your passion and igniting a love of life in so many people through quilting and making it easier with your enthusiasm.

[@rhodamackenzie1]

Jenny makes everything look so easy! Thanks for the tips on the technique for a scalloped edge on my quilt. I was afraid to try this on my own, but Jenny's tutorial gave me the confidence to try this myself. The results were amazing. Thank you, Jenny!

[@hawaiianstylerocky]

*mindlessly happy dancing* YES!!! I can do it! Thank you SO much Jenny! I'm a total Quiltaholic b/c of you! You make everything SO easy for me! *HUGS* and plenny Alohas, Bridgette, your BIGGEST FAN! *happy hula dancing away*!

[@SmittenKitten.]

Oh, scallops are wonderful!! I wish you had used the red fabric from your quilt for the binding to really show off those gorgeously adorable scalloped edges!! Prettttty!!

[@annilu100]

I just love your tutorials and whenever I happen to have a question concerning quilts and quilting these tutorials are my very first address to search for answers! Thanks an lot!

[@heatherjohnstone1700]

I live way down under and am a newbie with quilting, l always enjoy your tutorials and shall now give it a go to do a scalloped edge. Thank you so much,, heather

[@luckylindy333]

Thanks very much, I think I can do this now! It seems so easy, as you don't have to miter every corner.

[@sandytremblay7793]

Jenny, your videos are my absolute favorite ! I feel like I can do this scalloped border.I finished a quilt from a block that I learned from you,and now I will watch this video over and over again until I can do it on my own quilt.I will buy the ruler from you guys. sandy

[@carolinepitzer]

I just got convinced that I need this ruler! I am still working on my wishlist, but you will definately hear from me ;-) Always go to your tutorials if I forgot e.g. how to finish the machine binding :-)

[@lindamyers3410]

Missouri star site was more descriptive than Quilt in a Day utube . I was able to follow Jenny more easily. Thanks Glad you are out there , I had a quilt to finish today.

[@julierodts8467]

That was awesome! I am brand new to quilting and have been afraid to make scallops but you make all of your tutorials so easy to follow. Thank you for all of your tutorials, I am a and avid quilt nut now!

[@Eliot4176]

You are inspiring me from my dark place in my mind to discover the true joy to be found in quilting. Thanks so very much.

[@nkha23]

You are an absolute blessing to the quilting community! Thank you for another easy-to-follow tutorial.

[@ljwaldron]

Beautiful, thanks for taking the mystery out of scalloped edges AND bias binding! 2 for 1...

[@annmccaz]

A great go-to quilt for quick and easy results. It looks good scrappy or planned. Can't wait to get started.

[@brendaackerman2342]

I would like to Thank You so much for doing this video tutorial. I am piecing a Double Wedding Ring quilt at this time and am/was very nervous about the binding. After watching your video, I really think I can do it. So again Thank You and every one involved in making your videos they are fantastically helpful!

[@jeriniksich659]

I just want to give Kudo's to your camera personnel, they are great at getting close ups of the intricate parts that would otherwise be confusing so...Hat's off to you people behind the cameras!!

[@imaginillyar3572]

Yes - this! So many other tutorials I can't really see what the person is actually doing. Jenny's explanations are great but the close-ups on the detail work really help a lot.

[@bonniefogg1095]

Jenny, This tutorial is wonderful. I was able to mark and cut the scallops without any problems. I used the continuous binding method and was able to attach the binding but had a difficult time finishing the ends. Is there a special trick, something different from finishing regular binding? It is probably just me. I will have to make another quilt and attempt the scallop edge again. Thank you for your teaching. I am addicted to your tutorials.

[@angiewolgamott8771]

Great video! I have the ruler but have not tried a scalloped border yet. I think I am ready to try one now! Thanks so much for the tutorials, they are very helpful!

[@neh214]

Very helpful. I feel apprehensive about altering a vintage piece but In it’s current condition it’s unusable. I’ve also always hand stitched previous quilts so this will be so quick I’m giddy!

[@lisaflick5152]

Thanks for a wonderful tutorial. I've never scalloped an edge but I want to for my new granddaughter's that is due in Oct. I put this video on pause and ordered one of those templates. I can't wait to do this!

[@kellylebarre4758]

I’m designing a quilt pattern and wanted that special extra touch. I haven’t tried this yet and will incorporate it into the pattern

[@KimPhilibert1203]

I absolutely LOVE ALL your videos. I haven't quilted in many years & have just gotten back into it. YOU have made my quilting time just wonderful. I watch them and get some fantastic ideas from you. You make quilting easy for those of us who use to think it was difficult! I can't thank you enough. I just wish I could find the "big flower" design I once saw on the end of one of the videos. PLEASE keep doing what you do ! Thank you MSQC

[@zenmama4991]

Ohhh excellent! So excited to do this. Must have ruler!!!

[@lance3665]

I ordered this ruler and I love it. The KZbin and the book made it easy . Thank you so much.
