question for binding a scalloped quilt
Do you use a double fold binding on a scalloped edge quilt? I know you need bias binding but do you just use single fold or double fold. Thanks for any answers - I have never bound a curved edge quilt before.

Well I would say it depends on the size of the project myself. I would use a smaller one on the little table topper, or the larger on a quilt. The bias edges are the best to use on the scalloped so it will conform to the shapes. I use a double fold made on a clover bias tape maker for either project. I like the use of fabric prints or stripes rather than the store bought solids.

Thanks for the link and the tip! I "connect as I go" for all of my binding and have never had a problem with wrinkles. It all lies so flat!
Here is a tutorial I found to solve all my questions. Kinda lengthy but thorough. She has you proceed through the process step by step. baby steps! The best part for me was the instruction to not connect all the binding in the beginning. Connect as you go so the connected seams do not end up in the "vallies". That was a major concern for me. Just that one bit of advice was priceless.
