Benartex Chloe Scallop the Outside Border • When finished quilting, lay the quilt flat on a cutting surface. • Scallop the edges by using the June Tailor Fancy Frame Ruler. Begin at the corners of the quilt. Lay the ruler so the 45º line is lined up with the mitered corner and the outside edge of the ruler is just in from the raw edge of the quilt. Draw a line along the outside edge of the first 9” scallop. • Move the ruler and position it adjacent to the first marking making sure that the 45º line is on the miter and draw an adjoining scallop. • Repeat for all 4 corners. • Measure from the end of one corner scallop to the beginning of the next corner scallop to determine how many 9” scallops can be placed. • Now draw in the remaining scallops “fudging” as necessary. • Cut the edge of the quilt in the scallop pattern following the drawn lines or using the edge of the ruler with a rotary cuter. Chloe Sew the mitered corners on the drawn line to create the mitered corner. Trim fabric to 1/4" and press seam open for a neater corner. Next, embroider the remaining designs on the pieced quilt top.
