Do you cut the scallops before you quilt on the long arm or quilt it first then cut the scallops?

  Ruth1285,

  It would be up to you. 

  If you have a quilt that has straight lines, it is much easier to load and keep square and then cut the scallops after. 

  However, you can load with scallops but it is a little trickier.

  I was also looking for an answer on scalloped edges but if you quilt then cut doesn’t it compromise the stitches and your chances of the stitches coming out is greater?

  Patty,

  Trimming the scalloped edges would be the same as trimming a regular quilt after quilting. The binding will go over the cut off stitches.
