   This sounds really interesting. Can you eliminate the batting from the last half inch before you do the scalloping?

   I will try to remove the batting and see how that works with a tearaway stablizer.  I will let you know how it worked.

   Why not use a bias trim to cover the scallops? That is if you have enough of the fabric left over to do this.  If you don't have enough of one fabric it may even look good if you pieced several of the fabrics together to get a striped effect or something larger like a color blocked edge.  I hope this helps and hope you will post some pictures when you have it done.

   It sounds lovely. I would bind the edge into scallops or perhaps you could create a new edge with two layers of silk cut on the cross and extending beyond the edge of the batting and then use you machine to do embroidered scallops along the raw edges..
