Many folk find a problem getting a neat edge when in the hoop quilting so try this little trick of mine

find a nice short see through child’s rule, the six or four inch ones are great for this.
RIGHT HANDERS
Place the rule, next to the sew line and then fold the fabric back over the rule. this action will lift the fabric up a little and away from the hoop backing. hold the fabric down with left hand fingers. Now use the surface of the rule as a base and cut along the fabric with the scissors at a slight right angle to the rule. the scissor point stays on the rule and the sharpness of the scissors will allow you to slice through the fabric neatly and cleanly.
With a little practise you will soon get that nice 1/4 inch edge
LEFT HANDERS
Do the same thing as explained above but lay the rule against the sew line UNDER the fabric. This lifts the fabric up just that little and away from the backing Then with the fabric held down by the fingers on the right hand slide the point of the scissors along the top of the rule at a slight left hand angle.
In each case you can see clearly what you are doing.
TIP.... sew a straight stitch on scrap material and practise the folding back and cutting till you get the angle of the scissors just right to give you that 1/4 inch allowance.
also a nice big car sponge or a book can also be placed under the hoop to support the fabric in the hoop if its removed from the machine.
I hope this will help you. Annie in the UK
PS the word rule is correct. English teacher informed us in the UK class that " There is only one RULER and that is the Queen. The measuring device is a RULE. "
A sharp rap on the knuckles with a rule made sure I never ever forgot that one.
