I'm not new to sewing but have always had trouble with mitered corners. I have watched MANY tutorials on them and yours is by far the best and easiest to follow. Thank you so much!
Great demo! You patiently explained all the details, which are so important for a beginner, without skipping anything. Thanks a lot! I was searching for this, but did not know what it was called. My vintage machine just cannot handle the bulk on the corners when working with thicker fabrics. I have broken so many needles trying!
Love this. Thank you. I am new to sewing and have been having trouble with my corners (bias tape) on my pot holder projects. Tricky ! This helps tremendously. Love your nails, btw!
Professor, I love all your lessons and I have learned a lot. I know the following project isn't what you normally cover, Can you tell me how to cut the corners so I can make a Queen Size fitted sheet? I followed a demonstration and totally ruined my super cotton sheet. Do you think I could just cut in on an angle from the bottom corner of the sheet up to the top of the mattress, and just hem that? The last demo told me to cut 4 squares away, and the sheet became way too narrow, and too short. I could just cry! Thanks PP!
@@ProfessorPincushion Hi there! Thank you for responding. I feel so honored! I was thinking, why not put the flat sheet on the bed and pinch and then pin the corner sides first? Sew the seam!. I just don't understand why people are doing all this math, and then cutting a square out? I totally messed up a beautiful sheet of cotton. Thanks
Would either of the last two methods work with something bulkier like a throw blanket? I’ve tried the first method on another project and bent a needle
Professor Pincushion Thanks so much for the reply. And I think I’ll take your advice. I’ll leave a comment when I’m done and let you know what I end up doing and how it turns out
For those who ask the same question, the exact same principals apply. If you were sewing 60 degree corners, the miter would be half that, or 30 degrees.
Akiyah B I would overcast or serge the raw edges first (or use fraycheck). This will just keep the fraying from getting out of control while working with it. since the raw edges get tucked under, it should be fine once it's sewing in place and you shouldn't have any further fraying.

Please do a video on how to line the mitred corners..thanks I'm following you from Egypt
A very useful video for a novice.
Do these techniques work with pieces that aren’t perfectly square? Like one that is rectangular for a tablecloth?

Hmmm....I've never tried this before, but if I figure it out, I'll definitely do a tutorial on it.

@@ProfessorPincushion Please do do a tutorial for cutting and sewing a fitted sheet. It would be so useful to so many.
Momzilla, I feel your pain. Good fabric can be so expensive. Also, it really messes with your confidence, especially anyone who is just starting out.
This was helpful, I'll make nicer handkerchiefs, thanks for the great examples.
JUST what I needed!!!
Thank you so much. Very helpful!

for a blanket, I might use a blanket binding to finish the edges. You can find it in the same section as bias tape

what do i do if i am using a heavyweight fabric???
Thanks so much for these videos! Excellent!
You're welcome. Glad you liked them :)
Great tutorial
Do you have any methods for hemming corners that are wider than 90 degrees?
perfectpup3 hmmm... I might fold one side and then fold the other side. I don't think you'll be able to get a mitered corner in this case .
For those who ask the same question, the exact same principals apply. If you were sewing 60 degree corners, the miter would be half that, or 30 degrees.
Excellent tutorial .. thank you very much .
kareema khashab Thanks for the kind words :)

milenka Stocking So glad you found it helpful :)
which is the best method for materials that fray like satin?
Akiyah B I would overcast or serge the raw edges first (or use fraycheck). This will just keep the fraying from getting out of control while working with it. since the raw edges get tucked under, it should be fine once it's sewing in place and you shouldn't have any further fraying.
Thank you Professor!
Jenus Page You're very welcome :)
By the time you're done with me I'll be an expert!
That's what I like to hear :D
I agree, she is an excellent teacher and we can change over her lessons very easy.
Greetings from Germany.
How to measure for an oblong tablecloth
Professor Pincushion s
Excellent!
Just leave the half inch when sewing corner before turning so you can fold hem
Thanks! 🌸🌸
Wow! Thank you :)
I’m making a bandanna :)
When I'm making 200 serviettes.. there is no way I'm sewing the corners by hand
Ypu are amazing
Ronald Green thanks for the kind words
idk, personally hem folding is such a pain in the ass! so much work just for a napkin..
...take and... ...go ahead and...

These are NOT the best methods.
Could you provide the links for any better methods you may have come across.
Wow, that’s a very strong statement backed up by nothing.
thank you so much
thank you very much
