How does someone so young get to be so smart and be such a great teacher?
Of all the video's I have watched she is by far the best teacher . I love she gets down to business and everything I have tried she has a video on comes out beautiful.
I just started sewing.
She's adorable too.
Thank you! You have explained and demonstrated mitered corners better than anyone!!!!!!!!!!
what a blessing I received toni8ght, finally finding someone that I connect to when you teach . im at the age where AARP has been looking for me for a while.lol. bought a brothers sewing machine years ago ,it was a daydreaming passion to be able to put the pedal to the metal whipping out projects like I do clients as a hair dresser for all these years ....NOPE...Wasnt happening I've been scared to death just looking at this machine ,then finding out I need a computer also O#G HOW IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN.i bought a Mac computer, geek squad, apple care , bartering computer lessons for hair cuts ..hasnt been the picture in my mind . I've been tubing sewing channels forever now which were only making it worse .....I stayed up all night watching you and I get you,,,,THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
You can totally do it. Just takes some time and practice! Go you!
Brilliant video.
I am a 70 year old bloke that enjoys using a sewing machine.
This is the best vid on mitred corners.
So clean and precise.
Thanks young lady.
So glad to hear this! Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thank you so much for your videos. Making napkins for my sweet DIL to go with a table runner for Christmas. This little tool is gold! I am not good at eyeballing and ironing a hem. Thank you so much too for your video Paper Piecing Made Easy. It rocked my "quilting skills" world.
Thanks,for sharing your "paper template measurements "& thanks,for getting straight to the point & for sharing your great sewing skills!
I have watched you forever since you first started your channel. I gotta say, you got a lot of fancy fathers since then , like your long arm and you got into a lot of quilting stuff. But I personally like your regular sewing and the baskets you make from clothes lines. Your tricks are clear and I have learned a lot but I like the fast and easy stuff you do best. Your a great teacher. But, a lot of us can’t afford the fancy stuff. Please keep that in mind. Love your work.
OMG! That hem guide you had makes SO much sense, and I've never seen one before...I've been sewing for 50 years...where have you been!? Where have I been?! Thank you for this great tutorial.
I know right, I have been sewing for 5 years and never seen one before.
Agreed! So smart
Exactly. never seen this method. Butwill start now. Thank you
Absolutely the best tutorial I've seen on mitered napkin corners. THANKS!
I've been sewing for 50 years, this is the best mitered corners I've ever seen. Love your paper template too. BRILLIANT!!!
Been making napkins for ten years, but learned a lot from this very well done video. Excellent teaching and I like the speeded up parts that needed to be.
that made my task of making of daughters napkins for her wedding soooo much easier. thank you
Excellent instruction! I’ve been sewing for over 60 yrs and have never seen your clever folding guide. Great idea. Thank you!
Here is what I love about you and your videos. Some people make things so difficult and you make it understandable and easy!!! THANK YOU
You are a very detailed teacher. I thought I was doing pretty good, but you are awesome!
I've never heard of a hem guide and I've been sewing for 30 years! What a great idea!
This tutorial is the best and most easily understood one on mitered corners that I have ever seen! I'm off to make a set of napkins for a Christmas gift. I absolutely love your tutorials because you make everything so clear. Thanks!
Wow, so happy I found you !!! I am a Brand-new Newby... and so far I haven't found ANYBODY who explains the folds, hems.. Mitered Corner's..etc as wonderfully and plain, to the point as yourself.. Thanks so Much ... I am for certain going to subscribe.. Keep them coming !!!
LOL. I have been sewing for over 45 years and have never been able to do a really good mitered corner. UNTILL today. I was doing a little happy dance after I got it. Good job well done!!!
Thank you for clear, simple, step by step instructions.
Thank-you so much! I used this method way back when I was in Junior High School (I'm 70 now), but had forgotten exactly how I did it. Of course, they were hand sewn back then. Thanks for the fond memories! BTW ... looks beautiful and thank-you for your time and sharing your knowledge.
This is the best explanation and illustration for making metered corners! Thank you!
You're a very good teacher! I could see what you were doing right away. You made it so clear to me.
Thank you so much for your video tutorials. You have a wonderful way of connecting with an audience. Teaching is an art, and you obviously are gifted with it.
I love you’re videos, I been sewing for 20 years, things that I remembered from my mom, then finally I got my sewing machine from Walmart, simple basic, i started sewing and making winter hats , skirts, shorts, and design my own, you inspire me so much. Im working on my placemats.
Nice video. Didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but you are a good teacher.
I am fairly new to sewing, your mitered corners are the easiest to follow of any I have seen so far!!! Thank you!!! Subscribing
Thank you for your wonderful mitered napkin tutorial. You are a great teacher.
I too have been sewing for over 50 years, and highly recommend this video. Very clear and excellent tips!!
Just gave up on another tutorial 🙃, and thought...I wonder if Crafty Gemini has a tutorial on this. Voila. I appreciate everyone that takes time to share, but my oh my...what a difference tgere is when one explains extremely clearly and zooms in for clear views. Thank you. Christmas Eve napkins will come out just fine 🧡
I have viewed other mitering videos and even tried them...but yours...by far..is the best and comes out beautifully. Thank you so much!!
Vanessa, thank you so much for an easy tutorial for mitered corners! Thanks to you, I was able to finish my grandson’s quilt and two receiving blankets without fear. For some reason, none of the other videos CLICKED for me, and your instructions were sooo much easier to understand without all the grid lines to be marked. Thanks a million!
Thank you for your clear and easy to follow instructions. You make a greaat teacher!
Omg. That seam guide is the best idea. Something so simple but makes everything easier. Why didn’t I think of that?!? Amazing!
I am new to sewing and I am making napkins and a tablecloth for my granddaughter. I only had to watch your video to learn how to do the corners. You explained things very well and the pace was just right. Also no horrible music (noise) which can be bothersome. Thank you!!! Now back to my little sewing project.
This is the easiest and best tutorial on mitered corners. Thank you for taking the time to clearly explain all the steps!
That hem guide is genius! And you're telling me I can use Elmer's glue to baste the corners? Life-changer. You're a terrific teacher. Thank you and keep it up.
I found your video for fuseable appliques today....WOWY WOW!! I kept watching your videos and loved them!! You make them all very simple and easy to understand!! I saw your cupcake pad and my brain exploded because I work at a farm/ farm brewery and these would be perfect for us...with different foods of course. Thank you so much for making a seemingly daunting world of quilting so easy!! May God bless you in your continued success!!
I MADE THE HEM GUIDE AND IT HELP ME A LOT WITH MAKING STRIPES AND HEM FOR PANTS ETC...... THANK U SO MUCH CRAFTY GEMINI.
thanks for your sewing expertise. My family and I exclusively use cloth napkins. They make great housewarming and holiday gifts. Love your corner technique. When you cut the triangle of fabric off the corner, you could use it as a template for the other 3 corners. I have subscribed to your channel to use your quilting techniques. Thanks again for sharing!
I just love your tutorials! You're instructions are complete, your video is clear and easy to follow. I'm learning so much from you. I grew up sewing, but haven't sewn in years, so I have a lot of skills to get back, like this mitered corner one! And your pillowcase tutorial was my "GO TO" and made several for my grandkids and my customers! I do machine embroidery, but basic sewing is lacking! Thank you so much for how great you are as a teacher!
Love this tutorial, my napkins are turning out GREAT!!! Thank you!
This is probably the best explanation and demonstration for making mitered corners. Especially for crafts. I need a nicely made fabric rectangle (17" x 4") with a nice edge to sew onto a football jersey. The letters will go on this rectangle. I am going to use this technique to make the rectangle. Excellent. Glad I stumbled onto this video.
You're a natural teacher. Love your tutorials!
Love it!!! I have been sewing for a long long time and this is the first time I saw a simple miter corner. Great idea
I love all your tutorials! You take the time to explain everything so clearly all your efforts for us is so appreciated! Thank you so much.
You explain things in such a simple manner. I love the way the mitered corners look.
I will definitely use this on my napkins. Thanks for the tutorial
Great tutorial! I have struggled to make neat mitered corners on napkins, it has finally clicked!
Glad to help! Happy sewing!
One of the best tutorials I have ever seen. She "tells" you and "shows" you every step with great close-up camera work. Great presentation. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your talents and skills. You are a WONDERFUL teacher!!! 🤗
What a useful tutorial and boy! am I going to get going as I have lot's of materials I could use and now you have shown us how to do these professional looking mitred corners I am going to make lot's of gifts for family and friends. Thank you for sharing
That seam guide is amazing! Your brilliance amazes me every time:)
Just love your 'hemming guide', Vanessa! Creative and utilitarian addition to your sewing 'stash', and easier/more consistent to use than a ruler or measuring tape. As always, thank you for sharing with all your informative tutorials.
What a clever idea the "manila envelope measuring system" is! Thank you.
THANK YOU!! I have watched too many videos to do the corners and this was the BEST! The most simple and clear instruction's out there! Only wish I would have found this sooner!
I can’t believe I just found this video. So sensible. Your tutorials are always well done and easy to follow! Thank you!
I really appreciate your patient attention to every detail. Thank you for sharing really good techniques for making the best cloth napkins!
Thank you for this!! I've been looking everywhere for a clear tutorial on how to do this!! I am so excited to make my own cloth napkins!!
Your video tutorials are the best! Your instruction is very detailed making it easy to understand. You are my "go to" for all sewing projects. Keep them coming!
Thank you so much Vanessa! I love your tutorial and your napkins!
A great instructional video, my mitered corners are just right now. Thank you!
Thank you! This is the best tutorial for mitered corners. I finally understand how to do it!! :)
That hem guide is genius! I think your video is the best video I've seen on making mitered napkins.
What a simple way to use my fat quarters for gifts. You are a great teacher. Thanks for all the wonderful videos
This was an excellent tutorial. Crisp, clean, professional presentation. I also learned about basting glue - great for doing all the prep work in advance for sewing with kids. Thanks!
You’re amazing, the best teacher. I hated the measuring tutorials. Trying it now on a table cloth, thanks so much.
I'm new to sewing and every time I start a project I realize I need a tool I don't have. Your hem guide is perfect! I don't have to buy it and you can iron it! So much love for you right now lol thank you!
I have been watching your video tutorials over the years & you never cease to amaze me with your creativeness. Bravo!!!
I am diving back into sewing after a loooong time away. Your tutorial was just what I needed to get started!
Love the ideas of the temples. I would have never thought of this. Perfect demo easy to follow. Thank you so much. Getting ready to make napkins to use on deck when having a summer dinner
Thank you so much, now my napkins will be consistent!!! I'm so happy you made this video. You are a gem!
Thank you! You are a great enthusiastic teacher.
WOW you are such a good instructor.!!!!! I'd watched another tutorial before and I was like I don't get it. This one is PERFECT!!!!
Thanks so much.
I really liked this tutorial. It is very informative and easy to follow. You obviously love what you're doing, and it shows. Your enthusiasm and expertise is contagious! Thank-you!
OMG that hem guide is so clever! What a game changer! Thank you!
Thank you for this video! Our Christmas presents are going to be a hit! I love the way you clearly describe the process. I’ll definitely be back for more sewing advice!
Great tutorial. So easy to follow and napkins have perfectly mitered corners. Yay!
Thank you! You are a great teacher. I’m saving the video for future reference. I’m looking forward to exploring other video tutorials you’ve made.
Wow best video on hemming. The hem guide makes it so easy. Thanks
This was my first sewing project. Thank you so much for making it a wonderful experience!
Searched for a video for napkins. This is just the tutorial I needed. Thanks.
Thank you sooooo much for teaching me how to miter the corners of a cloth napkin.
Well! I am a very new sewer, and I thought this might be easy to do. Watched a couple of others about the mitred corners, but THIS one made sense! You've given me confidence to have a go. And I don't need all the gear that I would have needed for the others. Thank you!
Terrific tutorial! So clear and easy to understand. I'll be making my first ever cloth napkins with mitered corners this coming weekend. I now feel confident I can do this, even as a beginner sewer. Thank you.
Your hem guide idea (the manilla folder paper with lines drawn for hems) is brilliant! Thanks also for telling what kind of fabric to use.
Excellent tutorial making professional looking napkins look So simple & easy to understand, thanks Vanessa! LOVE the idea of using different FQ from the same fabric line - simple brilliance! ♡
These older tutorials are so nice, before you started interrupting yourself by saying hello to everyone around the globe. Just saying... I enjoy these older ones a lot more and they're a lot faster too. :)
Best napkin tutorial out there!!
Thanks for sharing your skills!! I've been sewing for years but learn something new with each of your videos
You are a natural, my unmet friend. I feel empowered! And thanks for speeding it up in places. Sometimes it's painful to watch and wait for the next step, but you took care of even that. I'm feeling pretty good about my napkins! Thank you thank you!
I want to thank you - you helped me alot. I needed to know the mitered corner for blankets for my nephew, and another video I saw used a tool with a 45 degree angle, well I didn't have that tool, then I found your video which worked great for me, perfect corners, blankets done. Thank you so much!
Clear and precise instructions...the best tutorial on mitered corners! ❤
Sure glad I found your tutorials. They are so clear and to the point, giving all relavent information I think I’ll need.
The camera work is top notch too. I could clearly see everything you were doing - a problem I found with other tutorials were when they got to the corners, but this video was so clear and you marked it out so well.
Thank you for sharing.
Can’t wait to make these as my first sewing project.
Hi I love your tutorial. This is soooo good.You can’t beat a good teacher. Thank you very much
As a beginner sewer, this made SO much sense to me! Great description and video. I'd watched a few others on mitering corners and I really screwed things up. Here's to trying again! Thanks go much!
I love your video. I have watched it a number of times so that I can get the technique just right. Thank you !!
I love your tutorials! You are so professional and thorough! Very helpful!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been sewing from utero, but have never experienced the frustration of making miter corners on the napkins! I knew there had to be a better way....and Voila!! You appeared with your magic template. I am so happy! Doing my happy dance right now.
Thank you! You are a good teacher. I love the way you explain things. God bless you. Keep the good works up.
This is the best tutorial for making mitered corners!
