Latest Excitement!
I use the 45° angle on a small square ruler to get the angle for the miter. Works for me...LOL.
I was just trying to remember how to do this the other day. Great explination! Thanks!
Actually, I shouldn't just assume you are all woman. Sorry about that. Thanks everyone!
Thanks ladies. I'm anxious to try these techniques!
Another very nice technique, a tiny bit harder, but eliminates the hand stitching of the little miter folds, is this one :

Here is another tutorial for quilt bindings that shows the process to do the mitered corner. HTHs

Thanks Kay, I had forgotten how to do this! Easy explanation too!
Hi I'm not sure if I can explain this right but when I'm approaching a corner I sew straight to the edge, cut the thread. fold the next edge and pin and the corner should miter on it's own.. Hope this helps.
Profile Information
- About Me:
- Watched my mom sew since I was little. She was self-taught and could sew anything. She sewed for me through my teens. She learned how to tailor and would let me prep, pin and cut patterns.
Myself, I make Ancient Egyptian costumes, very simple stuff, cloaks, skirts and tunics. I was talked into getting a serger along with my sewing machine. I've serged some napkings and a table cloth.
My self, I want to learn how to better fit, sew and wear shirts, jackets, pants and coats for myself. And, do some sewing for my apartment.
- What type of sewing do you enjoy?
- garment, drapery, home decor
- What type(s) of sewing machine(s) do you have?
- I have a Pfaff Stretch n' Jeans machine. I have a Brother serger, which I have not used very much at all, but would like to become more comfortable with.
- What brand of patterns do you prefer?
- I know this sounds silly, but I think I would actually do better at making my own patterns. I know that preprinted patterns confuse me, with sizing and ease. I've gotten frustrated with them.

Diane said… - Dennis, welcome! patternreview.com has basic on line classes on anything from basic sewing to fitting and little special 'classes'. I have actually found things free on line like how to make a throw pillow and bed skirts. Sewing is my passion so I have started a sewing business. zippers, hems and mending. Some creative ideas I will market and I want to make use of my Baby Lock Embroidery Professional. All this so I can follow my passion! I do love to quilt, though.
