Tutorial on mitred corners |
 |
Make sure the fabric strips you are
mitring are long enough - rather too long than too short! Stitch the strips to the quilt a 1/4" away from the end of the corners. Secure the seams with a few back stitches. Stitch all strips in the same manner. |
 |
At the corners overlap the fabric
strips. Press all seams flat. |
 |
As shown in the image, turn the
fabric strip which is on the top in a 45 degree angle, so that the tails are
together. Press in place and pin. |
 |
If machine stitching, pin the strips
from the wrong side and carefully mark the exact stitching line. Stitch from
corner to corner securing the ends. Trim the seam allowance. However, I prefer to hand stitch the corners from the top with a blind stitch. This works best for me - it's quicker & results in perfectly aligned corners! Tiina
