Thanks- I've never seen that method before. I am making some bandanas for my BIL for Christmas & this looks like it would be a nice finish on them.

I had never seen this way either and thought it was a very easy way to make such a professional looking corner!

I'll use this method to make napkins. I, too, prefer the feel of 100% cotton and don't mind ironing them at all.

This is the way I do all my "fold backing to the front" quilts. I have been doing this as long as I have been quilting, about 5 years. And before that I did a lot of home dec sewing, so to me this is not a new way of mitering. What is really nice on the napkins is to use a wing needle and a fancy stitch to stitch down the hem. When I do this on my quilts I use the blanket stitch to make a nice secure hem.

Thank you so much for posting this! I knew there was an easier way to do mitered corners and I could not figure it out and this is what I was trying to remember. Thanks again you saved the day!

I've tried this twice and I've done it wrong twice Bet you didn't know there were more ways to do it wrong than right...

Hopefully I can follow this tute and get it right!
