    I must be dumb because I can't tell what you're doing between steps one and two. What did you do with the tool?

    Just bought all the different corner rulers. I can do it without, but it is so much easier with the right tools.

    I use the 60 degree line on my long ruler and make sure I slice off the fabric 1/4" above the corner point of my quilt top.

    But, I'm thinking of buying that tool now since it will make it easier.

    Thanks Grann!

    Thank you. Maybe I can not do a meter corner on a baby quilt I am making.

    I drew a line on the fabric where the edge of the tool is. Then you fold and stitch on the line.
