When sewing the points, try to sew a couple of threads outside (into the seam allowance) the point. This will leave enough for the fold, leaving the point showing.
But still make sure your seam allowance is the consistent. I had (still have) trouble with my seams being scant 1/4 inch and had some wavy seams trying to get my points. Had to really work on those seams! Good luck with yours.
