And before turning out cut the batting as close to the stitching as you can, and cut corner triangles close to stitching ...this will eliminate a lot of the bulk. Also, at corner don't just make that sharp turn, make one stitch on diagonal, then swing to the direction you want...gives a better looking corner.....like I said, these work for me when making tablerunners, placemats, etc.
