[QUOTE=wkdwich;6887514]I've been scouring the net looking for the best way to get sharp corners on elongated triangles like a jesters hat or the santa/wizards and birds seen on this blog:
http://virginiarobertsonsblog.com/ ... the triangles I'm working with are 6" wide x 16" long, 5"W x 14L and 6"W x 12"L.. I've fooled with knitting needles, bodkins and this other long plastic thing that kinds holds the point while you turn.. but none are allowing me good sharp points.. Can anyone guide me please?
I was taught that when you're sewing a point, you should stitch up one side, turn your fabric slightly, take one stitch across, then turn and sew down the other side. The extra stitch allows for the bulk from both sides of whatever it is your sewing together. Trim your fabric, and you should have a nice sharp point. Good luck!
