But I don't see why it wouldn't work for a differing degree change. You can basically line up the two points to create that line (and not really worry about degrees)

I then press it very well so I can see the line well. Gently open the top piece while keeping the bottom still and in place. Then I pin across the seam from the outer point to the inner. And sew....

Hope this helps!
