How do you make the corners of your pocket square? I've clipped and turned, and poked and poked some more and they always have slightly rounded corners

Cutting the seam of the corner at a 45 degree angle helps and cutting the remainder of the seam to about 1/8". I also use a tool that's solely for pushing the corners out.

I usualy sew down and then take 1 stitch on the diagonal and then continue the next seam this gives enough room to poke it out.

The diagonal stitch on the corners really works well.

This is all good. Now if I can just remember the next time I am making corners!

You need to cut the corner off the seam allowance and trim seam allowance to about 1/4" where it goes to the corner. I use to make clothing, not any more, just quilts.

I fold just the corner of the seam allowance under, press, then fold under the seam allowances of the side and bottom and press. Hope that makes sense...

I simply use a chop stick. Cut the seam allowance corner off pretty close, and then when I turn I don't push the chop stick into the corner, but rather to one of the edges. Then to the other edge. It seems to line up the fabric better.

ahhhh. Thanks all! I've been using a long wooden skewer, but poking it right into the corner. I'll try pushing the edges next time
