That sounds pretty good. :-D What I was going to try is using a tearaway stabilizer instead of tape. Iron it on over the crease, sew, and tear it away. I think a strip of stabilizer folded and creased in the middle lengthwise so there is a crease down the middle to line up on the miter crease will help it fold over easily.

Please try the tape, I think you will find you don't need
anything else, but don't use blue tape as it does not stick as well. If I can do this, an experienced and talented quilter like yourself should have NO problems. |
Wonderful info on a difficult part of borders--thanks a lot. Cyd :D

Thank you so much for this tutorial on mitered corners! I've always been kind of afraid to try them, but you made it easy!

The idea that the tape gave me was to use fusible web. I tried it tonight and it worked good.
I did the first parts the same... lay out the corner of the quilt and border, make sure it's all square, then fold under the top border and iron the 45 degree angle. I sprayed a TINY bit of starch on it to make that folded edge sharp. Turn the ironed edge back and place fusible underneath it away from the seam allowance and iron it on [ATTACH=CONFIG]35098[/ATTACH] remove the paper, lay the top border down and press to fuse. I pinned it for security [ATTACH=CONFIG]35099[/ATTACH] I don't think I can get a miter any more perfect than this [ATTACH=CONFIG]35100[/ATTACH] |
Great tutorial - pictures are fantastic

Yay!!! I have a UFO that's been sitting there, still unfinished a year later, because I've been stuck on the mitering. Now I'm going to give it another go!!!
|
Let me know how it works out!

Thank you so much for all your wonderful info on miter corners. Will have a go with them on my next quilt
FABULOUS INFORMATION |
Pam! Wonderful tutorial!! You need to write a book. I'll bet you have other great ideas on how to do the basics and beyond. We novices need more instruction like this. Thanks! WLee
