    Someone else on the board gave me the idea of using fusible instead of pinning it. I tried it and it worked great. I posted about it on my blog.

    Thanks for the great tut. I always have a real challenge with mitered corners. Thats probably why I have so many ufos.

    I've tried a few more techniques that are even more simple. I've used fusible to iron down the miter, sew it, then trim off the fusible.

    Sharon Schambers has videos about using Elmer's School Glue on lots of things and I'm going to try that next. It's the same principle of how she does a 45 degree join on binding. Fold the boder under and iron the miter, put a very small line of glue on the fold, lay it down and press to set the glue. Sew on the pressed line.

    This is a great tute! I had a quilting teacher that taught me this method as well, and it's great to have something here that I can go back to!!
    Thanks so much for doing this!

    I want to thank you for taking your time to do this tutorial for us. I read it when you first did it and put a reminder in my memory bank (brain) that it was here for us. Today I was ready to use it and searched until I found it. My sash corners are elegant. I couldn't have done it without your directions on page one and I thank you so much!
