Exactly the tutorial i needed. Everyone else was telling me how to do edging or binding and not how to do the piecing itself. Thank you!

[@user-ly5yn4mz1c]

I just did my first corner and they turned out perfect. You made this so easy. Thank you

[@helenrobinson2782]

Brilliant! I’ve never been able to mitre a corner successfully. Thank you for such great instructions.

[@gailwilkins8137]

Thank you!!! You showed and explained this so simply. Others made it overly complicated.

[@susannice1420]

I can't thank you two ladies enough for these instructions that were easy to follow and gave perfect results. I've been trying to do this for years! Thank you so much xx

[@kelly-zk6yg]

for Christmas I made very light baby blue linen napkins to match my formal china with a wide cherry red linen border, turned out so beautifully everyone LOVED them! I made them "2-ply" which made them very rich looking on formal table - coudn't have made them so perfectly without your tutorial! Love your generous sharing of your work and talent with the rest of us- God Bless!

[@yvonneelderhurst6927]

Just made these mitred borders on my quilt and it worked beautifully. Followed all the hints and each corner came out perfectly first time. Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial 😊.

[@annie-fb1vm]

Thank you, thank, you thank you! I did my first quilt 11 years ago and I mitered my borders. Being busy with two jobs I haven't been able to quilt a lot, but now that I have retired for one of my jobs I have much more time to quilt. For some reason my first quote was the only one on which I mitered my borders. Your video helped me so much! I seriously did not have the faintest idea where to start. My borders turned out beautiful! I owe you many many thanks! 😍

[@thelmahayes8477]

I must have watched ten videos re: mitered quilt borders before I found you ladies. Your instructions made mitering as simple as it really is. The other videos instilled a fear in me! I just tonight finished my four mitered corners. Your demonstration is with a square block. You might want to include that most quilts are rectangle and, therefore, the fold before marking the cut is different. Thank you for your wonderful help!

[@lindachandler7763]

This video is fantastic. Your instructions were concise and easy to follow. I watched another video that did not mention stopping 1/4 inch from the edge and my corners turned out horrible! I had to rip the whole pillow border out and start again with your instructions. My pillow corners turned out perfect. This is a lesson learned. Now I watch several different videos about a technique before trying anything. And frankly, Fons & Porter will be on my watch list from now on.

[@DiScarrott]

THE VERY BEST tutorial I have ever seen for mitred corners. I was looking for an easy tutorial for a friend and I was so pleased to find this for her. Thank you

[@lilibalba4239]

Thank you so very much for these tips, I was going through the worst miter corner nightmare, until I found you, you save my project, thank you, thank you

[@TheSchnucki1962]

I am SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO there with you! I wish I could bake them something for being so sweet and INFORMATIVE!

[@6quilter4]

It's nice to know that what we produce helps you complete your projects

[@TheSchnucki1962]

It so does! Sometimes I just tune you in because you are such good company when I am sewing. I tune in the Carters on Pandora and you guys on the Smart TV. It is not as clever as you guys!lol We must do tea sometime. Although my hobby Chef Barista husband can make a mean Latte if you prefer!

[@6quilter4]

Elizabeth Sibus-Fischer I wish you were just around the corner:( It sounds delightful

[@TheSchnucki1962]

Me too sweet heart! I am sewing Strip quilts for Veteran's! VERY Gratifying and it is the Least I can do for them! Amen

[@dianewilcock9212]

Thank You! Simple and easy. Never thought I'd say that about mitering. With Covid, replacement fabric is hard to come by so needed to modify my pattern and learn to miter corners. All 4 look like a professional completed them. Thank You!!!

[@darlenefrederick8444]

Just finished my first four mitered corners and they are perfect! Thank you for this tutorial. I was intimidated about trying this, but it really is very easy to do.

[@deebynum9363]

Used this method to miter my first quilt, came out wonderful, thanks ladies for the easy and informative technique.

[@jgray9380]

Thank you soooooooooooo much for this video!!! I have a little quilt called Let There Be Chocolate that has the top finished except to miter the corners on the large border. It has been a work in progress (and frustration) that started 12 years ago and has been in and out of my UFO bin more times than I can count fighting with THOSE corners. I watched your video and put it into practice. In less than 1 hour, the corners are done, fit perfectly, and I can sandwich it after all these years! I am beyond thrilled and have saved the video for future use. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

[@carlam8528]

I just made perfect mitered corners thanks to you ladies!!! Thank you so much for the easy to follow video!

[@billsflower]

Worked great. Thanks for the video. I am very much a visual learner so seeing the steps work great.

[@karennay5993]

I watched other videos before yours, and hands down, your instructions were the best!

[@lyndylou51]

I've been quilting for 30 years and do mitered corners occasionally. I've always used other methods but this time saw yours and found it by far the easiest to follow. The result was 4 perfect mitered corners first try, no unpicking or frustration! Thank you!

[@bettykirschten2715]

Hi b in

[@RTHfan]

Thank you! I just finished piecing a quilt top which called for an outside sash with mitered corners. All the tutorials I found so far were for mitering borders, not sashes. Your explanation is perfect! You all should do this for a living!!😉

[@emmaausten465]

thankyou ladies im a beginner at making quilts etc and you've made this really easy to follow xx

[@jenniferbronston9263]

Thank you, directions were easy to follow and now my corners look great!

[@mariposamemm]

Best mitered corner tutorial on KZbin!

[@pattihuston]

I wish I would have found this earlier before I attached my first two scalloped borders with ribbon accent. But two of the four corners worked flawlessly, yes it was so easy once I followed your steps. I just have one corner with a shorted side on the border, to correct and finish this quilt. Thank you for your easy to follow tutorials.

[@debbieannheckeroth3879]

Thank you a million times over. You just made my life so much easier.

[@amoebala]

So helpful! Thank you so much for posting this video. The close-up shots really made it easy to understand.

[@tonycollins9874]

As a new quilter this video was very helpful. I truly don't mind doing the mitering now. Thanks

[@mrsdgross]

I used this tutorial to learn how to do mitered corners for a lap quilt I made for my father-in-law in December. It worked wonderfully and my quilt turned out great! Thank you!

[@6quilter4]

Destiny Gross You're welcome - Thanks for watching

[@cdeleon6888]

Thank you ladies. This is EXACTLY what I wanted to learn and you explained it so well.

[@juliakittross8811]

I tried mitered corners many times and haven't been happy with my results. I viewed a lot of videos trying to learn! Yours is the best. I finally did them. Not exactly perfect the first time, but now I know what to do to make it so the next. Thank you.

[@grandmarules2011]

Thank you for the video. I just finished my mitered corners on my table runner. I followed your directions and it turned out perfectly!

[@maryswindell2421]

Thank you for a great teaching video! My first quilt top now has beautiful mitered corners!

[@sammyruiz1986]

[@MarishkaMalay]

Wow, this was easier than I thought!! Thank you!!!

[@melaniehefner1098]

Thank you. That will work for me and answered questions I did not know to ask. Excellent video.

[@endlesssewingarts7658]

Very helpful. Been quilting for years now. Wanted to up my game. And always been afraid to try this. But, you explained to nicely. I'm confident in trying this now. Thank you 😊💓

[@nancyjschmidt6855]

I have been sewing for a very long time and I have yet to get comfortable with mitered corners. I have ruined several quilts because of this. NOW I am more confident so my next quilt will have gorgeous corners!!! Thank you!

[@withlovestephaniedenise7024]

Awesome! This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you so much!

[@PYN111]

this is excellent because I needed help with a simple border… not the binding yet! Thanks!

[@moscabianca2054]

Excellent instruction.

[@janethubbell2608]

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful video with me. I do know how to miter, but I like your Technique better. Because I've been a sewing for many years I know where you started to sew but you didn't show that on camera until after you already started to sew it (for beginners). l believe it would have been better for you to show where you put the needle to start the miter to start sewing but thank you again for sharing.

[@TomDeitrick]

Works perfectly!

[@TheSchnucki1962]

These ladies are quick and efficient and when you watch a few times you to will have the confidence to miter corners with ease to the pint of two or three colors using their method! Have fun it is sewing it is fun and relaxing wish I could see what you made!

Hi, thank you for the video! Can you explain how to make a patch pocket with metered corners as seen from the right side, basically, instead of sharp 90 degree corners, there are additional cut side?

[@dkloney]

Thank you for the video. I've been trying to do my corners just like that but kept messing up. Now that I have watched your video, I'm sure I'll be able to do my corners without an issue.
