[@jackieamick5373]

This is one of the best overall videos I have had the pleasure of watching in a long time. Very clear, concise, realistic instruction, without distractions, interruptions or flubs in the video quality! Thank you for this great instruction!

[@marybartlett47]

Thank you for a great video. I have been sewing for close to 60 years making clothing, christening gowns and quilting but I have never seen this exceptional way of mitering corners. Wow, easy & perfect every time!🎉

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

Thank you so much for saying that Mary! What a high compliment ☺️

How do you get to the place where you can order pens and ruler

[@kimberlycooper4170]

Bonnierobinson1654 , you should be able to buy a ruler and pens at a fabric store. In our area, we buy from our locally-owned, small business, brick and mortar stores so that we can keep a higher percentage of our money in the community and so that our local people will have incomes and jobs.

I gotta say … I’m kind of dazzled by this cherry fabric. 🍒 Thank you for this tutorial. I’d never seen this mitered corner method, and you explained it really well.

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

Matilda! That cherry fabric is my favorite. I keep buying more. I even turned it into curtains in my sewing room :) It is called Cherry Blossom by Robert Kaufman.

Can you please let us know the ruler you use to trim the corners?? I looked in your description post but it doesn’t seem to be the one you used for the corners…I like that one! Thank you!

[@mmills5951]

It looks like a Creative Grids ruler

[@dogwalker338]

@ thank you! I actually found a good one on Amazon! (Took some searching!!)

[@jamiecarcamo6921]

I'm going to try and make placemat, as you show here, but can you please tell me the exact Batting you used. On the video you just stated it was a thin Batting, but can you give us the exact name

[@TamarasJoyDIY]

Hi Jamie, I use a cotton batting, the company warm and natural is a nice one: amzn.to/49c8lcd (affiliate link) Do NOT prewash the batting as it will turn into dough, but DO prewash the cotton fabric if you don't want the placemats to wrinkle up after the wash. However I am lazy and skip the prewash step so my placemats are always a bit wrinkled after the wash. Hope that helps!
