Sewing Mitred Corners

Sewing Mitred Corners. A mitred corner, in simplest terms, looks to join two edges (be it corners of patch pockets or vents in skirts), together in a diagonal direction to form a sharp and distinguished corner.
The corner is sewn into place and bulk removed.
Thankfully, sewing a mitred corner is an easy thing to achieve and can be adapted to fit many sewing projects.

That is one awesome video tutorial. As well as sewing instructions I wish you could give filming and presentation classes to various television companies who transmit craft programmes that are nowhere near so clearly delivered.

[@colleenglea]

Hello Celia, Thank you so much for the huge compliment.

[@eligatica]

Very helpful, yes indeed. Additionally, your videos are well produced, being just the right amplitude in sound, succinct and to the point, and easy to follow. Thank you for the great videos! I wish you lived closer...I would buy you a beer (root beer or alcoholic type) and pizza. Keep up the excellent tutorials!

[@SundaysChild100]

I never thought about applying this technique to a pocket. Thanks!

[@scooterphoenix]

Short, very clear & concise. I've been reading about how to create a mitered corner, but seeing it made it much more understandable. I've subscribed & I'm going to browses all of your videos for more instruction. I'm new to sewing & I can use all the help I can find. Kudos!

[@yvettemartinez6511]

Many thanks - I'm quickly becoming a fan of your tips and tricks! I specialize in aprons, and your advice has been very helpful to give them a more professional look. I'll keep watching and learning!

[@Knittyneeds]

Wow AMAZING that was the BEST video on KZbin for mitered corners I ever watched which I greatly appreciated. You are a STAR. A very short and sweet tutorial with no agonizing blabla. Thanks for sharing and caring. 👍👍👍💕

[@colleenglea]

Thanks for the compliment Knittyneeds.

[@TheAnswerJan]

Beautiful work, great job explaining, as you didn't waste time. Too many people think they have to rival Steven Spielberg, so their videos are too long. Didn't know how those corners were done, & I've sewn for many years. Love it!

[@Anna61210]

Beautifully executed! Thank you so much for making it so clear and easy to understand.

[@colleenglea]

No problem Anna. Thank you for your comment.

[@MrsMaxinmillion]

THANK YOU!!! For this clear easy to follow video ......... I have a beautiful old hand crochet table cloth edging . It needs a new linen centre. I had no idea how to do the amazingly neat corners.! But now I do and after I have a little (or a lot of !!) practice on a scrap of material I hope I will be able to do good enough job to justify this wonderful piece of handy work . Fingers crossed :)

[@olgaorde4161]

I thoroughly enjoyed that lesson. Quick, concise and the perfect amount of discussion. Thanks. I wish I had known that when I was making all those pockets for the pajama bottoms and my table runners. I'm excited to know that the quilts I have yet to finish will have these lovely corners and look even more professional.

[@orlabalogun2180]

Hi, I love the video- it's really clear. How would you do a meat corner like this if you wanted the hem turned twice to give a neater finish? I don't know if I've explained it well enough but thanks in advance for your help x

[@MadMonique]

if you have a hem that is turned once, just iron it down before following Colleen's instructions. Then, after you have done the mitered corners, press and pin the turned under edges and top stitch. Result: hemmed edges and mitered corner without having to baste stitch (although you could if you were not used to top-stitching). You only need to fold the fabric once, not twice to get an enclosed hem. Good Luck

[@colleenglea]

You'll have to use a template and then hold and press the pocket shape. Once thats done, edge stitch all the way around.

[@WASF2024]

I watched this multiple times, sorry, and couldn't understand this. I'm a sewing student working on fabric with a right and wrong side (pattern/white). Care to do one with a patterned fabric on one side that is white on the other side like quilt cotton? That would be amazing. Thank you.

[@rebeccachatfield6333]

Thanks for your great tutorial. I'm really new to this so your simple instructions suit my skill level very well. I've decided to make some lined curtains. How would I go about doing a mitred edge at the bottom of my curtain?

Thanks I never knew that

[@craftyone2000]

I love your channel I've just subscribed! I have a video request if you are taking them :) For a v neckband with this technique (except the fold would be on the top side of the v of course) I've watched all of your NeckBand, and Necklining videos, including the V Neckband but it has the fabric crossing over at the "V" point.

[@missfozia05]

Great tutorials. But how do we finish the raw edge once we have mitred the corner

[@minhope9698]

wonderful could I apply this to a quilt binding do you think?

[@joyevans8454]

Very nice demo; however, I noticed there were raw edges left...should I turn in twice before stiching and cutting away for a tea towel

[@colleenglea]

Hi Joy. Yes you can neaten the raw edges, just beware of adding to much bulk. Thank you for commenting.

[@knottycarla]

Can I do this for all 4 corners? I bought frabric a few years ago to make Christmas napkins or is there a video on how to make napkins?
