I've been sewing forever, but never understood the 45 degree angle concept using a ruler. I just made my first ever perfect napkin. Thank you!

The best and easiest mitered corner I have seen on you tube and I’ve watched a LOT ! No more looking you’ve nailed it! Thank you for sharing 👍🏻

[DebbieTaylorpdx]

This is my favorite of all the mitered corner napkin tutorials! I LOVE the way you do the corners. Everyone is getting cloth napkins this year! :)

[fredawade]

This technique also works on a rectangle as well as a square. So it would work on a placemat as well as napkins.

What type of fabric are you using in this tutorial.Please reply.thanks

[sophievanderbilt]

Lovely tutorial! I used this method to finish the edges of a furoshiki cloth. I wanted the back to look clean and polished since it will be folded and used often, so this worked really well. thank you for posting this!

[janetwilson]

Love this video! I just bought fabric for napkins. So helpful...and easy. Have a blessed day!

[heatherrj]

Adding to the compliments! - This is the best mitred corner tutorial of them all - and I watched quite a few.

[suebean]

Wow, I’ve watched 2 or 3 videos tonight and could not figure it out or at least, it was just not nice like this one. Thanks so much for explaining it so well. My napkins look beautiful and so professional, lol. Thanks again. Lovely way of doing those corners. :)

This was helpful to me in that I had never seen anyone mark a one inch line all around and work towards that line, plus using that line/crease for using 45 degree angle on ruler to mark the sewing line across the corner. Cannot thank you enough! What pretty fabric you used, and you made this tutorial simple and encouraging. Sometimes, the most beautiful results come from doing a task simply and with very few tools and just the right instructions! Cloth napkins are so nice to make and give as gifts and for everyday....keeping all those paper napkins out of the landfills!
