How To Make The Perfect Mitred Napkin Hem | Two Ways

Creating a neat double turned #hem can be tricky without forming bulk and lumpiness at the #corners which can be problematic on some things like #napkins, #placemats, #tablecloths and sheets. Placemats are the best example as they look their best when they lay completely flat. A standard hem can form such a build up of layers at the corners that the placemat won't sit flat. A #mitred corner not only looks fabulous and much more #professional, it can also create a much flatter hem as there's much less of a build up of layers.

Follow this short tutorial to learn how to sew the best hems with professional mitred corners using two methods and in two styles;
A standard hem is turned to the back and #sewn either by hand or on the machine. A reverse turned hem brings the hem to the front to be hand or machine sewn which is ideal for fabrics that look good both on the front and on the back.

I just love watching you work you explain things and demonstrate things so clearly, I have been sewing for over 50 years and make anything and everything, to de stress I watch your videos on my days off from working in a curtain shop where we sell fabric and make up, thank you.

If the side hem is not equal to the bottom hem as can be the case in a curtain, do I still follow this same steps?
