Oi, I'm going to go ahead and confess...I don't know how to do everything sewing related. I had to Google last Wednesday what a French seam is. Turns out I was doing it anyway (yay for luck) on a lot of the kids clothes and curtains. The hardest thing that I just figured out TODAY? Mitered edges on a baby blanket.
Yes, I make a satin trim for my baby blankets. I add about an extra 1.5 to 2.5 inches (depending on the size of the blanket; smaller for the lovey, larger for the stroller) and 'roll' it over. I had the hardest time figuring out how to make perfect 45 degree angles for each corner. I decided to roll it under and sew it. I really liked the result because I could add some contrasting color from the stitches. But how to make the all-mighty invisible mitered corner?
Today, I found the link and the light bulb went off. It was a beautiful moment.
Here's the link.
And it was so simple.
Mitered corners are at my fingertips. I am going to miter everything.
