I think they look nicer if the corners are⅕ slightly rounded. You can do it just before turning right side out. Also rounding makes it easier to turn out. ❤❤
Just an FYI about batting. If you use something other than 'wrap and zap' the important thing in choosing a different batting is that it is 100% cotton, it cannot have any "scrim." Scrim is usually synthetic/nylon which catches fire in the microwave. As Ginny mentions all items used must be "cotton."
Yes. I put my bowl of soup in it and then tuck it in the microwave. Typically I do that for the bowls that don’t have handles. I have soup bowls with handles on them. So those I tend to put in the cozy after I heat things up.
Can you tell me what kind of batting you use the brand and how thick it is because I think the wrap and zap I use is thicker than what you’re using and so it’s pretty tough to sew in those corners.
I use Warm and Natural in 100% cotton it’s about an 1/8” thick . I also have used Hobbs 100% cotton batting that is less than 1/8” thick. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching. 🌻
I think it’s a case of simplifying construction, plus I notice on mine it does add a bit of protection from a potentially hot dish. You could try rounding them. I would round the corners at the start. Let me know if you give that a try. Thank you for watching! Happy sewing! 🌻

Can you tell me how these are used in the microwave? Do you warm them up at the same you warm up your bowl of soup etc?

Why do cozies not have the corners rounded somewhat?
