I've been tubing sewing channels forever now which were only making it worse .....I stayed up all night watching you and I get you,,,,THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Thank you so much for your videos. Making napkins for my sweet DIL to go with a table runner for Christmas. This little tool is gold! I am not good at eyeballing and ironing a hem. Thank you so much too for your video Paper Piecing Made Easy. It rocked my "quilting skills" world.
How does someone so young get to be so smart and be such a great teacher? Of all the video's I have watched she is by far the best teacher . I love she gets down to business and everything I have tried she has a video on comes out beautiful. I just started sewing. She's adorable too.
Brilliant video. I am a 70 year old bloke that enjoys using a sewing machine. This is the best vid on mitred corners. So clean and precise. Thanks young lady.
OMG! That hem guide you had makes SO much sense, and I've never seen one before...I've been sewing for 50 years...where have you been!? Where have I been?! Thank you for this great tutorial.
8 years old and this video is still helping people (me). You have an awesome teaching style and your enthusiasm is catchy! You make me feel like I can do it (whatever the project). Thank you so much!!!
I am new to sewing and I am making napkins and a tablecloth for my granddaughter. I only had to watch your video to learn how to do the corners. You explained things very well and the pace was just right. Also no horrible music (noise) which can be bothersome. Thank you!!! Now back to my little sewing project.
UK here. Was struggling with mitred corners but got it now. Thank you for your instructions. Learned how to do them and I like your precision methods. I am making 12 napkins and placemats with a table cloth for my daughter , its an abitious task but loving the challenge.😀
That hem guide is genius! And you're telling me I can use Elmer's glue to baste the corners? Life-changer. You're a terrific teacher. Thank you and keep it up.
I love you’re videos, I been sewing for 20 years, things that I remembered from my mom, then finally I got my sewing machine from Walmart, simple basic, i started sewing and making winter hats , skirts, shorts, and design my own, you inspire me so much. Im working on my placemats.
Thank you so much for your video tutorials. You have a wonderful way of connecting with an audience. Teaching is an art, and you obviously are gifted with it.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was so easy to follow your instructions! I had been trying with other videos and they made it look so hard that a beginner like me could not do it. Thank you!!!
LOL. I have been sewing for over 45 years and have never been able to do a really good mitered corner. UNTILL today. I was doing a little happy dance after I got it. Good job well done!!!
I have watched you forever since you first started your channel. I gotta say, you got a lot of fancy fathers since then , like your long arm and you got into a lot of quilting stuff. But I personally like your regular sewing and the baskets you make from clothes lines. Your tricks are clear and I have learned a lot but I like the fast and easy stuff you do best. Your a great teacher. But, a lot of us can’t afford the fancy stuff. Please keep that in mind. Love your work.
Been making napkins for ten years, but learned a lot from this very well done video. Excellent teaching and I like the speeded up parts that needed to be.
I found your video for fuseable appliques today....WOWY WOW!! I kept watching your videos and loved them!! You make them all very simple and easy to understand!! I saw your cupcake pad and my brain exploded because I work at a farm/ farm brewery and these would be perfect for us...with different foods of course. Thank you so much for making a seemingly daunting world of quilting so easy!! May God bless you in your continued success!!
I just love your tutorials! You're instructions are complete, your video is clear and easy to follow. I'm learning so much from you. I grew up sewing, but haven't sewn in years, so I have a lot of skills to get back, like this mitered corner one! And your pillowcase tutorial was my "GO TO" and made several for my grandkids and my customers! I do machine embroidery, but basic sewing is lacking! Thank you so much for how great you are as a teacher!
This tutorial is the best and most easily understood one on mitered corners that I have ever seen! I'm off to make a set of napkins for a Christmas gift. I absolutely love your tutorials because you make everything so clear. Thanks!
Vanessa, thank you so much for an easy tutorial for mitered corners! Thanks to you, I was able to finish my grandson’s quilt and two receiving blankets without fear. For some reason, none of the other videos CLICKED for me, and your instructions were sooo much easier to understand without all the grid lines to be marked. Thanks a million!
You are a natural, my unmet friend. I feel empowered! And thanks for speeding it up in places. Sometimes it's painful to watch and wait for the next step, but you took care of even that. I'm feeling pretty good about my napkins! Thank you thank you!
Thank-you so much! I used this method way back when I was in Junior High School (I'm 70 now), but had forgotten exactly how I did it. Of course, they were hand sewn back then. Thanks for the fond memories! BTW ... looks beautiful and thank-you for your time and sharing your knowledge.
Thank you for showing all the steps so clearly! I have watched at least a dozen of these videos & they left my head spinning. Now, I cannot wait to get started!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been sewing from utero, but have never experienced the frustration of making miter corners on the napkins! I knew there had to be a better way....and Voila!! You appeared with your magic template. I am so happy! Doing my happy dance right now.
Wow, so happy I found you !!! I am a Brand-new Newby... and so far I haven't found ANYBODY who explains the folds, hems.. Mitered Corner's..etc as wonderfully and plain, to the point as yourself.. Thanks so Much ... I am for certain going to subscribe.. Keep them coming !!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This has been a very helpful and easy to understand video that doesn't drag on and on with a lot of unnecessary comments or annoying music.
Well! I am a very new sewer, and I thought this might be easy to do. Watched a couple of others about the mitred corners, but THIS one made sense! You've given me confidence to have a go. And I don't need all the gear that I would have needed for the others. Thank you!
Just gave up on another tutorial 🙃, and thought...I wonder if Crafty Gemini has a tutorial on this. Voila. I appreciate everyone that takes time to share, but my oh my...what a difference tgere is when one explains extremely clearly and zooms in for clear views. Thank you. Christmas Eve napkins will come out just fine 🧡
What a useful tutorial and boy! am I going to get going as I have lot's of materials I could use and now you have shown us how to do these professional looking mitred corners I am going to make lot's of gifts for family and friends. Thank you for sharing
THANK YOU!! I have watched too many videos to do the corners and this was the BEST! The most simple and clear instruction's out there! Only wish I would have found this sooner!
This is probably the best explanation and demonstration for making mitered corners. Especially for crafts. I need a nicely made fabric rectangle (17" x 4") with a nice edge to sew onto a football jersey. The letters will go on this rectangle. I am going to use this technique to make the rectangle. Excellent. Glad I stumbled onto this video.
Thank you for sharing simple easy to follow tutorials. I teach high school and my students love to have new easy simple sewing projects. It is exciting to see youth sewing and giving back to their community and people in need. Your tutorials make it possible. Thanks for being a part of our task! Sew On!!!
Your video tutorials are the best! Your instruction is very detailed making it easy to understand. You are my "go to" for all sewing projects. Keep them coming!
This was an excellent tutorial. Crisp, clean, professional presentation. I also learned about basting glue - great for doing all the prep work in advance for sewing with kids. Thanks!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!!! You have made this so easy, quick, and professional looking. I’ve tried other “training” videos but found them too complex with all the measuring at 45 degree angles and such. I didn’t like the finished product so I ended up putting the un-hemmed napkins away. Now I am motivated to get to hemming. Thank you so much.
As a beginner sewer, this made SO much sense to me! Great description and video. I'd watched a few others on mitering corners and I really screwed things up. Here's to trying again! Thanks go much!
I'm new to sewing and every time I start a project I realize I need a tool I don't have. Your hem guide is perfect! I don't have to buy it and you can iron it! So much love for you right now lol thank you!
Vanessa, thanks SO much for this. The wife and I just got back from a cruise and they did a class on fabric napkin folding. I thought, "Man, I should really make some of these." Since I only sew with the camera on, I'll have to try it on my channel. I'll be sure to give you a shout like I did with our Sausage roll pillow case. Thanks so much, your instructions and tuts are the best!
I love this video. I make church linens and have switched to this method for beautiful mitered corners on the linens, even the large linens. I do use wonder clips. My favorite thing I took away from this video was using a drop of glue to "baste" the corners. Perfect! It washes out.
Wow, I just want to say a huge Thank you. I am a new sewer and learning as much as I can. I found you and this is the fourth video I’ve watched of yours and it is so helpful. You explain everything so well. I will be watching all your videos now and educating myself with making all these wonderful things. Napkins, pot holders, bowl cozies. Thank you very much for teaching a newbie like me.
You are such a great teacher! Great sound, great camera work, feels like I am there with you. Thanks! Just want to mention that there is a product called the Hot Hemmer by Clover that I love and use all the time in my sewing business, if one does not want to make their own. It can really take the heat and holds the fabric in place pretty well. I fused 2 together for use on longer fabrics. Can fold them together when I don’t need them long. I am not affiliated with Clover, just a comment about one of my favorite tools. You can get them @amazon, etc.
Thank you for the tutorial. I have not had good luck in the past trying to make perfect mitered corners. This was so easy to follow. I used a batik print, so the pattern is on both sides.
thanks for your sewing expertise. My family and I exclusively use cloth napkins. They make great housewarming and holiday gifts. Love your corner technique. When you cut the triangle of fabric off the corner, you could use it as a template for the other 3 corners. I have subscribed to your channel to use your quilting techniques. Thanks again for sharing!
I really liked this tutorial. It is very informative and easy to follow. You obviously love what you're doing, and it shows. Your enthusiasm and expertise is contagious! Thank-you!
I don't know how to sew yet, but I have always wanted to learn. I LOVE your videos and recently found a sewing machine at a thrift store. SO excited to view your videos!
I want to thank you - you helped me alot. I needed to know the mitered corner for blankets for my nephew, and another video I saw used a tool with a 45 degree angle, well I didn't have that tool, then I found your video which worked great for me, perfect corners, blankets done. Thank you so much!
Sure glad I found your tutorials. They are so clear and to the point, giving all relavent information I think I’ll need. The camera work is top notch too. I could clearly see everything you were doing - a problem I found with other tutorials were when they got to the corners, but this video was so clear and you marked it out so well. Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to make these as my first sewing project.
Hi Vanessa, Love your ideas and videos! Another fun idea to give the napkins to a more formal look is to make the seam allowance 2" wide (still using the double fold but starting with a large piece of fabric and then use a coordinating 2nd fabric panel (about 1/4" smaller on all sides) , tuck it into the seam allowances with the two back sides of the fabric facing each other and sew as usual. You end up with a heavier napkin but its reversible. Keep up the great work, you're very inspiring and fun to watch!
Thank you--I've learned two things in one video. First, I can make my own hem guide. Then, I can make mothered corners. Your tutorials are clear and easy to follow.
what a blessing I received toni8ght, finally finding someone that I connect to when you teach . im at the age where AARP has been looking for me for a while.lol. bought a brothers sewing machine years ago ,it was a daydreaming passion to be able to put the pedal to the metal whipping out projects like I do clients as a hair dresser for all these years ....NOPE...Wasnt happening I've been scared to death just looking at this machine ,then finding out I need a computer also O#G HOW IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN.i bought a Mac computer, geek squad, apple care , bartering computer lessons for hair cuts ..hasnt been the picture in my mind .

You’re amazing, the best teacher. I hated the measuring tutorials. Trying it now on a table cloth, thanks so much.
I am fairly new to sewing, your mitered corners are the easiest to follow of any I have seen so far!!! Thank you!!! Subscribing
You are a very detailed teacher. I thought I was doing pretty good, but you are awesome!

Great tutorial! I have struggled to make neat mitered corners on napkins, it has finally clicked!
Glad to help! Happy sewing!
What a clever idea the "manila envelope measuring system" is! Thank you.
Nice video. Didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but you are a good teacher.
I'm new to sewing and every time I start a project I realize I need a tool I don't have. Your hem guide is perfect! I don't have to buy it and you can iron it! So much love for you right now lol thank you!

One of the best tutorials I have ever seen. She "tells" you and "shows" you every step with great close-up camera work. Great presentation. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your talents and skills. You are a WONDERFUL teacher!!! 🤗

Thank you for the tutorial. I have not had good luck in the past trying to make perfect mitered corners. This was so easy to follow. I used a batik print, so the pattern is on both sides.
I made my first sets of napkins a few years ago with this tutorial. Here we go again! 🙂
WOW you are such a good instructor.!!!!! I'd watched another tutorial before and I was like I don't get it. This one is PERFECT!!!!
Thanks so much.
thanks for your sewing expertise. My family and I exclusively use cloth napkins. They make great housewarming and holiday gifts. Love your corner technique.

Love it!!! I have been sewing for a long long time and this is the first time I saw a simple miter corner. Great idea
I really liked this tutorial. It is very informative and easy to follow. You obviously love what you're doing, and it shows. Your enthusiasm and expertise is contagious! Thank-you!
I don't know how to sew yet, but I have always wanted to learn. I LOVE your videos and recently found a sewing machine at a thrift store. SO excited to view your videos!
OMG that hem guide is so clever! What a game changer! Thank you!
I made a hem guide for sewing doll clothes while traveling, never thought to make one for home! Will be doing that! Thanks!
Brilliant! I’ve watched 3 different tutorials on this and this by far is rather easiest one.
What a great idea, make our own guide!. Saves buying the hot rulers I have seen advertised online. Thank you.
Thank you! You are a great teacher. I’m saving the video for future reference. I’m looking forward to exploring other video tutorials you’ve made.
I want to thank you - you helped me alot. I needed to know the mitered corner for blankets for my nephew, and another video I saw used a tool with a 45 degree angle, well I didn't have that tool, then I found your video which worked great for me, perfect corners, blankets done. Thank you so much!
This looks like an easy way to make mitered corners. Thanks Vanessa!
You're a natural teacher. Love your tutorials!
Thank you sooooo much for teaching me how to miter the corners of a cloth napkin.
Sure glad I found your tutorials. They are so clear and to the point, giving all relavent information I think I’ll need.
The camera work is top notch too. I could clearly see everything you were doing - a problem I found with other tutorials were when they got to the corners, but this video was so clear and you marked it out so well.

Can’t wait to make these as my first sewing project.

Another fun idea to give the napkins to a more formal look is to make the seam allowance 2" wide (still using the double fold but starting with a large piece of fabric and then use a coordinating 2nd fabric panel (about 1/4" smaller on all sides) , tuck it into the seam allowances with the two back sides of the fabric facing each other and sew as usual. You end up with a heavier napkin but its reversible. Keep up the great work, you're very inspiring and fun to watch!
Totally awesome idea!
+C Duff Great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much! I like your direct and breezy manner, You dont waffle about!
Thank you--I've learned two things in one video. First, I can make my own hem guide. Then, I can make mothered corners. Your tutorials are clear and easy to follow.
Your hem guide idea (the manilla folder paper with lines drawn for hems) is brilliant! Thanks also for telling what kind of fabric to use.
Thanks for a great tutorial. Easy to follow and the mitered corners come out perfect every time.
I'm making napkins out of an old tablecloth for my daughter and she's going to love them! She doesn't want to buy paper ones. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial. Not fussy, with extra sewing and fiddling around.
