Thanks you for sharing your technique about creating a mitered border. It was very helpful and calmed my hesitations about tackling it.
You are very welcome. I am glad that I was able to help you with this technique.
I appreciate your willingness to share your expertise with the masses. Clear and concise with no "fluff," because let's be honest, we all really just want to get to the sewing machine as quickly as we can before forgetting all the steps. 😅
(As if I never hit that 'rewind 10 sec' arrow a hundred times regardless!) 😝

Thank you! Next time I make a pillow, I will give it a try. Small steps.
This is much more simpler than what I been doing. And I don't always come out with a nice seam. Thank you! I love your videos

Simple ... good teaching
Thanks so much. Great video. You make it look so easy.
Aw, thank you, you're too kind!
Thank you for the amazing tips.
You are so welcome!
Thanks. I appliqued a hexi quilt to borders and am trying to figure out how to miter those corners. Fortunately my border is not striped. Thanks again
You are welclome. Good Luck!
This is the best tutorial I've found for mitered corners - thank you. Is there a way to add them to a base that can't be folded? I want to add a border to a mouse pad - but since the rubberized material can't be folded this technique doesn't quite work.
Unfortunately, this is not something that I know. YOu will have to play with it to find something that will work.
Thank you,for this great tip. Can’t wait to try it! But could,you please tell us about the light over your machine, and also what brand of pins you are using! Thanks. 😊
Thank you so very much
Always welcome
Great video. I would like to have the pattern of the quilt with the stars that is on this video
That is my Magic Carpet pattern, you can find it here: deb-tuckers-studio-180-design.myshopify.com/products/magic-carpet?_pos=1&_sid=115f37ead&_ss=r
Do you have any tips for working with black materials and mitering corners? I'm sewing black borders on t-shirts (like a picture frame) but can't seem to mark the 1/4 inch area on the black fabric. Any hints?
Try sewing with the t-shirt on top. Even though it is a bit trickier it can be a bit easier to see. If that doesn't work consider setting up a tape guide as I mention in the video Perfecting your 1/4" seam and then you can hold both fabrics against that as you sew.
Hi Deb could you demonstrate how to do picket fence on both short sides of a unit with the wing clipper. (opposite sides not like a flying geese) thank you
Hmm, while it could be done with the wing clipper, I'd probably use the Corner Pop for making that style of unit.
@@DebTuckersStudio180Design thank you Deb xxx
QUESTION - Can you miter a rectangle or other shapes?
Certainly, but you won't be mitering at a 45° angle. The angle will depend on the shape you're working with.
