Sewing - Miter a Hem for Tablecloths, Placemats or any 90 degree angle

- Making a mitered hem is easier than you think when you see it done. Video shows a few finished corners of tablecloths then a detail of actually mitering a corner. Captions are there for clarification. Video ends with close-up of a placemat and coasters front and back. The machine being used is Singer 216G zig-zag treadle sewing machine made in Germany about the late 1950s to early 1960s.

LOVE IT!!! from a man who is a rank amateur beginner with sewing & machine sewing.
i am 30something years old, never sewn in my life, but in 2011 want to learn and i must say Treadle Lady you are an angel to me. I am learning so much . Thank you - I love you. I wish you were in Atlanta so i can take your class
Your voice is calming.
You're a great teacher!
One of the easiest mitred corner tutorials I have seen. Thank you
Wow! I love your technic! I will try it out! Thanks for sharing! 🌸🌸
By far the best tutorial I've seen in the mitered corner area.
Thanks a lot for sharing Your knowledge.
Now I just need to practise...
You would absolutely not *believe* the gyrations I was going through to get a nice mitered corner - ahahahahahha ! Thank you for simplifying things for me - I will use this method from now on! ;)
I have a 216G among my treadles, too. Nice to be able to sew when the power goes out. :)
Just bought a new Singer machine.
Want to make a tablecloth and found your instructions easy to follow. Thank You
I keep a bamboo chopstick by my machine for turning corners. Thanks for the clearest tutorial on this subject ever.
This is so amazing, I am old (85) and never made such an easy miter. You made the tutorial so easy and understandable. I am making napkins now for Christmas. Thank you so much
I've watched 12 videos on how to sew a mitered corner and this is the easiest and best explained. Thank you for sharing your technique.
Thx so much for posting this!! Haven't done a mitered hem in years but it's all coming back after watching ur video!! Way to go!!
So glad I found this again ! LOVE the sound of those old machines!! They don't make them like that anymore.
Wonderful, such clear directions! Now I feel confident I can do corners like this!
Thank you for your excellent video on mitred corners. Very clear instructions and easy method, greatly appreciated.😀
I made 2 small tablecloths and I'm really pleased with this technique. I'm mediocre on the sewing machine and this gave good results.
Thank you thank you thank you I have finally found a way to do mitre corners that work
Your little tips like make the fold parallel made it so easy to make the corners. You have saved me a lot of stress and unpicking
So glad that helped. I just mitered four corners on an item this afternoon.
This was a wonderfully easy to follow video. I am still new to sewing and my tablecloths look amazing thanks to this hem!
Thanks a bunch! Very helpful for someone as slow as I!
Just did my first-ever tablecloth. Results are pretty good - my less-than-amateurish sewing skills notwithstanding. Couldn’t have done a thing, wouldn’t even know how to start, without this video! Thanks for posting!
Hands down, the best video on mitered corners!!!
Thank you. I will be trying this tonight on some Christmas napkins I'm working on.
Thank you for sharing, you have lovely hands.x
Thank you for the best instruction on mitering.
BEST tutorial on stitching perfect mitered corners. Wonderful tips !!
This is very useful.
Thanks !!
Thank Yoooouuu!
(I am French sorry for my english)
I saw your tutorial and in the same time i Have try in my machine its the first time MashAllah
Merci beaucoup c'est très gentil de votre part de partager vos connaissances MashaAllah!
Yes! I have been buying fabrics to make napkins but until now did not understand how to neatly finish the sides and corners to make them look more professional. Your video was very easy for a beginner like me to understand and I can’t wait to begin making my own mitered corners. Truly, thanks for making this video.
Dear Donna, thank you so very much for this video, this is just what I needed. Great explanation, I love that you used the edge of the machine as the guide, would never have thought of that.
Greatly appreciate this tutorial as it clearly shows in a most simple way how to sew that gorgeous miter! Thank you! 🙏
Thanks so much for sharing. I tried your method and my corners turned out beautifully!
Awesome, thanks so much so easy to follow and I don't regularly sew, but want to make some tablecloths. Thanks again.
Donna, thank you so much for a very well demonstrated sewing video. I never new how to do the miter corners. Well done.
Looks like your video has been around for awhile but I love it. I have searched UA-cam and yours looks like the easiest. I can't wait to try it. I also was so happy to see the cat material you used. It is one of my favorites. For Christmas I made a towel set,pot holders etc and these napkins will be a wonderful gift to add to her collection this year. Thanks again.
Thank you! Best video on mitered corners i have found!!
Thank you! Your video was very clear and easy to follow.
Absolute pleasure to watch! This lady has a wonderful way of explaining. I have a vintage in cabinet made by German company - Adler + 3 vintage Phaffs. These were the work horses in factories in the good old days. Can handle any fabric, does zigzag, embroidery, darning, anything. Solid machines, nothing plastic and built to last a life time. I just love them to death! Great video and enjoy music which is so appropriate to model machine use. Thanks for making this video.
You are lucky to have sewing machines that were made in the days before plastic and before manufacturing was outsourced to China.
What a clever idea! Will definitely be using this method from now on. Thank you for posting
Thank you, that was a very well done tutorial --very clear and well paced.
Now I'm off to sew my tablecloth, because my guests are arriving tonight --haha!
This tutorial was so good to follow, thank you so much! ❤️
FANTASTISCHE TUTORIAL!!! ik heb pas twee tafellakens gemaakt met gedrukte katoen stof van de Alb. Cuypmarkt met een plattegrond van Amsterdam, het komt heel mooi uit!! ook een tafellaken met de plattegrond van London maak ik nu, Bedankt voor deze Fantastische vid!!! amateursewing man in Amsterdam
Great video. I found a super source for beautiful linen, and I am making a table runner and place mats for Thanksgiving.
One tip: If you put the pins perpendicular to your stitching line, with the heads to the right, sticking well off your work, they're much easier to pull out as you sew, and they don't distort the stitching line as much.
Outstanding!
Thank you very much for the clear and easy to follow tutorial on mitered corners. Very well done tutorial.
Makes the mitered corners look easy!
FINALLY...This is a much easier way than how I was doing it. thanks a lot!
Excellent tutorial Donna!
Very helpful and useful vedio
That was awesome! Thank you so much for an easy to follow video!!
Thank you, that was super helpful and easy to understand.
Treadle nice & quiet and makes a solid sound. I am going to your technique, too. the other way doesn't produce consistent results. Linen napkins for a Christmas present. Thank you for a clear, well photographed, well explained instructional video.
So glad I found you this tutorial was so very helpful to me thank you
love this. very informative. love the voice which is easy to follow.
I really like how you did this. Thank you for making it look sew easy.
This was very helpful! thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge
This was so helpful. Thank you for showing in detail!
I'm going to try this technique. Thanks for the video.
Thank you sooooo very much! This is Exactly what I have been in need of Xoxox
Very lovely explanation 👌
Thank you for sharing this tip.
Great tutorial, many thanks!
Thank you very much for the tutorial. :-) I can't wait to try this. How neat that you use a treadle sewing machine! I'm fascinated by that. I love that it is quiet. Is that one that has been in your family a long time?
Excellent!
This is FANTASTIC!!! Are you Dutch?? I noticed you posted soe vids of St. Bavo Haarlem church organ?? Amateur sewing man in Amsterdam here.
thank you for your video
Thank you. I will do my tablecloth that way
That's great and really useful. I'll try it!!!
You can WOW experienced sewers when you show them this easy technique. Thanks for commenting.
Excellent video! Love your machine ;->
I don’t know how as your instructions are very clear but I messed my first corner up 🥴...next 3 OK...trying to workout how to damage control on first corner as it was a cutting angle mistake...good learning curve....!
very helpful and thank you for the video instruction
love, love, love!
Thank you for the comment, they are simple to do when you know how. :)
GREAT clear explanation -- THANKS! -- just in time for Thanksgiving!
Great video, I looked at some other videos that they pushed a button and the machine did it for them. Kinda takes the skill out of it IMO. It is nice to see it done with a basic machine. Have you ever had to replace the belt on your machine? My mom has one of these (or had....) but it is missing the belt. was wondering if you knew where to get a replacement?
This is superb!
Awesome
I like this video and I get it, but I think your hands went out of view at a crucial point when you trimmed the corner. Other than that, those that have sewing experience will find it very helpful. I'm going to give this a try today. Thank you for great step by step instructions.
Thank you for your comment! I'm so glad to hear my instructions are easy to follow. Pretty soon you will be able to do it automatically. Miter on!
thank you so much!
Thank you this was great very help full...:)
This helped me out SO MUCH! Thank you thank you! :)
Thank You!
Thanks mam I like your way too much🌷
Hi! That was a wonderful tutorial! But I have been searching all over trying to find a tutorial on how to make a FITTED tablecloth with elastic all the way around it for my old, beat up square coffee table. I see tons of tutorials for regular tablecloths but I can't seem to find anything on making a fitted one! I need help figuring out how to do the corners and it has to be fitted because our baby loves to pull the tablecloth off and spill evereything on the floor! lol Can you help me out?
@marcilynne Thanks for your comment and I'm glad my video was helpful. It is a great method and there are so many things you can miter.
It's one of my favorite techniques, looks so customized. Thanks for your comment.
Very helpful!
Thank you . very helpfull .
Thanks for the comment! It's good to hear that it sounds easy for a beginner. Do let me know how it works out for you. Please subscribe to my channel so you will be notified when I post a new video. Even though I use old machines I will have more sewing videos.
Thank you for the comment! :)
Hmm you do it differently cutting on an angle. Others are cutting and leaving a 1/4 inch inseam
👍
You can't see what you're doing!
