In this video tutorial I show you how to make your own fabric napkins using fat quarters (fabric pieces that measure ~18" x 22") with perfectly mitered corners. This is a great beginner project and also makes the perfect last minute gift idea!

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.

@lindatucker6593 Месяц назад

Thank you! You have explained and demonstrated mitered corners better than anyone!!!!!!!!!!

@momayn4859 4 года назад

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.

@allisonmeekis6033 4 года назад

I know right, I have been sewing for 5 years and never seen one before.

@ApandaLynn 3 года назад

Agreed! So smart

@crystaluncharted8366 2 года назад

Exactly. never seen this method. Butwill start now. Thank you

@petuniagirl1 2 года назад

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.

@ladydi4051 7 месяцев назад

Thanks,for sharing your "paper template measurements "& thanks,for getting straight to the point & for sharing your great sewing skills!

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 . 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

@TheCraftyGemini 5 лет назад

You can totally do it. Just takes some time and practice! Go you!

@petercane6890 4 года назад

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.

@TheCraftyGemini 4 года назад

So glad to hear this! Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

@carolclarke1532 Год назад

Absolutely the best tutorial I've seen on mitered napkin corners. THANKS!

@Vanessa-pe1fo 3 года назад

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!!!

@nancyorris863 2 года назад

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.

@randherzberg4723 5 лет назад

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.

@sandragambill6722 7 лет назад

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!

@DebbieDeeable 6 лет назад

I've been sewing for 50 years, this is the best mitered corners I've ever seen. Love your paper template too. BRILLIANT!!!

@lyn1991 3 года назад

You are a very detailed teacher. I thought I was doing pretty good, but you are awesome!

@EJ-hh5cs Год назад

This is the best explanation and illustration for making metered corners! Thank you!

@logcabin3551 2 года назад

You're a very good teacher! I could see what you were doing right away. You made it so clear to me.

@vickiengstrom9510 2 года назад

Thank you for clear, simple, step by step instructions.

@joannmccraw7235 4 года назад

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.

@bbrachman 7 лет назад

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.

@sharonlatour6230 8 лет назад

Thank you so much Vanessa! I love your tutorial and your napkins!

@susieinthecountry4434 5 лет назад

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!

@valeriegallic1657 4 года назад

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!

@awelch7548 7 лет назад

You explain things in such a simple manner. I love the way the mitered corners look. I will definitely use this on my napkins. Thanks for the tutorial

@ladykatmi 4 года назад

I have viewed other mitering videos and even tried them...but yours...by far..is the best and comes out beautifully. Thank you so much!!

@KoleSlaw83 8 лет назад

OMG! I love, love, LOVE this! I've been wanting to make these for a while now but have been too to intimidated to try (fairly new to sewing still). You made this so simple. Thank you!

@TattooedAussieChick 3 года назад

@daniellesimone7769 6 лет назад

Just love your 'hemming guide', Vanessa! Creative and utilitarian addition to your sewing 'stash', and easier/more consistent to use than a ruler or measuring tape. As always, thank you for sharing with all your informative tutorials.

@Doreengg 4 года назад

@kcparenteau6013 6 лет назад

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!

@debbiegardella8358 2 года назад

@queenslanddiva 3 года назад

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!

@claudiaburns5474 3 года назад

Thank you so much, now my napkins will be consistent!!! I'm so happy you made this video. You are a gem!

Terrific tutorial! So clear and easy to understand. I'll be making my first ever cloth napkins with mitered corners this coming weekend. I now feel confident I can do this, even as a beginner sewer. Thank you.

@joanstrause5345 4 года назад

@sandrateer1994 4 года назад

Searched for a video for napkins. This is just the tutorial I needed. Thanks.

@eileenbailey2093 4 года назад

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.

@valeriematthews3245 5 лет назад

Thank you!! Very well explained and shown!! I needed to know how to do the corner on a receiving blanket.

@fredaweigand3276 3 года назад

Love this idea works so well for napkins.

@nanettejernigan7338 4 года назад

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!

@antoinetterogers1166 5 лет назад

@barbaraann7610 6 лет назад

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.

@wandamg8921 8 лет назад

Great video! I especially like the idea of using different prints from the same fabric collection. The smaller sized napkins would be great for kids.

@karenpettinger6592 4 года назад

This is an AWESOME tutorial! I’ve just finished making a set of quilt as you go placemats. Now, I need to go and grab up some fabric and make some pretty napkins to go with them!

@paulamartinas7503 6 лет назад

This is such a cool tip to have quick perfect hems, now I feel like a boss🤩 next runner and fabric napkins for 2😄 thanks for the great video sending you lots of love from UK!

@oceanlbi 6 лет назад

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!

@marisolreyes6502 7 лет назад
