    Love that this process doesn't require extra cuts and sewing for the mitered corners like other tutorials I have seen and used!

      You can cut off the corner where I did the first fold across the squares and it will make the corner less bulky, but this works too.

    I haven't made napkins for a few years, and lately I wanted to make more, but couldn't remember how to miter the corners. So of course I turned to RUclips, I sewed 4 napkins with the mitered corners done 3 different ways, I wasn't really happy with how they were done, they turned out nice, I just didn't like how to get them there, finally I came across your video 😊, and I'm so glad I did, your way makes the most beautiful miters, in the easiest way possible, so I will do all my miters this way from now on.
    Thank You so much for sharing your time, and your talent with all of us.

    I'm always trying to find ways to be eco friendly and never even thought about cloth napkins! I have so much left over quilting cotton that I'm going to get started making these napkins for my family. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and your fabulous tutorials.

    Wow! I've always assumed that mitered corners are tricky, but your tutorials make everything easier. You've certainly inspired me to stop using paper napkins. One more use for those I can think of: reusable gift wrap (especially if made from some cute fabric). On a side note: love your t-shirt:D have a great holiday season!

    • @Mellysews
      @Mellysews  2 года назад +1

      Thanks! And yes, they could be great gift wrappers too!

    OMG! Melissa, thank you! So much easier than all of the extra finicky, cutting stuff. I still have some fine-tuning--despite using a seam gauge, a couple of my corners didn't line up perfectly (a teeny gap at the mitered part), but they still look nice and even everywhere else. Woohoo!

    • @Mellysews
      @Mellysews  2 года назад +2

      And napkins are a great place to practice since no one notices slightly imperfect corners on these :)

    Omg if I took one thing away from this video, it was to use a edge to make an even fold for pressing.

    • @Mellysews

      You'd need to consult your machine manual to see if that's an option.

    I’m not sure What fabric should I buy at my fabric store.
    Duck cotton; cotton linen; cotton canvas? Thank you; your instructions were excellent!

    • @Mellysews
      @Mellysews  Год назад

      Those are all thicker fabrics. The ones in this video are 100% cotton quilting fabric.

    I just made my first napkins ever. How in the world do I remove oil stains from napkins which I can forecast will be after every dinner. I’m not afraid of scrubbing either.

      I just wash mine in hot water 🤷🏻‍♀️
