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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
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.😀
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!
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.
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 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.
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!
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!!!
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!
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.
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!
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'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!
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 !!!
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 🧡
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!
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 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!!
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Thanks for the idea of the cardboard hot iron template, I have seen others to buy and they are not cheap, so thanks the one you make is the one I will make. Thanks!

Thank you! You have explained and demonstrated mitered corners better than anyone!!!!!!!!!!
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've never heard of a hem guide and I've been sewing for 30 years! What a great idea!
Here is what I love about you and your videos. Some people make things so difficult and you make it understandable and easy!!! THANK YOU
Thank you for clear, simple, step by step instructions.
This is the best explanation and illustration for making metered corners! Thank you!
Excellent instruction! I’ve been sewing for over 60 yrs and have never seen your clever folding guide. Great idea. Thank you!
You're a very good teacher! I could see what you were doing right away. You made it so clear to me.

Thank you for your wonderful mitered napkin tutorial. You are a great teacher.
What a clever idea the "manila envelope measuring system" is! Thank you.
This is the easiest and best tutorial on mitered corners. Thank you for taking the time to clearly explain all the steps!
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
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!!

I can’t believe I just found this video. So sensible. Your tutorials are always well done and easy to follow! Thank you!

That hem guide is genius! I think your video is the best video I've seen on making mitered napkins.
What a great idea, make our own guide!. Saves buying the hot rulers I have seen advertised online. Thank you.
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!

Awesome! I’ll never have problems again on mitered corners! 🤗
So straightforward - thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much, now my napkins will be consistent!!! I'm so happy you made this video. You are a gem!
I made my first sets of napkins a few years ago with this tutorial. Here we go again! 🙂
Thank you for such a quick simple sewing tip I am going to make a guide
You are such a good teacher!! Thank you!
Searched for a video for napkins. This is just the tutorial I needed. Thanks.

I made a hem guide for sewing doll clothes while traveling, never thought to make one for home! Will be doing that! Thanks!
What a great idea to make hem precise! Thank you.
