Sharp Corners!

It takes a little more time when sewing, but the corners will end up great.

I'll try to explain it, but it will be best if you look at the picture:

Step 1 (Blue line): Sew the seams with a regular stitch length. Don't pivot, just go off the fabric, clip, and start again to sew the other side of the angle.

Step 2 (Red line): Drop your stitch length to about 1mm. Start sewing about 1" away from the point and sew over your previous stitching. BEFORE you get to the corner, pivot the fabric, sew 2-3 stitches across the gap, and then pivot again and sew 1 more inch over the previous stitching.

Step 3 (Green line): Trim corner, but don't cut through the red stitching.

Turn, use a point presser, and press.
