I think I am not mistaken when I say that at some point all sewists face the problem of hemming around a corner when two exterior raw edges are coming together at an angle. Especially at an acute angle. And I didn’t find many tutorials how to do it easily. But we need to do it when we sew for example slits on skirts, or curtain panels, or some triangular pieces of cloth like neckerchiefs, etc.
So in this tutorial I want to demonstrate the easiest technique I use for professional corner finish. I want to show you how to fold and sew the fabric at the corner of a hem so there is a diagonal seam from the point of the corner to inside the edge of the hem.

Usually it is quite easy to insert an invisible zipper. But if we have to align checkers, stripes and other lines of separate pattern pieces (like a contoured band or yoke) it can be a problem. In this tutorial I want to show you how to do it easily.

Do you want to sew knits and stretchy woven fabric with a straight stitch of your regular sewing machine? You can do it with Eloflex – innovative stretchable thread from Coats. Just wind the bobbin with Eloflex thread and use the thread both in the needle and the bobbin to sew stretchy fabric. Eloflex thread is quite strong and it expands with the fabric so seams don’t pop out when stretched.
