MITRED CORNERS

This technique is used on board mounted treatments with returns. The mitred corner ensures a polished finish, and helps to control the bulk of fabric which results when the treatment is wrapped around the side. It can be used for treatments which are stapled directly to the board or treatments which have an applied waistband.

The steps are simple:

Fold back the return. Fold it back the measure of the return plus 1/8 - 1/4". Align the top edges and smooth flat. It is important to fold this back evenly and straight.

From the top corner of the fold, measure in across the top the measure of the board allowance. Measure down the fold the same measure. Mark both points.

Draw a straight line between the two measures. Stitch on this line.

Turn the fold right side out. Do not trim away corner triangle.
