I am so excited to get started on my project. Thank you for the very clear concise tutorial! I grew up using cloth napkins, I am in my 50s and I still use cloth napkins every day! I have several of my mothers old linen tablecloth’s which are worn, stained, and even darned! They haven’t been used in probably 15 years. So, I decided it was time to donate them. I put them in a bag, and had them sitting by the door for three weeks . I’m going through the process of decluttering and minimalizing the house. I removed two very full carloads of stuff! But, I just didn’t have the heart to get rid of my mothers table clothes. So... sorry for the long story, I decided to cut them up and make cloth napkins! I will use these every day! And I will keep those stains and the darned sections to show off the years and love we shared at our family dinner table. Hopefully, I won’t cry every time I get them out !
This was helpful to me in that I had never seen anyone mark a one inch line all around and work towards that line, plus using that line/crease for using 45 degree angle on ruler to mark the sewing line across the corner. Cannot thank you enough! What pretty fabric you used, and you made this tutorial simple and encouraging. Sometimes, the most beautiful results come from doing a task simply and with very few tools and just the right instructions! Cloth napkins are so nice to make and give as gifts and for everyday....keeping all those paper napkins out of the landfills!
This tutorial makes sense and has been extremely helpful. I took the extra steps you have shown for hemming my tablecloth. Absolutely worth the effort of marking, pressing and doing the mitred corners……thank you!!!!! I am so proud of my work….it looks so professional!
Wow what a brilliant example, i have bookmarked for future use as my daughter wants me to make her napkins for Christmas and i was dreading doing the corners, but this was just amazing!!!!!! Thank you so much.
Lovely tutorial! I used this method to finish the edges of a furoshiki cloth. I wanted the back to look clean and polished since it will be folded and used often, so this worked really well. thank you for posting this!
Wow, I’ve watched 2 or 3 videos tonight and could not figure it out or at least, it was just not nice like this one. Thanks so much for explaining it so well. My napkins look beautiful and so professional, lol. Thanks again. Lovely way of doing those corners. :)
I was making an altar cloth for church and was a little nervous because I had never done the mitered hem. It came out awesome! Your tutorial was very informative and concise. Now I'm going to do my cloth napkins this way too. Thank you!!
Great tutorial, I have left over fabric from making waxed cloths that turned ok but I'm going to use the rest for napkins instead with lovely mitred corners.
Thanks so much for making this tutorial. I love how you show and explain it because I was making very messy corners. I look forward to making pretty napkins. I am off to see more of your videos.
If you fold to the 1 inch line, it does not crease along the line. Should I make the line at more than 1 inch to get that crease where you had it? confused.
At around 1:04, you "press about a 1/4 inch down". How do you make such an even line? (I'm afraid that the non-selvage edge will be uneven to begin with due to previous cuts.)
your instructions are so simple and nice. thank you. however, can you please clarify for me, is a top stitch supposed to be sown on the pretty side or the ugly side?? thank you
I've been sewing forever, but never understood the 45 degree angle concept using a ruler. I just made my first ever perfect napkin. Thank you!
That's such good news Bev! Congrats on your perfect napkin!
The best and easiest mitered corner I have seen on you tube and I’ve watched a LOT ! No more looking you’ve nailed it! Thank you for sharing 👍🏻

wow it's so good method
Explained very well thanx
Thank you thank you
Thank you
Who thought it could be so simple.
Thank you for the advice - perfect!
Your amazing! Thank you!
Yes. Yes I will
If you fold to the 1 inch line, it does not crease along the line. Should I make the line at more than 1 inch to get that crease where you had it? confused.
Can you do this with a rectangle shape? Like if I’m making a tablecloth?
Perfect!
At around 1:04, you "press about a 1/4 inch down". How do you make such an even line? (I'm afraid that the non-selvage edge will be uneven to begin with due to previous cuts.)
Would it still work if I did a half an inch instead of a quarter inch but still mark the one inch line ??
What is the name of the used fabric?
your instructions are so simple and nice. thank you. however, can you please clarify for me, is a top stitch supposed to be sown on the pretty side or the ugly side?? thank you
On the top side if you are using top-stitch thread.
Can this be done on a rectangle?
Wow! And I’m off....... thanks for the great tutorial!
You have such pretty hands and nails. I'm jelly!
