Here’s a little tip that not many sewers seem to know for getting sharper corners. Instead of stitching a plain right angle when turning a corner as you have (like the letter “L”), pivot the fabric only 45 degrees instead of 90 degrees, then take 2 stitches, then pivot again another 45 degrees which should set you on the path along the next side of the pillowcase. In other words, you are sewing a little 2-stitch diagonal line when you turn the corner, instead of making a sharp, 90 degree turn all at once. If you try both ways of doing it on a practice piece, I think you will see an improvement in the appearance of your corners. And it’s so easy…all you have to do it remember to do it!

Thank you for the tutorial. What is the “seam guide” attached to the free arm of your sewing machine, the item with the red and blue lines? This looks so useful! (I, too, sew with a Bernina 730 Record.) Where do I find one? Wallis Bolz

[...] I would have preferred to do it with all one print, but like I said in my other post, it was originally meant to be 2 sets of toddler sheets & pillowcases! Anyways I made the sheet on my own with out any pattern (it fits slim & deep mattresses AND those with toppers ), not cost effective unless you use a larger size sheet or getting the fabric cheap because it uses 4.5 yards, but it’s nice to have the freedom to choose! I used this tutorial for the pillowcase… Vanilla Joy Pillowcase Tutorial [...]
