A mitered corner is one in which the corners meet in a 45-degree angle. What does that mean? Take a look at a picture frame or window frame and you will see a mitered corner. Here's an example:This is a more challenging border to create, but the angled seam is well worth the effort! This technique can be completed with some careful measuring and accurate sewing.

Length of quilt side + width of the border X2 + 6" = Total Border Fabric Use this equation to find out the border length needed for each side of the quilt, and then cut the border fabrics to the specifications.For example, my quilt top is 40” x 50” and my borders are 2: wide. My equation for the top and bottom border would be 40" + 4" + 6" = 50", so those two borders would each measure 2" x 50". My equation for the side borders would be 50" + 4" + 6" = 60", so my two side borders would measure 2" x 60". Fold both the border and quilt top in half, marking their centers. Line the centers up and pin together. Begin by putting the ends of the quilt and border together, and then proceed to the rest. Sew the border to the quilt top, starting and stopping 1/4" away from the edge of the quilt top. Don’t forget to backstitch at each end! Repeat with all four borders. There are different ways to sew the borders together at this point, but I think this is the easiest.

Fold the quilt top in half diagonally with right sides facing each other, creating a triangle.Line up two neighboring borders — like the top border and the right side border for example (shown on the top right of the photo above — on top of each other with the fold of the quilt top running at a 45-degree angle between the two.When these borders are lined up, grab a pencil and a ruler. Place the ruler along the 45-degree angle and extend it over the borders. Trace the angle onto the border, and pin firmly place.You are ready to sew a mitered corner! Locate the stitch line you made when you sewed the border to the quilt top, and begin sewing right there. This will ensure that you there are no gaps or spaces on the front.Sew from the stitch line out toward the end of the border, directly on the pencil line. Backstitch at the beginning and end. Unfold your quilt top and make sure there are no gaps in the inner corner and that the border lies flat. Trim the excess border to 1/4" and press seam.

Repeat these steps with the other three corners, and then sit back and admire your lovely work! [Want to save this post?

Country Homes & Interiors shows you how to make your own Add colour and cosiness to a doorway with a pretty panelled curtain following Country Homes & Interiors easy instructions. Fabric (we used main fabric; Fergus in Hawthorn, from £75 a metre, Voyage Decoration. Border fabric in Lomond Check, £102 a metre, Osborne & Little) A sewing machine or needle Step 1) Adjust and position the curtain pole in place inside your door at your preferred height. Measure the width of your door at its widest point and the drop from the top of the curtain pole to the floor. Step 2) Cut the curtain from the fabrics to these measurements as follows, adding to the drop length of the top fabric the measurement of the pole circumference plus 6cm for the top of the curtain and 1 cm for the middle hem and 1cm for the middle hem plus 7cm for the bottom hem to the floor for the bottom fabric (based on this fabric finishing at one third the length of your top fabric).

Add a total of 14cm to the width for side hems on each fabric. Step 3) Before joining the fabrics together overlock the edges of the joining widths of the fabrics. Lay the fabrics together widthways, right sides facing. Pin and hem 1cm in from the edge then open out and press. Step 4) To hem the side edges, press under 7cm along each side edge then turn under the raw edge by 2cm. Pin then machine stitch in place, removing the pins as you go. Step 5) To make the channel for the curtain pole, press under the measurement of the pole circumference plus 4cm along the top of each curtain then turn under the raw edge by 2cm. Pin then machine stitch in place 1mm from the folded-under edge, removing the pins as you go. Step 6) Carefully thread the pole through the channel at the top of the curtain. Reposition the pole above the door, checking that it is level and that it is sitting at the same height as it was when you measured up. Step 7) Pin the bottom hem by turning under 2cm. Check that the hem looks straight then machine stitch in place, removing the pins as you go.
