I did some sewing over the weekend and wanted to take pictures for a tutorial on finishing seam allowances without a serger, but just didn't have the time. I plan on getting to it sometime this week! For now, here's a short tutorial I posted on my ebay group, a how-to on turning a nice, clean point. I usually use the method for collars and ends of sashes for dresses. I
think I saw it on "Sew Much More", Susan Khalje's sewing program, that is no longer in production. I wish it was...I always learn something new!
1. Picture of how I sewed 'off the corner'
2. Same, the seamlines intersect at the point
3. Fold over one of the seam allowances
4. Fold over the other seam allowance
5. Use the point turner to hold the folds in place,
then turn the point (sorry, only 2 hands, couldn't get a pic of this stage!)
6. Picture of finished collar
7. Close up of the nice, sharp point
