To create a nice, sharp corner in a very
deep angle that will be turned (like those
often found on a shirt collar, but in this
case, possibly a stuffed animal ear!) sew
a squared-off corner instead of a pointy
corner. Doing this will actually give you a
sharper corner once your item is turned.
To do this, stop stitching a little more
than 5/8" (or whatever your seam
allowance is) from the edge of your fabric.
Leave your needle down in your fabric, lift
your presser foot, and pivot your fabric 45
degrees. Place your presser foot down
and sew one or two stitches. Leave your
needle down in your fabric, lift your
presser foot again, and pivot your fabric
until the next fabric edge is against the
deep angle that will be turned (like those
often found on a shirt collar, but in this
case, possibly a stuffed animal ear!) sew

When sewing around a curve (such as the tip of a stuffed animal paw, the top of a stuffed
animal ear, or the circumference of a stuffed animal head), try switching to a smaller stitch
length, which may help you sew the curve more accurately.
And just a word of caution: If you’re making a stuffed animal intended for a baby or toddler,
don't add any buttons or embellishments that could accidentally come off and become a choking
hazard.
