How to Sew Pointier Corners
To create nice, sharp corners in a very deep angle that will be turned, like that on a shirt
collar, stop stitching slightly 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 seam guide. Put your presser foot down and
continue sewing.
Your stitching will be squared off at the tip of the corner instead of coming to a point,
which will actually create a sharper point once your item is turned.
