They're mostly just straight-line sewing. The dimensions are 18" by 24", fold the edges down twice and iron them flat, sew the corners, then sew the straight line seams. <BR/><BR/>As for the mitered corners, I learned how to do it from the July 2008 issue of <I>Threads</I> magazine. I've tried to find it online, but I don't think they ever put the instructions up. Perhaps your library or a friend who sews would have a copy for you to look at. <BR/><BR/>But if all else fails, I learned that most dish towels don't even have mitered corners. When I was making them, I started examining my store-bought towels and discovered that almost all of them are just sewn straight across without nice, finished corners.Anne Marie@Married to the Empirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600919522369171555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9147208685448049005.post-79701924111197056072008-09-10T18:52:00.000-05:002008-09-10T18:52:00.000-05:00This si off the topic, (sorry) but would you mind ...This si off the topic, (sorry) but would you mind posting a tutorial on the dish towels you made for wedding gifts.
