Sewing Angular Piping

Video Transcript

Okay. So now we've done several different things with our piping. I taught you how to put it on a straightaway. Just straight line. How to install it with the backing on it. And then I showed you how to put it on a curve. How to go in and snip it so it lays nice and round. Now I'm going to teach you how to put a corner with piping. And things that would have a corner would be something like a pillow. Maybe a purse, around the edge of a purse. And it's real simple. it's just basically a 90 degree angle with piping. And so what we're going to do. We're going to find, you can use one piece of fabric and we're going to basically simulate a corner on a pillow. So I'm just going to cut about this much off. And I'm just going to, I think I'll make a mark right here at where I want my corner to be. So that looks good. Okay. So I'm just going to start right up here and put my foot down. And of course I want to backstitch. Even though this is a usable product we are still going to backstitch. And remember don't pull this at all. Because it's not a curve. It's a straightaway. We just want to let it lay right there. Don't pull the fabric. Don't pull anything. Just let it lay. And if you have to, if you don't feel comfortable doing that, you can pin it so you'll know that you're doing it right. And I want you to come right up to it. Where this mark is. Just right to the edge and backstitch. That's perfect. Okay. And now what we're going to do. We're going to make a snip from the edge all the way to that one seam that you just made that's perpendicular to this other chalk mark. And don't cut the back side. Just cut the piping edge. And just right up to it. It doesn't even matter if you maybe cut little thread on there because it's going to stay on there. Then what you want to do is pick it up and just turn it. There you go. So that makes a nice right angle right there. There we go. So now I'm going to get my piping foot and I'm going to lay it down right on top. It's kind of squishing this over here but that's no big deal. And if it doesn't want to go, hold it, maybe pick it up, re-situate it. There we go. Put it back down. Remember, no pulling this way. No pulling this way. Holding it gently. Letting it just glide underneath your sewing machine. There we go. Okay now that we have this part in the next clip I'm going to show you how to put the other side of the fabric on then flip it out and make sure that everything looks right.
