How to Get Crisp Corners

One of the simplest things that you can do when sewing that will make your piece look professional is to ensure that all of the corners are properly turned so that they are crisp. Having bunched up fabric in the corner of a piece (especially if it is a collar) will make your garment look unprofessional and homemade. One of the easiest tricks to prevent this is to cut the excess fabric in the corners and use a blunt object to push it out when flipped right side out.

You can also sew a small thread into the corner and use that to pull the corner to a perfect point at the end.
