I came across a great tip that I thought might interest you...when you sew something inside out that has to then be turned right side out & the hole has to be stitched up.... if when you are sewing the inside out part you stitch off the edge in a square on both ends pic #1 when you flip it rightside out the fold line becomes quite obvious & sew much easier to stitch on the proper line. No more guessing where it should be folded under. I think this is a valuable tip as many things must be stitched like this....blankets stuffed animals quilts runners you name it ..............I hope that you think so too

Yup I forgot to mention that, thanks Bev. I wish I knew this so many other times when I am guessing on the folds.

158716Yup, been doing this for years...as another note to inside out and turning...like for in-the-hoop items...when I digitize them, I add those stitches to the design file so when I cut around the "shape"...I cut down and then across and then back up to the other side of the opening...making a tab...when you turn it right side out...the tab is very easy to tuck in and then whip stitch closed...same principle as the stitched "tab"...
