We tend to give gift cards for Christmas since we live some distance from family. The directions for this came from Kenny's Korner at Embroidery Library. The embroidery design was a freebie somewhere along the line. I used the font on my machine to add the initial. 12 of these were made. I used denim for the blue fabric. It was a bit too heavy to turn and get sharp corners. It took a lot longer to do than I expected but I'm pleased with them.

Dear Carolyn - to get really pointy corners - cut across the corners making sure you have the two intersecting rows of stitches still in tact. It takes out the excess thickness at the point.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your families.

Love and blessings Chris

I did do that but still a bit bulky. thank you.

It seems counter-intuitive, but if you sew your seam, stopping just shy of the corner (needle down position), then sew one or two stitches diagonally, stop again with needle down, and turn to sew the other seam, you will find that, after trimming the excess, you will get a much sharper corner. This works well with bulky fabrics, but also with lighter weight fabrics, too. Try this with collars, you will like the results.

I think these turned out very nice, even though you may think that the rounded corners don't look as nice. I bet everyone loved them - we sewers are often too critical of our own work, and notice things no one else does!
