M N
Start stitching again at the 23⁄4" mark and continue sewing at
a 1⁄2" from the edge.
O P
Remember to reinforce the corners as you stitch.
NOTE: Reinforcing the corners is essential so that you
don't rip any seams when you turn your project.
Stop again at the 23⁄4" mark on the other side and tie off
the stitch.
Q R
Repeat the the technique shown in steps M - P with the last
corner. Start at the 1" mark on the side, then stop at the 21⁄2"
mark at the top.
Once stitched together, remove the pins and trim the excess
bulk from the corners.
Stop at the 1" mark for the channel and tie off the stitch. Then,
drop the needle once more at the 23⁄4" mark from earlier.
NOTE: We suggest reinforcing the corners by reversing
and stitching over again at each turn!
