Mark Square Corner With Pricking Iron

[chouinardragon]

Hi ,

I have problem doing the square corner with #10 Vergez Blanchard's pricking iron. The stitch of the square is not good.

Please see the attached photo which shows the way I mark the square corner. Any tips?

I am just thinking out loud, but I believe it would work better if you brought the left side up to the corner and then do the top.......I don't have a pricking iron but it seeems to flow better in my mind. JMHO

Use a single on the corner.

I know a guy that uses a very small hole punch on corners to get a better turn, seems to work well. 1/16 should do it if you can find it

If it were me, I'd want all my pricks to line up in the same direction. Otherwise your stitches might look odd.

any illustration to show me how to do it?
