Step 1: With right sides together, pin or clip the front and back of your bookmark.
Step 2: Line up your fabric with the right side of the presser foot and remember to back-stitch at the first and last stitches. Sew the two pieces together on three sides, using pivot corners, leaving the smaller top end open.
Step 3: Clip all four corners to have less fabric bulk at the corners when you turn it inside out.
Step 4: Turn the bookmark right side out and use a blunt object to help push the corners out
Step 5: Tuck the open ends inside the bookmark so it creates a squared edge on the folds.
Step 6: Press the seams, don’t iron them, to have all of the seams laying flat.
Step 7: With a ⅛ seam allowance top-stitch around all four sides of your bookmark, back-stitching at the beginning and the end and using pivot corners to keep your thread one continuous line.
TIP: start in the middle of one of the long edges so that you’re not trying to start on a bulky corner.
