Variations of a mitred corner: Self-turned-up corners are worked mainly on the wrong side of the material. The
main material is turned to the wrong side and folded in place; This type of corner always forms an outward corner.

See the other methods of mitring which are explained below to use a separate strip or band to form the corners.
They all can be finished as inward or outward corners.
Mitring with flat tape or ribbon is done mainly to create a decorative effect on the right side. The size of the
garment material remains the same. (Fig 5)

Mitring with banding always extends the size of a garment (material). It is used to give a decorative effect as a
border or it is used for alteration of length etc., e.g. in children’s garments. The banding is always finished on a
double layer. (Fig 6)
