Biscornu (offset square cushion)

Step 13 Turn a corner

When you reach a corner, you may need to stitch more than once through the backstitch, especially if your edges are an odd number of stitches long. If your thread colour is the same as the backstitch colour, this will not show. Corners are the best time to make sure that your edges are still lined up, and to make corrections if necessary. If desired, you can slip a bead onto your thread at this point and stitch it into the corner.

NOTE: The tinier your biscornu and the thicker your fabric, the harder it will be to turn a clean corner. You may have to snip a little of the excess border fabric from the inside of the biscornu to make the corner turn properly.
