- Trim the wadding and turn over the seam allowance on the top and backing fabrics.
- Press and pin the two fabrics together
- Stitch either by hand with 2 rows of running stitch or use a decorative stitch.
- At the corners fold top seam one way and the bottom seam the other and match up with stitching.
