If a corner has lost sharpness, pinch it into shape and pin it about ¹⁄₄in (6mm) from the corner (Fig 15). Keep the pin in position until the folded square has been joined to another.

2 Start with a double stitch at the corner, not a knot as this will pop through to the front and show. Oversew the two edges together, spacing the stitches regularly about ¹⁄₁₆in (1.5mm) apart (Fig 16). This stitch is also known as whip-stitching and is used to join together hexagons and other shapes that have been tacked over papers as English patchwork.

3 Remove the end pin as you approach it. Finish with two stitches on top of each other and then stitch back a couple of stitches before running the needle through just the bottom layer of fabric for ¹⁄₂in (1.3cm) or so and cutting the thread. Once the two folded units are joined together, move on to Adding the Windows on page 22.
