contrasting fabric inside box pleat

16 years ago

I'm hoping to make a tablecloth for a rectangular table. I've seen some very attractive tableclothes with inverted box pleats at the corners. I'd like to make one of those tableclothes with contrasting fabric inside the box pleats. Although I've found very clear directions for making box pleats online, I have not been able to find any directions telling how to insert a bit of contrasting fabric inside the box pleats. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also, I would appreciate any suggestions as to the best way to "turn the corner" as I sew the side panel around the top part of the tablecloth.

I'm not a seasoned sewer, but am pretty patient and willing to try most anything.

Thank you.
