Due to some severe health problems, I have been forced to spend most of my day sitting and resting. To fill the time, I have taken up sewing with a passion. Your tutorials and patterns are fabulous, and 'dumbed down' to my level just enough to keep me thinking but not lost and frustrated. Thank you for making the hours pass a little quicker!

Turn the end of the fabric at a 90 degree angle and start sewing. When you get to the end, do the same thing. You don't have to sew over the bulky piping, and get a very smoothe connection where the piping "joins" at the end. You can also do this on items where the piping doesn't do a "full circle".
