I have a couple contours that are sewn together and look like they are perfectly joined and are as smooth as can be but when I go to put a fillet on it won't do the whole corner. I've attached an image. Please let me know if anybody has any tips. I keep running into this issue when surface designing.

Hello,

first: try change tolerance value.

Second: try use face blend.
Third: You must add face bellow existing faces.

MANox: What do you mean by adding a face below existing faces?
 
Hello Jashe,

I mean: extrude free edges and sew new faces with existing sheet body, and after try add blend:

I agree with Manox, it's those bottom edges that are causing the failure.
extend them so the bland has somewhere to attach to. Or do a Face Blend and turn off all the trimming and sewing options, then trim it out manually.
