    Why didn’t I think of that 😆, cutting and folding in a tab ?😱 So much easier to hand close!!!!!! You are the only one I have seen stuff the corners with batting. 🥰 Love the ladder stitch. Such a great job, thank you for taking time out of your weekend.🥰

    I don't usually comment much, but I had to pop in and say I am loving these tutorials! Now that I've seen you do a pillow with the ladder stitch, I have to go back and take apart a pillow that I whip stitched and re-stitch it with the ladder stitch. It looks so much neater, and I like it much better than the method with the slit in the back. Thank you!

    @BrandiTalmadge 3 года назад +1

    Great job! I never thought of leaving a tab of extra fabric at the closing area - I've always had to fiddle with that 1/4" fold of fabric, not anymore, thanks to you! I'll have to go back to watch your other tutorial(s) to learn more about why you stuff the corners with quilt batting. As I sit here and think about it, it would make sense to me that it would give the corners additional structure - I've had difficulty with achieving nice structure in my corners with using just fiber fill. I'll be trying that trick as well. Thank you so much - have a blessed day! ☺️

  • @2teddybearz
    @2teddybearz 3 года назад +4

    Wonderful Tutorial Artie! What a beautiful finish! What I have started doing when I sew the back to front, at the opening, I don't backstitch and cut the thread. I pivot 90 degrees and sew off the 1/4" on both start and finish. That way I don't have the "pulling stitching" when I hand sew to close. It also helps keep the "tabs" stuck inside the project better.
