You saved my life. I couldn't get the pillow to stay closed. I had to finish two pillows for a party tomorrow. Your instructions helped me get them finished quick. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and technique!! I know zero about sewing, but decided to try by recovering a pillow. This was just what I needed for my project!
Thank you! Decades ago I sewed all the time. You are helping me regain my skills through your great tutorials. Please show us how to make an envelope closing and also, please give us your thoughts on selecting the best kind of backing for our pillow covers. You are doing a great job here!
Thank you so much for this video! I was having a HECK of a time with some memory pillows....could not get that seam to look right. You solved my problem! Thank You! Thank You!
You explain things so Clearly to Understand and in the beginning I was confused as to why you Ironed the Flap.. Not sure what it called.. but in the end I understood.. 1 it made a cleaner line to match to other side and 2 made it easier to identify a good place to pin and hold Pillow.. I know I need to continue working on my lines as you suggested before starting my Pillow.. But I am getting better.. Thank You..
Yes!! Pushing the pillow insert in 2” & pinning it back made all the difference! Thank you 😊 What kind of iron do you use… & would you recommend it to your viewers?
I love the measuring/cutting method to avoid the “dog ears”. Any video/suggestions on putting in a zipper closure? Does the slight curvature of seam line make it more difficult? I’m thinking a full length zipper.
Hello I did find this video informative but im wanting know do I need to use a different foot to sew a closure for a pillow?!... or can I just use a standard foot.. im wanting to sew a decorative pillow back that's already been sewn just the thread has come out
You certainly can do that! This video is just to show a way to machine sew it closed without having to wrestle with it too much. Machine sewing is simply faster, easier, and can be stronger as well.

You're welcome! Glad I could help :)
Thank you so much! I made an overlapped lombar pillow and was having no luck getting the pillow form into it...your trick is magic!!!
So Happy I just found you!
So happy you found me too! 😄
Genius, how many times have I struggled through this. Thanks.
New to sewing. What foot? And what stitch? A straight line or zigzag? Thanks!
Regular foot. Medium stitch length. Straight stitch :)

Thank you! Envelope pillow is a great idea. I’ll add it to the list :) What do you mean by “pillow backing”?
Thank you madam
I love your channel so much
I wish I had seen this yesterday. I ended up stitching eight cushion covers by hand.
🫤 bummer

This was a great tutorial video. Thank you do much for sharing this skill. Be Blessed.

So glad it made sense after a second view! The flap is called a "seam allowance". Keep at it - you're doing great, and practice makes perfect :)
@@ASquarePillowIsntSquare I have a question about flange on a pillow and adding piping..... Will try to send a pic

I use a Rowena Perfect Steam. I’m going to do a review of it at some point but yes, overall I’m quite happy with it!
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I have learned so much! Ty!

I made a video on how to install an invisible zipper. Look for it on my channel! And yes you can follow the curve when you put in the zipper :)
I love this lady
@@tyleetomlinson935 😊
This solved my problem. Thank you!
Wonderful class!
Love your tutorials! I’ve been having a heck of a time finding a decent pillow form. Might I ask where you would recommend? Thanks 😊
A good home dec fabric store should have them! (Not the craft stores like JoAnns)
Thank you
This is so helpful! 😁
How do you sew lace on a square 18x18" pillow cover?
Thank u so much that was helpfull

If it’s a plain edge pillow (no cord or trim) a standard foot works great. If there is cord trim trim I’ll usually use a zipper foot :)
@@ASquarePillowIsntSquare thank you so much for the suggestion
You push the pillow form and hold with a a pin... like why have I never thought of this?!? 🤯🤯🤯
I didn't know this trick for a long time either!
Hi there, different question…what is the mat you use that is marked with lines and you iron on…. Can you cut on that as well? What is it called?
I measure, cut, and iron on my table! I’ll be making a video on how I build my work table in the near future :)
@@ASquarePillowIsntSquare that would be sooo awesome! Do I subscribe to make sure I don’t miss it?
Yes, if you subscribe you’ll get notified when I drop a new video :)
👏
Why wouldn’t you whip stitch it closed?
You certainly can do that! This video is just to show a way to machine sew it closed without having to wrestle with it too much. Machine sewing is simply faster, easier, and can be stronger as well.
