If you've seen our Pillow with Piping and Invisible Zipper ( • How to Sew a Pillow wi... ) and still have questions or ahem someone's hair got in the way at a critical moment, watch this one. We film the piping and zipper process from different angles and as close as we can so you can see the ins and outs of attaching piping (including joining it together) as well as attaching an invisible zipper to that piping. Enjoy!

This by far the best piping and zipper install video I have watched (and I have watched a LOT of them!). Your trick to match up the piping on the bias is brilliant! Your zipper technique for matching up the ends also brilliant I have not seen those done and I’ve always wondered how to make sure both sides of the zipper are matched up .. now I know. Thank you for this video and kudos to your camera person. They did a stellar job! I finally feel ready to install an invisible zipper and piping.
Thank you so much!! I am thrilled that it gave a new prospective! You got this!
I learned SO MUCH about making piping and pillows and invisible zippers from this video (and I'd watched a few others before it)! For instance when making piping I won't try to sew so close to the cord anymore, knowing I need to later sew between that stitching and the cord for the final pillow construction. Also, when closing the pillow, flipping to the side of the pillow that shows that stitching was something I would never have thought of. Your piping closing technique is also so much cleaner and less bulky than the one I learned in another video. I could go on, but I'll stop here and say thank you and that I'll be following your channel!
I am so excited to read your comment! Thank you very much for taking the time to give feedback. Continue to check back for new videos and if you ever want to see something specific, let us know!

That was such a nice tutorial. Can you tell me more about those Little scissors you were using? Are those fiskars
They are Fiskars! They have such a sharp tip! They are rag snips, but I use them for anything where I need precision close cut: www.beyondfabricinc.com/shop/c/p/Easy-Action-Rag-Quilt-Snip-x35878705.htm
I’ve found that on fabric that frays a lot I like to serge the the pillow but found it sort of shrinks the fabric slightly so when sewing the two pieces together, I have to stretch it a little.
Check your tension on your serge stitch- also length the stitch more since you are using it only to prevent the fraying. That should help!
Can this be done with a non-invisible zipper?
If you use a non-invisible zipper, you will see the teeth because on a coil zipper the teeth are on top instead of underneath the tape like on an invisible zipper.
I used to use Wonder tape because it doesn’t gum up your needle but lately I find it doesn’t stick to the fabric well.
That stinks! We use the Dritz brand or the By Annie Basting tape and have not had any issues. Try one of those.
@@BeyondFabric will the Annie basting tape gum up your needle?
So you do not use an invisible zipper foot but standard zipper foot? 16:42
That is correct. You can use an invisible foot if you choose, but I find it easier to use the adjustable one, especially if I am putting it in a pillow with piping.
@@BeyondFabric I never saw an invisible zipper foot. Must be because it's invisible? LOL, just kidding, but I truly never heard of one before. I seriously must be living under a rock.
Evidently that doesnt gum up your needle?
The basting tape goes on the very edge or your fabric and zipper tape, so you are not actually sewing through it.
