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!
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.
I just finished my first little pillow and used your video extensively. The piping that I used was too stiff and it is fine for outdoors, but I think I have learned a lesson from that. It was more like plastic. Thanks for your video!
This was the perfect companion video to your first. I am a big fan of your channel. Thanks for making my home sewing look much more professional, and allowing me to sew with more expertise and less confusion!
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.
this video refers to another one shown onscreen as "the one with all the hair", but I couldn't find it or any that said it had the basic instructions for a beginner...I need to watch that one first. Anyone know how I can view it?
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
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.
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.

Step by step. Easy to understand the whole process. Thank you very much.
Thank you! Hope it helped :)

Thank you so much!! I am thrilled that it gave a new prospective! You got this!

Excellent video. Very detailed. Going to try this ! Thank you
Thank you! Happy sewing!
Thanks SO much for redoing this close up -- very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video the lighter fabric and camera angle was wonderful !!! It answered a lot of question .
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! This answered many questions I had from the first one.
You are very welcome! So glad it helped.
Thank you. This made your original video the best way to add a zipper with piping.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!

Thanks! We still have more curtains to add and other fun projects! Thank you so much for watching!
Love your technique, best video! I have never used zipper tape but might give in and try now😉
You will never do it any other way after you try it! :) Thank you for watching!
Great tutorial and very good camera work!
Thank you so much!
Excellent Tutorial! This one is my favorite! It works better with my brain, lol. Thank you!
So happy to hear it helped!
Best video ever
Appreciate that! Hope it helped!
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!
Great video, thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!

Here is that first video: ua-cam.com/video/1UWY-p3uCf8/v-deo.html
Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions!
This in an excellent video. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
12 noon it would be ideal to use a solid color fabric to tell the difference between front snd back
Thank you for your suggestion.
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 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.

Very usefull
Glad to hear! Thank you!
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.
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.
