Your question is reasonable, but the main goal is to create a pillow cover that is smaller than the pillow form. If we added the amount for seam allowance (one inch) then the pillow cover would equal the size of the pillow form and it would not be a nice tight fit. In upholstery making you will find “no hard fast rules” instead you should do what works best for you. It is our opinion that a 1” smaller pillow cover (even after seams) results in a tightly fitting cover over a pillow form.
This is one of the best tutorials that I've ever seen. The detailed instructions and actual assembly are excellent. Thank you so much for such good directions. I THINK I will be able to do this going step by step with you. Thanks!!
who is that lovely lady. She did an excellent job. Does she sew on the side. making for those who have two left hands? Give her a raise. Love this video
One of the best "how to" videos I have seen. Admittedly I had to rewatch the calculation part several times however the end result was a beautiful bolster pillow. Very concise instructions.
Perfect! I was looking online to buy a cover, but then realized I should make one myself with a lil love and just the right tutorial. Thank you. Looking forward to watching the ones for adding piping :)
There certainly is great value in learning from professionals. This video is very well done and every step was so clearly explained. I had no questions whatsoever, which is unusual for me. Sewing videos require quite a bit of description and precise instructions. This video is great!
I don't have a neckroll pillow yet, but you've got me thinking now. I really like the look of these, and this great video makes me think I can actually make one myself. Great explanation and video!
As a mature and experienced sewer I know how tough it is to not have the use of that necessary finger. Wonder what happened. Very good video, you covered the subject well.
i only needed the part where you stitch on the circles (from 8:50 on - step 4). i guess there is no easy way of doing it! i tried to make bolster pillows way back and failed miserably with that. this really helps... knowing to make the matching marks and knowing how not to stretch the fabric when you stitch around. thanks! : )
Los felicito a pesar de no entender el idioma en que explican el tutoriales me encanto el paso a paso muy clara la explicación y detallada que la barrera del idioma no me importo y vi todos sus vídeos quiero empezar ya gracias
Totally off-topic, but I can't help but think the narrator has the exact same voice of the announcer at the Westminster Dog Show! Now, video was very well done!
I was experimenting with your measurements on my pillow form. The math did not fit the pillow. (5.5 -1)x 3.14 = 14.13 + 2.25 = 16.38 That was not near enough material for my 18 inch pillow form. When I went to your video with the bolster and piping the measurement part was perfect for my pillow. Plus the info to actually measure around the pillow helped. If I took my 5.5 and added 1 then x 3.14 it made the number measurement work giving me 20.41 then adding 1 inch for seam it then would work. When I soft tape measured my pillow it was 19 inches around. I am sure glad I didn't cut the material according to the directions on this video.
First, the finished cover is supposed to be SMALLER than the pillow form for a tight fit. Second, if your pillow measured more than 17 1/4" around, the diameter was bigger than 5 1/2".
If that were true, then yes, you should rip it up and do it again. However, we did not do that for this project. At 19:55 we show one end then the other end as the needle exits the pillow.
Great video and simple to follow. Thank you for posting it. I do have one question. Since you decided to use Velcro, I would think the customer would then be able to remove the cover and wash it, yes? Wouldn't the tufted buttons make it harder to remove the cover?
The fabric covered buttons are a possible option that we wanted to show, but it is not required. the Velcro closure is still useful as long as the user does not install the buttons or if the user cuts the cord of the button to remove the pillow form and re-installs it again (after all we are showing DIY projects) after the cover is washed.
What's the point of using Velcro to make the cover washable but then fixing it with end buttons? Otherwise very informative and clear. Well done Deb! .
Yes, you can get the hotknife sent to Malaysia. We stock a new hotknife called the Sailrite Edge Hotknife Package (part #103799 is 220 Volt) or (part #103800 is 110 Volt). This new hotknife is less expensive and a complete package. Visit: sailrite.com for more information.
Thank you for the wonderful video. Very helpful! I was thinking I'd need a zipper for mine. I didn't even think of Velcro. I just have the same concern as another poster. I want a cover that is removable so it can be washed but it seems like the buttons would make it non-removable?
Glad you liked the video! You are correct the buttons on the end do make it difficult to wash the cover without the insert. However, if you are ok with just sewing buttons on the ends without compressing them into the pillow you could just sew them onto the two round barrel ends without going through the pillow insert with a string or line.
She is wroking really professinal..You can see all the work from the years on her hands... i'm impressed !!!
Deb is very skilled! Her hands are beautiful to me because I also sew for my job and mine show signs of my craft also! Great video!
Thanks for your positive comments!
You are welcome!

We are glad you like it! She did a great job.

Eric, you tell Deb' she did a textbook job on that pillow. Enjoyed seeing her make that circle lay out so nicely. Enjoy your videos.
One of the best "how to" videos I have seen. Admittedly I had to rewatch the calculation part several times however the end result was a beautiful bolster pillow. Very concise instructions.
I like the way she works, thank u so much ma'am.
This video îs so helpful. My booster pillow is perfect. Thank you
Fantastic! Very easy-to-understand presentation. I've made these pillows before, but you have shown be a much better way. Thanks!!!!
I LOVE your videos! Clear and clean stitching! They are so helpful!

Yes, the button makes it difficult to remove the pillow insert, but we wanted to show how button forms are done, you can opt not to install them.

Pi (3.14) is commonly defined as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter.
