This was so helpful! Having the zipper teeth ride on "top" of the cording was something I'd never done but the outcome is what I was looking for. And finishing the other side with topstitching was a perfect way to finish. Thank you for this very helpful video!
Thanks so much. Perfectly clear. I do it exactly as you do EXCEPT that last bit of making the lip on the back panel. Very interesting, I had never seen it like that and will try it next time. Thanks again
Anything I need to do differently when putting a zipper into a needlepoint pillow? I dread zippers but this method seems easier than what I've been doing for years.
For customer pillows yes, I most often serge the pillow cuts before sewing. This is a sample to show the zipper method - not a "real" customer! The topstitching prevents the zipper from showing when the pillow is stuffed.
Finally! The lesson I needed. Thank you.

You don’t serge the seams? I’ve never heard of doing the topstitching.
