    This is the best tutorial. You are the first one to explain about the zipper foot and actually stating the fact that feet have to be switched out. I also appreciate that you show how to sew the pillow step by step.

    I have watched several videos to make a pillow cover with a zipper and yours is the best and easiest. My home ec teacher (1963-1967) would be amazed. I don't remember zippers were this easy back then. We only made clothing, but crafting is much more fun and not nearly as stressful.

  • @curtriceennis2924
    @curtriceennis2924 2 роки тому

    I agree that this is the best tutorial on putting a zipper into a pillowcase. It explains in more detail what each step should be. I've been searching for such a video because I'm making my own pillows due to the fact the store bought ones are all either too soft or too firm for me. Also, this method seems to make an invisible zipper for your pillows which is a wonderful "plus 👍." TYSM for sharing this video with us.

My stitches have been off and slipping and it's been a nightmare. Thank you Soo much for your simple effective method! Also, you was totally awesome when you jus folded that pillow b4 putting it in. I woulda been struggling. Lol. God bless you! Going to be using 2 (Frozen themed), fat quarters to make my daughter a lil pillow an wanted to know how to put the zipper in. Never worked with zippers b4. Thank you again! An God bless!
