How to Sew Trim to Decorative Pillows

So I would sew that all the way around and that would be the last step in decorating the front part of our decorative pillow. Also right down the middle in the gimp, I would do this slowly so I would not mess up the pattern on the trim. Right along the edge where the gimp that is the center portion of the pillow is to do it slowly so the gimp does not get out of line.
