"Hi, I'm Candi Cane Canncel with Expert Village. We are really working on a fun appliquéd throw pillow. We already attached our appliquéd and put in our zipper now the last step is to actually stitch up the sides of the pillow. You are just going to go ahead and pin the remaining three sides of your pillow all the way across. Making sure that it is really flat and what I like to do before I stitch it is to actually take my pillow insert and line it up and see. In this case my pillow ended up being a little bit smaller than my fabric of the pillow so what I'm going to do a bigger seam allowance. In this case I'll do about an inch seam allowance all the way around and then it should work out perfectly. Take it to the machine and you are ready to sew. Then you are ready to stitch your last seam."
