"Hello! My name is Lindsay on behalf of Expert Village.com. In this clip, I am going to be showing you how to flip the pillow inside out and sewing the edges. This is the front of the pillow so we are going to take it and turn it inside out like we have before and you should have where you made the markings from the first step, laying right on top. Make sure that you have it lined up. Okay. And then where you made the 1 inch markings along the edges that is where we are going to be sewing. You can use the same thread that you use for the gimp or you can change threads. Whatever color thread you use, it really won’t be seen because it is going to be inside the pillow. So you are going to take your pillow, make sure you got it lined up and you are going to start sewing on that line. I am going to use a straight stitch for this one. When you get to the end, you are going to leave about a 4 to 5 inch opening so that you can be able to stuff the pillow and be able to get your hand in it too to flip it inside out. "
