Sewing Round Pillow Fabric

Video Transcript

"Okay, so now we're ready to start sewing this pillow closed, so just I want you to take a quick look on the inside. Well, this mark and this mark, I want to leave this open, so I'm going to start here. But I want to peek in first and I notice that the fabric of the piping will still roll over. So I just want you to be aware that when you're sewing to make sure you push it down and hold it down. And I'll walk you through it while we're sewing also, so, you'll know to remember to keep doing that. So I'm going to set the foot right down on top of the piping again, I'm still using that piping foot, and I'm looking underneath, and I'm seeing that it's rolling a little bit, just push it down just like that. Okay. So start in back stitch, very important to do that. And you can just feel it with your hand, you can hold it down, you can feel that piping right in here and you're just going, your foot just wants to be on top of the piping so that's a really good guideline for you to sew on. Go. And you look under here, I'm going to take this pin out so I can get a good look. See it's trying to roll up a little bit, just push it down. Hold the fabric on top. If you have real shifty fabric you might want to put more pins than I did, but this fabric is pretty sturdy and pretty stable, and I am just going to use that many pins, okay. And just keep making sure it lays down because it will try to roll. And in the next clip we're going to talk about cutting all that extra fabric off and how we're going to deal with that roll, see how that rolls all up like that, just push it down, it's no big deal. Okay. And we're almost to our stopping point, everything's looking really good, smoothed out. You need to constantly look at how everything looks together, just in case you're making a mistake. There you go, and here we are again. This is our corner where we need to stop. I want to make sure that this is nice distance away from each other and there's no rolls underneath, okay. And here we are, right there, new back stitch, okay, so now we have the two fabrics sewn together, and the next step is for us to trim all this excess fabric out and we'll do that in the next clip."
