    What an incredible woman! Multi-tasking 4 ways at once: watching baby, sewing, teaching, making TH-cam video. Wow! And your instructions are so clear and the video is so well paced. I bought Sesame Street fabric and will use your instructions to make pillows cases for my young grandchildren.

    I had watched other tutorials on these cases before but this had the most clear instructions for making the French Seams. I get it now. Thanks.

    I followed this tutorial and made a matching pillowcase for my granddaughters appliqued quilt I just finished making her. I followed the instructions in the video exactly, and used left-over fabric from the quilt. The pillowcase came out perfect, and was very simple to make! And no raw edges inside the pillowcase, so it looks professionally made. It will always launder well and look as good as new. Thanks for your videos! I always love watching and learning from you!

    I used your tutorial to make 3 pairs of pillow case with my 2 grandsons and their father's favorite things. For the youngest he wanted outer space and planets, big brother wanted marvel comics and dad wanted Mickey mouse. They were definitely happier with these instead of socks or underwear in their stockings. I am one of those practical givers. Of course I give toys when you are younger, but once you get in your teens I figure money works better and they can save and get what they want. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year.

    Thank you so much for sharing. Your tutorial is excellent, it is extremely easy to follow. The close up on sandwiching the layers of fabric makes it easier to understand. I was amazed when you pulled the pillowcase through the tube. I tried it and to my surprise it worked for me! I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. You inspired me I am now one of your subscribers.

  • @carolg.6838
    @carolg.6838 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you for this great tutorial. I need help. I am making flannel with the flange so the 3 layers are thick. First it is hard to pull the roll out. Then it is very difficult to sew the side seams over the flange. Ripping out stitches in flannel risks cutting a thread of fabric. Size 12 needle...should it be larger? Maybe I will try a walking foot. to Was lifting foot to move fabric, sew, repeat. Got thread nests. Thank you in advance for any replies.

    • @QuiltAddictsAnonymous
      @QuiltAddictsAnonymous  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would try using a denim needle. Also press the seams open to avoid bulk and go very slow over them so you do not break a needle. I do also think a walking foot would be your best bet.

  • @rosemariewilson6074
    @rosemariewilson6074 ปีที่แล้ว

    Did I catch the measurements correctly? Length was:
    3/4 yard or 27" + 2.5" + 9 " = 38.5 " (queen pillowcase?) What was the width of the fabric you used? What would you add in inches for a King pillowcase?

    • @QuiltAddictsAnonymous
      @QuiltAddictsAnonymous  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Close. The 2.5 inch strip doesn't add to the length so you have the 27" + (9/2) - .5 which equals 31 inches. For a king, I add 2 inches to the body, making it 29 inches, and 1 inch to the cuff, making it 10 inches. The width of all the fabrics were 42 inches.

  • @valeriespackman4019
    @valeriespackman4019 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you pre-wash your fabric for the pillow cases? What happens if I don’t pre-wash? I hope I get an answer ASAP!

      For a king pillowcase add approximately 5in to the body and 1in to the cuff. Make sure to measure your pillow and make sure it will be long enough to cover it first.
