Life makes sense when ppl have education like ur video
Best. Explanation. EVER!!! I am not a sewer, but I was able to make 14 throw cushion covers thanks to your clear, step-by-step instructions. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
We are glad to help. Good job!!!!
This is seriously one of the best tutorials I've ever watched. You make things so clear and easy to understand. Thank you! I've even shared it with my sister-in-law who just started sewing.
+Jeremy Race I am so glad you like it and that you shared it with your sister-in-law.
+Jeremy Race I agree, so easy to understand - the best sowing tutorial I have used! I have made the BEST pillows in different fabrics, I am very thankful. :)

if only we all could sew like that..
lol
This has got to be the best "how to" video I have ever seen period!! Not only was the video quality great but the instruction was very clear and easy to understand! The clarity almost made it a "duh moment"!! I wish you guys made tutorial videos for everything in life! LOL!
She is so experienced and accurate! It's amazing that she can sew that top stitched fold-over without ironing.
Thanks!
She makes it look so easy. For me, sewing in a zipper is most challenging.
Wonderful! It is because of loyal customers like you that make it possible for Sailrite to provide free instructional videos to the general public. Keep sewing. Have fun with the pillow project. Eric
Made me feel better about trying a zipper for the first time.
The best tutorial on TH-cam that I've came across for sewing a zip. I was getting frustrated with the finished ends of the zipper but you have made it so clear to follow. Thank you from Scotland
We are so glad you liked it!
Thank you! After struggling with putting zippers in 2-30"x30" floor pillows, I found this video and constructed the 3rd pillow in 10 minutes. I should have known Sailrite would show me the way! I've watched many other Sailrite "how-to" videos for other projects (covers for our water and fuel cans on our boat), and have ordered parts and sunbrella fabric from Sailrite for the past year or so. Great demonstration!
Great tutorial and the most drool worthy sewing machine I have ever seen..
I'm an extremely skilled...mostly self-ttaught seamstress... I make ballgowns, and fancy blessing gowns...but I've never achieved amazing success. I appreciate the description and demonstration by this intelligent seamstress. I now completly understand how to do sippers....I've never started by sewing the end down! No wonder my zipper ends up being skewampas (sp??)!! Thanks for this informative video.
As a new beginner sewer, this is such a great video...so easy to understand both visually and verbally!! Thank you so much...I am off to purchase fabric and zippers to try my hand at this.
You guys have great sewing videos! The bestI'vesee onTH-cam so far. I would love to see one of lined pinch pleat drapery panels.
This was incredibly detailed and useful! Thank you SO much!
Great tutorial thanks.
Well done!! Thank you!
EXCELLENT demo...Deb does such a great job illustrating and her instructions are easy to follow.
Glad you liked it!!! Thanks.
This is one of the best zipper closure pillow tutorial I have seen :)
Thanks!!!
I have thoroughly enjoyed all the sewing technique videos you have demonstrated and you make it so effortlessly that I can't wait to run out and buy pillow forms and begin sewing. Thank you for demystifying the insertion of a zipper. When it all seemed impossible, you do it with such finesse and ease and I can't thank you enough. Love your videos!!!
+Sonia Feliz Thanks for the positive comment. Enjoy your sewing project!
Thank you so much for this video. Absolutely thorough and easy to understand instructions. Just made two in a relatively short time today for my front porch and they look better than anything I could have bought ready made in the store. Deb, you are a pro! Thank you so much!
Your welcome! Thanks!!!
I'm so glad I just found this video!!! Thank you so much for explaining everything perfectly :)
Great tutorial!! Makes sewing a zipper a breeze. Thanks so much :)
This are the easiest instructions on the web-thank you!
Glad we could help! Let us know if you have any questions.
Deb-you have saved my life!!! AWESOME tutorial, ma’am!!!! Thank you a million!!! ❤️😘🎉🎉🎉
Glad we could help!
Your sewing machine reminds me of my Davis New Verticle Feed Treadle. I was quite surprised. Thank you for your video.
wow! I want to make an outdoor pillow cover for my dog’ bed. Who knew I would find a video for exactly what I wanted. She made it look so easy. I just pray that it is for this newbie. thank you.
You can do it!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. It is very informative. I am always grateful for your advice and demonstration. May God continue to bless you and your channel.
Thanks for this! I bought a machine last week. I've never sewn a stitch, and I made a throw pillow with zipper tonight after watching this video! It's not expertly done, but it's not so bad that I'm going to rip it out either. Awesome video!!
Awesome video..she did an excellent job explaining. was able to make my project correctly, the first time around. Again, awesome, awesome, awesome!
Thank you for this tutorial - clear and well-done! Just one little hint that works well for me: iron the edge before you put in the zipper. I usually iron almost everything I'm going to sew if the material is hard to fold.
Thanks Sail Rite, as usual, very good tutorial.
great vid, cheers from London, Debs
Best tutorial I've seen so far
Sailrite has two videos posted on TH-cam that show how to make throw pillows with piping. We also have a third video showing how to make throw pillows with zipper openings. Since I can not place links in this post box I will give you the title of each so you can search on TH-cam:

Fantastic!! I will go fabric shopping soon...
Excellent tutorial! This was my first time ever attempting a zipper closing on a pillow cover and it turned out amazing. Thank you so much for the help!
Excellent, good job!
Hello Sailrite,..so great to see the instructions video's living in Amsterdam The Netherlands. Sailrite is my favorite! I love the sound of the machine and the relaxed to-the-point voices and voice-over. We need fabric for our garden set so it must be from Sailrite..even if it's al the way from the US. Thanks!! Next tonight..i will be sewing a pillow throw a la Sairite.. greetings Ingrid
I will try this. It seems easy enough, knowing that I've never done this before! But it's nicely done!
Excellent video demonstration!! Thanks you!!
Absolutely perfect video. Deb's very good at this! And the VO talent is well informed (or well scripted!)
Wonderful step by step instructions
Excellent tutorial.
I did it, I did it!!! I finally tried it and now I can't stop making them. I have some tropical heavy curtains and decided that I would use them to practice on. They turned out so great that I decided to keep them and make a set! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Maria Gardner Great job! You are welcome!
Thanks.... Update I have now made 8 20x20 and 8 14x14. My husband loved them! I really appreciate you sharing your talent with us.
Just used this tutorial and made an awesome pillow with a zipper!!! Yay!!!! Thanks again for such a great tutorial!!
I am glad your project turned out so well. Thanks for the positive comments.
Thank you very much for this excellent video. I love this, please bring more sewing videos. I am trying to sew more things with zippers , since they scare me. lol I did sew one zipper two days ago. I am on a roll!!! lol. Talented lady doing this video :)
Thanks for the excellent tutorial!
This was a wonderful video and just what I needed. Though I am working with interior toss pillows and fabrics, I have the confidence now to make ones to go on my deck next summer! I love that sewing machine!! Deb is a very good demonstrator and the voice over by Eric was sometimes repetitive but useful. Thank you again for making this video!
You are welcome! I hope your project comes out great!!!
Thank you for such a good instructional teaching, you just made me not afraid to put a zipper in.... woohoo!

참 좋은부분만 올려주셨네요 감사하게 잘보고가요
Great idea to use a soldering iron to cut the fabric so it doesn't fray, thanks! I like Bella-Dura performance fabric too.

Thank you my friend
What a great video. I'm looking forward to making some pillow covers soon :-)
Man, she is good... Thanks
You make the greatest "how to" videos. Would you please make a video with piping and a zipper?
Getting ready to make a Doggie Bed with my 501A Singer Slant-O-Matic Rockateer. I hope I don't have any problem with the material. It's kind of a faux leather material. I want to also add some embroidry work to the edge once I sew it. I hope I don't have problems with the faux leather and the four layers of seem. It doesn't really need the embroidry work but I just want it to look a little different. Thanks for the excellent instructional video. Done by a professional it looks very easy.
Wonderful video and so easy to follow! Thank you.
Glad you liked it. Let us know if you have any questions about our videos or products at www.sailrite.com
parabens voce e uma profesora ensia perfeitamente
great tutorial !!! I bet you wouldn't mind a dollar for every cushion you've ever made Deb? 😉 thanks I'm going to try this today!
Molto utile grazie
Wow,awesome tutorial.I will be trying this sometime very soon.
Sue, Glad you liked it. Let us know if you have more questions.
By cutting the fabric smaller than the pillow, the cover is much tighter and in our opinion looks better. However, it is not a rule and you can cut the fabric to the exact size of the pillow for a less than tight looking cover.
Useful vedio.. sooper
Very helpful,thanks :)
We are glad you like it. Let us know if you have questions.
Thanks!
Your welcome!
gracias
Best EVER!!!!!
Glad you liked it. Let us know if you have questions.
Good instructions! In my experience it wasn’t necessary to cut the cover smaller than the cushion. When I did so the cushion came out too round like a “muffin top” effect where the pants are small small for the belly!
Sorry, we do not sell the T squares. We picked those up at a local hardware store.
Very nice thank so much zip btane ke leye.thanks
You are welcome!
Yes, you do end up with two rows of stitches on the outside of the fabric. If this bothers you you can use a double sided tape (Seamstick part #129) to hold the folds in place rather than sewing them together. That would result in only one stitch being visible.
or just a iron and use a hand sewn basting stitch that you can remove after right?
The thread will lay on the fabric along the two flange sections holding the zipper in place. So, it will be visible on the fabric itself.
mam u r excellent in ur work. zipper work u made it so easy. thanks a lot
Glad we can help. Let me know if you have any questions.
do we use the normal footer or a zipper footer for this?
There are so many different ways to do zippers . . . I was taught to baste stitch the seam closed and place the zipper face down then after sewing, use a seam ripper to open the zipper seam. I would be concerned sewing an open zipper that it may not line up well. After sewing one side I might choose to zip close and check alignment. Great video as always . . . thanks so much!
You are correct! I have tried all kinds of ways to sew zippers and each has advantages and a few disadvantages.
Nice
Wow this look easy
It is not too difficult. Let us know if you have questions.
I loved your video...I was just wondering how you would put a zipper on a Euro pillow with a flange?
Thank you! Louise
That sounds like a great future video. I will add it to my long list.
my thread is red aswell as my zipper. but my fabric is like abstrac with mostly red. so my question is, will the thread show up if I sew the zipper at the end part, like the very end so that the zipper dosent go.
So I would have to purchase a 22"x22" insert to get a true 20"x20" finished throw pillow. Great Video Thank You
Yes, depending on how you cut your fabric plates you want an insert that is larger than the desired finished size so the fabric cover will compress it.
That nice i love it but i need to see new calaction pellow
Man thank you for sharing your talent... can u please tell me what u using to cut the fabric???? Tq
Thanks!!!! We are using a hot knife to cut the fabric. This helps seal the edges of a synthetic fabric to keep it from unraveling.
Here is a link to some hotknife options you can purchase: www.sailrite.com/easearch#!&ea_q=hotknife
I loved your tutorial!! I am new to sewing and very terrified of trying to install a zipper into anything. I am definitely going to try this. However, I have one quick question...would it be easier for me to use a regular zipper or the continuously zipper method?
For a throw pillow a "continuous zipper" is always easier than a "finished zipper."
This is my first time attempting to make a pillow cover for a a 24 x 24" insert for a party (to use as a floor cushion), and i have a simple question... what stitching is best for this type of sewing?? and btw, very good instructions, makes it look easy. I saw other tutorials and most said to leave extra fabric for the seams, so this was interesting that you said to cut smaller than the insert.
A simple straight stitch that is about 4mm long is used for making most pillows. We like to make a tight fitting cover for what we believe a better looking throw pillow. However, that is up to the end user as some opinions vary on what looks best.
hi can you please make a tutorial on duvet sets please i want to start my own business and i want to make those i just want to get an idea please i beg you xx
Can I use this envelope style and add ties for the chair plus a small ruffle??Please let me know what you think. I don't have a hot knife and I'm on a budget...Thank you for the great lesson .. P.G.
Yes, I am sure you can do that. Just add the ties when sewing the two halves together. If you don't have a hot knife just use pinking shears.
