Thank you for tuturing us and i need somr technique and some design

This is the best tutorial. You are the first one to explain about the zipper foot and actually stating the fact that feet have to be switched out. I also appreciate that you show how to sew the pillow step by step.

This is a great tutorial! I absolutely love that you are so detailed and you SAY everything you're doing. It makes it so much easier to follow along. Keep doing what you're doing because it's really working. I appreciate that I don't have to read text over the video. And giving tips on what to avoid and why is so helpful! You are amazing.

I agree that this is the best tutorial on putting a zipper into a pillowcase. It explains in more detail what each step should be. I've been searching for such a video because I'm making my own pillows due to the fact the store bought ones are all either too soft or too firm for me. Also, this method seems to make an invisible zipper for your pillows which is a wonderful "plus 👍." TYSM for sharing this video with us.

I have watched several videos to make a pillow cover with a zipper and yours is the best and easiest. My home ec teacher (1963-1967) would be amazed. I don't remember zippers were this easy back then. We only made clothing, but crafting is much more fun and not nearly as stressful.
