I love this, Tock. It's simple - but so many people aren't taught the simple steps and are thrown into the process with the assumption they do. Not everyone knows to cut the bulk out! It's like telling someone to clean the bathroom but no one showed them how - then berating them for it. Love this!

Yes, I watched to the end. I think it would be great on a bag. TY for showing me something I didn't even know existed. Happy New year!

Great beginner project! Yours came out pretty “stuffed”, but if you’re recycling another old pillow as a form, you may want to cut your fabric an inch or two smaller than the pillow so it will fill the pillow out better.

Tock, I just got a sewing machine recently just for hemming the pants of my gi pants for jiu-jitsu (I'm big but short so they are all too long and I got tired of paying for tailors to do it). Your channel was really helpful as a full beginner to sewing. And now I'm going to be doing more sewing since I have found even doing hems enjoyable. This pillow will probably be my first actual project. What are some other good projects for someone new to sewing? Things that area a little more challenging and help you develop and improve other key sewing skills? Thank you for your content.

Where do you purchase your pillow forms? Glad I found your channel.

Thanks so much for this! I remember making a pillow with my step mom when I was a kid once but she did the finished closing seam. I was hoping to actually see that done on a machine. If I wanted to actually stuff it myself, as opposed to the pillow form you used, is there a specific material you recommend? Always enjoy your informative videos!

I should probably do that from now on. I usually leave my tension at about 4 on literally everything I sew, then it's just a 2.5mm stitch. If you're having issues, you might need to tighten the screw on the bobbin casing (or just oil your machine). Hope this helps!

how do i make my bobbin thread on the underside of the stitch stop bunching and looking super unclean? there’s a ton of extra thread on the bottom but the top looks good
