How to Pin a Pillow

Hi, I'm Karina Fraley for Expert Village and we are making our pillow. So we've gone ahead and we've cut out our pillow and now I'm going to give it a once over with my iron. Which is fired up and ready to go because I'm going to need it later on to use with the fusible tape. Right now I'm just going to give it a little bit of an iron and then once we stuff it it's going to be nice and smooth. Alright, so now what we're going to do is just put our right sides of our fabric together cause that's how we're going to sew them. The way that you tell what the right side of the fabric is, is the bolder color, you can see here that this the back, you can see the colors are not as vibrant and this is the front. It's a little more obvious on some fabrics than on others, so I'm sure though that you'll be able to determine which is the right side. So we're going to take this, put the right side up like that and then go ahead and match if you have a pattern like this that has stripes or any sort of pattern like this, be sure that you go ahead and match them so that they look correct when you sew it together on both sides of the pillow. Look nice and coordinated. Okay, so then you can go ahead and take a couple of pins. You can see that the fabric is unraveling a little bit, but I think it's going to hold up just fine for the kind of use that this is going to endure. So go ahead and pin your fabric around and then you're going to get your sewing machine and set it up and we're going to go ahead and stitch all the way around, right sides together. So go ahead and get ready, and we'll see you at the next clip.
