@molnijaburia24 I make lots of these pillow cases, especially when the kids were little and had birthday parties to go to. They make great gift wrapping, something they can keep instead of a bag that gets thrown away.
I seen your beautiful unfinished quilt on the wall behind you and at your into... :) I did notice that you will have to finish your quilt w/ that dreaded "Y" seam or side set triangle. Is it possible for you all to post a tutorial on how to do this?? It would be sooo appreciated. Thank you!! :)
@overallquilter no if you do it like this the opening si wider as the length of the pillow case - shouldn't be any way to make the opening - so the side where you introduce the pillow into the case smaller ...do I make any sense? so the opening is not open all the way on the pillow case length
@overallquilter I think they mean the end with the "sleeve" where it is open. There is nothing keeping the pillow from coming out the end you used to slip it into the pillow-case.
@cristinaqueimado Yes, I love the IDT on the Pfaff machines it's what sold me on them. I've got my eye on an Expression 4.0. Glad you've enjoyed the videos, wait till you see the block of the month!
@rmsmith2000 Thanks, we're working on more videos, our next few will be a Block of the Month and I think I've found a great tool for making prairie points.
Thanks so much for the video, it's absolutely wonderful and so easy to follow! Beautiful choice of fabrics too! Can I just ask what sewing table are you using? It looks really nice and not too big. Thanks a bunch!!!
@bkkcrafter Thanks for the great comment! The machine is sitting in a SewEzi table. It's a portable table. I host lots of retreats and it's easy to travel with it.
@bkkcrafter I don’t know about Aimee’s table, but I have a 24”D x 48”W table made by Lifetime that has adjustable heights at 22, 24, 29, and 36 inches (at 36-in counter top height it can wobble just a bit); folds in half to 24 x 24 x 3. Only weighs 19 lbs so it’s easy to fold up and put away when not needed. On the 24 inch setting, it is the perfect height for me to sew more ergonomically. When I bought my table in 2010 at Sam’s, it was only $35. They're also sold @ Home Depot 4 more $.
@newbeequilter Thanks! I'm the cameraman (Marc) and I'm not a sewer/quilter (even though I'm married to one!). My perspective is from a person that is interested in learning by "looking over the shoulder" of someone that does. My passion is to provide a service to people that is truely helpful. So many howto videos are shot from a detached angle that makes it difficult to learn. Thanks again and I hope you continue to watch!
I've seen several YT videos on how to make a pillowcase, and yours is the BEST! Specifically, I like how you showed the accordian fold area. Still another thing I like about ALL your videos are the great angles from which your cameraman shoots. Whoever it is, he/she is doing an outstanding job because I can actually see what you're doing and explaining along with your excellent instructions. That person must know how to sew and the necessity of where to shoot the shots. Thanks, Aimee!
I have been fighting with trying to make some pillow cases for a quilt I made for my sisters 40 wedding anniversary. I absolutely could not believe i was having such a hard time making what i thought should be so simply. this demostration was great!!! I think i will make her pillow cases tomorrow and get them of to her. THANK YOU!!!!!
I like the way of finishing the side seams, now they don't look so ragged....I followed the other video on Missouri Quilt Co as well and it does make a nice pillow case to have the top seam hidden...I made a half dozen for the challenge.,,

i did that but the pillow falls out as all that side is open is there any way you can shorten that part ? so not the entire length is open? thanks

@Elementfifth I'm not sure what you are asking, is the pillow case too big? if it is just shorted the length or take a larger seam.

I have a Pfaff too. Great machine. I notice that you didn't use the IDT system. I always use it because helps keeping the layers of fabric in place.
Great tutorial, thanks.
