That is why I wait until the cuff and trim band is on and then trim all parts to match before sewing the bottom and side.

As it is the piece I have was cut kinda wonky but have enough except for the wof.
So do I assemble center and go on to sew then trim the body down? Have you had this problem? I don't have anything else to put with this pillow case to change it. What would you do? |
I cut them off for everything.

Your case might be a bit narrower than normal but I have seen on decorator shows that they often use a full-size case on a queen size pillow to make it seem fuller and fluffier..so it should not be a problem.

You might look at http://www.overallquilter.com/video14/ (I think) for making a tube pillowcase with french seams. Very easy and fun to make. The instructions are very clear. I've made a bunch using these instructions. After you make the tube and turn it right side out, you trim up the side.
Hope this helps. |
When it says to make a band 2 or 2 1/2 what do most of you like?
|
That is when I do mine...

I have done the folded band and alos added an extra seam and left it full width below the pillowcase cuff..I like both ways..
