| The Coolest Trick Ever for Sewing a Pillow
I just learned the most amazing tip for sewing a pillow from Modern
Patchwork 2012.
Whenever I make a pillow, I always
get pointy corners. It completely
baffles me because I started out
with a perfect square.
Well, there's a neat solution for
that. I found this trick in the
Hanging Flags Fusible-Appliqué
Pillow project by Melissa Lunden.
Thank you, Melissa, for solving
one of life's great mysteries!
1) Measure and cut your pillow
rectangle.
2) Mark the center of each side of the pillow. 3) Mark in ½" from each corner of the pillow. 4) Draw a line from each side's center to each corner, so that the
pillow now looks
like a slightly squished square.
5) Trim the pillow along these lines
and sew as usual. No more pointy
corners!
