Piped Pillow with Puffing Insert
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
This sweet little pillow is done completely with a serger, from the gathered puffing insert, to the piping and even the zipper! The techniques you will learn in this class are how to gather using your serger?s differential feed and your gathering foot if you have one (with a gathering foot the machine will gather and sew the puffing onto the main fabric in ONE step), how to make and insert your own piping with a cording foot, and how to insert a zipper using the cording foot.
YOUR SUPPLY LIST (WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING):
- Serger in good working order, differential feed capability*
- Pillow form 12” or 14” (we are doing a small pillow due to time constraints)
- Main fabric - woven cotton (like quilting fabric) 18” x 18” for the front, 18” x18” for the back*
- Puffing (gathered) insert fabric — woven cotton 5” X 28”*
- Piping fabric — woven cotton, enough to make a 2” X 60” bias strip (fat quarter will work)*
- Cording — cotton 5mm (or less) X 60”
- Fusible interfacing -- 15” X 15”
- NYLON coil zipper – regular clothing type, at least 16” for 12-inch pillow, at least 18” for 14-inch pillow
- Piping/cording foot – 5mm, or whatever size you have for your serger. Your cording/zipper must fit the groove.*
- Gathering foot—OPTIONAL, but makes the construction of the puffing extremely easy!*
- Clover Wonder Clips (instead of pins)—Optional, but they work great*
- Matching thread—we will be doing 4 thread overlock*
- Serger Needles*
- Scissors*
- Any other favorite sewing notion
*Can be purchased at Berger’s.
**BE SURE TO WASH AND DRY YOUR FABRIC TO REMOVE SHRINKAGE.
