Walking Foot WOW pillowcover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Over a year ago, I took a Walking Foot WOW! workshop with Mel Beach<\/a>. I finished a walking foot sampler in the class that has been hanging around. After finishing a pillow cover on Friday, I was looking for a way to practice the zipper installation method I discovered on Spoonflower<\/a>. The first installation took me much longer than the video, so I knew I needed practice.<\/p>\n

The sampler was on my list and I decided it was a good day to make it into a pillow. The pillowcovers I made 5 years ago<\/a> are starting to fray at the edges. I am surprised they have lasted this long.<\/p>\n

The zipper installation went a lot better. I used the regular zipper foot and not the flat snap-on version I used on Friday. The regular zipper foot is a pain to get on and off, but is a lot easier to line up with the zipper itself and the stitching.<\/p>\n

Everything wasn’t all peaches and roses. I still need practice. The zipper isn’t centered between the stitching, but I was able to catch the seam allowance on the first try, which was a problem last time. I like this method. It looks much more professional than the flap method.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I am pleased with the way this pillow came out and am planning on working on another pillow with my 2017 Merit Hexies<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
