Ticket 18627 When you measure your pillow form do you add the 1/2” to all four sides for the seam allowance or just use the use the exact measurements of the form itself to create a tighter fit?

This actually comes down to personal preference. I like to use exact measurements for a tighter fit, however I believe our instructor adds the seam allowance to all sides.
Cheers,

Would be interested in how to close up the last side after you have the pillow inside its cover – especially when using a foam pillow form.
EXCELLENT video!!!!! Nicole did a fantastic job of presenting the different types of pillow covers you can make.
