Set Up:

• Choose one fabric for the embroidered center panel and hoop four inches down

from the top. Be sure to line up one of the 18” sides with the guide on the right
side of the hoop.

•

Select design # 10.

•

Using the Mettler poly sheen multi thread and following the directions for
continuous embroidery, embroider the design twice.

•

Trim embroidered panel to 6 ½” x 15 ¼”, centering the design.

•

Cut two border strips out of the contrasting fabric 2 ¼” x 15 ¼”.

•

Cut a backing piece of fabric of your choice 8” x 15 ¼”.

Construction:

1. Using the ¼” Right Guide foot and general sewing thread, stitch the border

pieces to the top and bottom of the embroidered panel.

2. Press both seams to the darker fabric.

3. Switch to the Decorative Trim Foot.

4. Stitch decorative ribbon either just inside or on top of both border seams.
For this you can use a decorative thread or a thread that matches the

ribbon. A straight stitch or a narrow decorative
stitch can be used. Practice the stitch on a scrap of ribbon before stitching
on the pillow.

5. Snap on the piping foot. Create piping using Susan Cleveland’s Piping Hot
Binding kit.

6. Now stitch the piping to the front of the pillow referring to the directions on
page 19 in Chris Jeffreys’ “More sew-it-yourself Home Décor.”

7. Create a topstitched zipper on the backing fabric.

•

Cut a piece of fabric 4” wide x length of zipper + 2”
Draw a rectangle the size of the zipper opening in the center of the

right side of the strip.
Place the strip, right side up to right side of the backing fabric

wherever the zipper will be placed.
Stitch on the marked line using an Open-toe Appliqué foot.
Clip inside the rectangle and out to the corners with out cutting your

seam. Turn strip to inside and press.
Place the zipper under the opening and topstitch around.

8. Another method for inserting a zipper can be found on page 25 of “More
sew-it-yourself Home Décor,” or, instructions for a flap back pillow can be
found on page 30 of “More sew-it-yourself Home Décor.”

9. Leaving the zipper open at least 5 inches, with right sides together, stitch
the front and back together all the way around tying off at the beginning
and end. This can be done with the piping foot, to help hold your fabrics
steady.

10. Trim the corners to reduce bulk. Next, turn the pillow right side out through
the open zipper and press.

11. Using the L’orna Decorative Touch Wand, embellish your pillow with
crystals, create a fringed tassel and attach it to the zipper.

Supplies:

• PFAFF 6mm Beading Foot

• Decorative Thread

Construction:

1. Find a piece of cardboard or anything sturdy that is approximately

twice the height you would like the finished tassel to be (Suggestion:
an empty fabric bolt).
