I finally found my pillow making angels!! 😇😁👍❤️ And sir, may I just say how much I not only admire you for teaching your son such an important trade, but also clearly giving him the skills to be his own man. Thank you!!

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hey there Kassaundra, WOW THANK YOU for the kind compliment I really appreciate you taking time out to let me know your thoughts. I am very happy to have my son with me I worked with my father and I have good memories of it. I hope he will have the same. Again thank you for taking out the time. I’m glad we could help you with the video. Cheers, Paul

Great question, throw pillow inserts are not measured thickness wise, their just measured by height and width.

[@life8801]

An individual brought me some old pillows and a purchased curtain of a heavy duck fabric. When I removed the old cover, it was not a formed or covered pillow, but rather filled with stuffing. I thought this may solve my concern of "luminess" in the pillow. I was trying to preserve it by using an old pillow case but it was difficult to stuff it into the pillow case without falling apart in the process. Thank you. Subscribing!!

Hi guys! Great video. I watched it before I ordered poly batting for a large floor pillow, and watched it again just now to make sure there's not a top and down to poly batting that I need to get right. On re-watching I had a question, though. I know about steam-a-seam and use it sometimes. But I didn't see you use it in this video; you sewed the insert fabric. Did I miss it?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hi Frederica, Thanks so much for watching our videos! Great question, I don’t believe that you did miss it in the video. As far as I remember we did it off camera with the steam-a-seam. It works well. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the project. All the best, Grant

[@fredericamathewes-green]

@@ucsolutionsgivingmore It's funny because you say at the beginning of the video that viewers can do the project without sewing a stitch, and show the steam-a-seam; and then you sew the pillow entirely with the sewing machine. OK, good to know I didn't just miss it!

[@roadrunner123]

Great video. I just finished a long, 66” cushion and when I bought the foam, the attendant suggested I wrap the foam in dacron. I did and it came oht great. I am now going to try this on smaller pillows. I like the tab idea, too. I never thought of doing that, but it makes sense!

So so thankful for this!!! You have no idea. I made premier blue satin throw pillows to sell hand appliqued with lace. But when i stuffed them they looked slightly lumpy. After all the work, I never did sell them; just zipped them into plastic dust covers until i got around to buying pillow forms. I got ahold of beautiful Waverly upholstery fabric, which costs $25 a yard, at $1 for several yards, and wanted to make pillows to sell on etsy. I'm glad I took the time to watch the professionals do it first. Thank you so much!

Hello there, thank you watching the video. Yes that is correct just simply fold the last side on itself and stitch on top. You can use whats called steam a seam and not sew it closed. warmcompany.com/product/steam-a-seam-2-1-4-tape/ I hope this has helped you and thank you again. Cheers, Paul

[@divyalingwal1]

Hi, can you please create a video for creating cotton filled pillow as well. I particularly want to know some easy ways to fluff the cotton before filling it in

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hello Divya, unfortunately we have had to put the videos on hold for a little while. The foam business takes up most of our time. The cotton we use comes in rolls about an inch thick divided by a piece of paper for upholstery. When it comes to filling it with a pillow or a cushion we just use the layers of it, we don’t fluff it up. Cotton can get into a big ball sometimes and become a mess. I hope this address is your concerns. In short the cotton we use you don’t fluff up you keep it flat in layers. Cheers, Paul

Is there a way to create a flat sheet from the stack you filled in? Is there a trick or is it impossible?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hey there, yeah the loose poly fill you wouldn’t be able to make it to a flat sheet. But you don’t have to, you can just get poly batting which comes in rolls and is flat. I hope this address is your question, and thank you for watching the video. I look forward to hearing from you again. Cheers, Paul

[@one-nation-under-god7622]

I love watching your videos!! Thank you!🙏🏻 Would you tell me how I can hand sew where I open up? My big throw pillows that came with the exact same fabric as the sectional are flattening and they don’t have a zipper, I should have checked before ordering it. There is rolled trim too. I’m worried that where I cut it will fray into a hole. I know how to hand sew well. I thought if I sew around really close over lapping the thread might work? I’m just not sure. Thank you again!! 🙏🏻😊💙

TYSM for sharing this info with us. I have a question though. How would I go about stuffing an "L - Shaped" body pillow using this method ? I presently have only the polyfil in there, and, it is quite lumpy. 🙀!!! I'm hoping to get it to be less lumpy by using your method of putting the batting in first - thankfully, I haven't sewn my pillow shut yet. 😉 TY AGAIN for sharing this technique. 😻

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hello sorry for the late reply I have been sick. Straight to your question you simply follow the cushion cover as a pattern of the L. Cut the batting out and fill it. How it is best to use shredded foam for the job it is great support and last longer. I hope this helps you. Please share the videos. Cheers, Paul

Just ran across your video and love the idea of no lumpy pillows. Can you show how you close the end of the pillow? I was thinking of sewing the pillow and then adding velcro in case I want to add more filling or if my customers want to add it.

[@doozledog]

Could you sew the batting to the liner??

[@dawnaskey4975]

It can be done but it can put a lot of fine fibers inside the sewing machine. It would be better to baste it by hand. The best option would be to use an appropriate spray adhesive- you would need to research that. All of those things are unnecessary. If you don't want it to shift ( which I am guessing is your goal, you can use the sewing version of clothespins to hold it together. (Wooden clothespins work only in some situations. I bought mine on Amazon to get a generic one including a generic price!)

Hello Kimberly, thank you for watching and for your comment. That’s a good question, I don’t see it being a problem anymore than the average bed pillow that’s been washed that has poly fill inside.

Could we sew the batting and muslin together? I worry about the edges of the batting rolling up over time. I'm making a floor pillow for sitting so it will likely get more use than a regular tossing pillow.

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hi Amy, Excellent question! Yes, though, I would sandwich the batting between two muslin layers since you will not be able to see the batting directly to one layer of muslin. The reason being is the batting has a very loose weave and will snag on the feed-dog or the foot of the sewing machine. I hope this helps! Sounds like a really cool project you’re taking on.

The pillow itself I wasn't to concerned about as I an going to knit the front/back together and that is well within my comfort zone.

Glad to hear that you got things covered! Also, I wish home ec was more prevalent in schools nowadays we could use more common sense education. All the Best, Grant

Thanks so much for this! I've been having a hard time sourcing polyfill. I can only find sponge chips and while it's nice and springy, it's quite lumpy. The batting would definitely smooth that all out. Great video. I like to see you guys working together. Looking forward to the next one. Stay well. Blessings...

+AfroTee Thanks for commenting to let us know. The shredded foam will always have that trouble. I love it because it's a great use of the pieces of left over foam from cushions. So yes the batting will help. It would be best to sew or staple the batting together so the foam does not work its way out. Fill it and close up the bottom, if you didn't already think of that yourself. Love that term sponge chips never heard of it, I want to remember that. Again thanks for watching and telling us. God bless. Cheers, Paul

Ohhh thanks for the tip about securing the foam inside the batting. I think sewing it would work best for me. Ohhh that's a good idea! Thank you again!

Thank you for the tutorial. To cover the insert, would I use the same measurements for the fabric as the insert?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hi Velda, Great question! No, make the insert 1 -2 " larger then the fabric cover. I find 1.5" larger fits best not too much not too little. Thank you very much for your comment. If you haven't already please subscribe and share the videos,it helps us when you do. All the best, Paul

So, the insert is actually larger than the cover? I am doing this today so I want to make sure this isn't a typo. I would've thought that the insert would need to be smaller, ( but that's why I am turning to the professionals). So if I want a 16 inch square pillow, the covering fabric is an 18 inch square and the insert is 19 1/2 inches? Is that correct?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hi There, Thanks for the question and for watching. Please share the videos it helps us a great deal. Now to the question. I will use FINISHED measurements okay. A 16 x16" throw pillow I would make this way. First the pillow cover (fabric) 16 x 16" (add 1" all around for seam allowance cut 17" SQ). The insert you are making I find making the insert 1 1/2" LARGER it makes for a fuller feel and look, with polyfill. Feather inserts I like 2" larger. I hope this addresses your question. All the best, Paul

Would it be okay to stuff the tabs inside the pillow and use iron on adhesive tape to close the tabs?

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hello Crafty, YES! You can do just that, it will hold just fine. It can be a challenge to hold the tabs under the sewing foot. So use the iron on adhesive if you are having trouble holding under the sewing foot, what ever keeps it closed. Thank you for taking the time out to comment, please share the video, it does help us a lot when you do. Please comment again looking forward to it. All the best, Paul

[@ucsolutionsgivingmore]

Hello Crafty, YES! That should work just fine, however any of the poly fill or poly batting pushing through will melt on the iron. Sorry for the late reply, you most likely have moved on if so I sure it looks great. Thank you for your comment. Cheers, Paul
