[@maureenabramson4224]

Great tutorial, thanks Kari.

[@nancyevans7609]

Your tutorial taught me very helpful tips to putting Rick rack in a seam, doing a ladder back stitch to close, using lizard litter for weight in the bottom to have a stand up pillow and loved seeing you sew it on your machine as I’m a visual learner! Thanks so much Kari for sharing what works for you. I’m definitely going to refer back to this video when adding Rick rack to a pillow I finish. Happy stitching from Culpeper, VA

[@kckoehler1766]

Thank you for your super helpful video!

[@Amyoxford-cb3jm]

Pro tips! Thank you so much for de-mystifying adding rick rack into the seams. I have a couple of pieces ready for sewing and I can't wait to try it.

[@heartlandstitcher9825]

Such a great tip to draw the line and sew in the rick rack! I like that look, as I have just hand stitched it flat around the pillow. I also like the way you closed the back. I just cut a small slit, sew it together and cover with a piece of wool, usually cut into a heart or matching the shape of something in the stitched design. Thank you for your tutorial.

[@marycrecelius113]

Very nice..thankyou so much for sharing❤

So anxious to try this. I have made pillows but your methods seems so much easier. Thanks for sharing. Edited to add: I made a pillow this afternoon and loved the results. My ric rac was 7/16 instead of 1/2 inch but otherwise I did exactly as you instructed. This will definitely be my go to way of finishing future pillows. Thank you again.

I have a couple of pillows that I need to make for some Fall smalls. Thank you for showing how to attach the rick-rack! I have been wanting to do that for a while now but was too scared that I would mess it up and really wasn't sure how to go about it.

[@rebeccabrigham5557]

This is the BEST tutorial on small pillows using rick rack that I have seen. You answered a number of questions that I have had. Thank you so much. You’ve actually given me the courage to try again. I don’t see where you mentioned where you have your printed labels made. I’d love to have that information. Thank-you.

[@cathicopley2456]

Great technique !! I have finished some small pillows, but mine didn't turn out as nice as yours. I appreciate you sharing in this tutorial. Love all your videos !

[@lalinsocal]

Nicely done 👏

[@georgiecurnow1393]

Wow! Wow! Wow! Fantastic tutorial. A real game changer. Thank you Kari. Can you let me know where you purchased your gorgeous labels please? X

[@JazzyGems111]

Love this Kari! I’ll be attempting my first pillow finish with this tutorial. Where did you get the labels for the back? Thanks!

[@sharontesi4273]

Thank you! I have a lot of pillows stitched, but haven't fully finished them. Time to get to work! I couldn't find the etsy shop where you get your labels in the description box-- am I just missing it?

[@wendyahles]

Hey Kari - Love this video!!! Can I ask where you purchased your 2022 tags? Wendy

[@jeralynlorenz8270]

Great tutorial!! Did you post a link to the Etsy shop for the tags? Thank you! ✂️🧵🪡📍

[@karenmeadows7216]

Enjoyed this tutorial very much!!! I can’t seem to find the labels on your site. Can you help me please? Thank you so much 😊

[@eugeniaa9205]

Great tutorial, so enlightening! Where do you get your great labels?

[@TigerLilyDesigns]

I get my labels wholesale as I use them for my business and order hundreds at a time. But I know that Etsy has some great custom label options.
