This is hands down the best video tutorial I've seen for putting in a zipper on a corded pillow! (and I've watched a bunch in the past few days) I made new covers for 3 large pillows that are the back cushions on my son's favorite (well-loved and dirty) sofa. I found your video after making one pillow cover using a different technique. The two I made using your instructions came out so nice that I'm going to take the other one apart and redo it! Thanks for teaching me a new skill!

I am so glad I found this! I was asked to make a pillow as a gift for the national president of an organization I belong to from our unit. (No pressure, right? Lol.). I decided on a cathedral window with an embroidered emblem on the front and an embroidered back. Then decided on cording too. As I applied the cording, it dawned on me, “ I’ve never installed a zipper with cording!” Thanks to this wonderfully explained tutorial, all went well on the first try! It turned out so beautiful! My local unit was stunned when I unveiled the finished product. It will be presented to the president of our organization on the 10th of may. Thank you so much for guiding me through the proper technique of a perfectly installed zipper!

Thanks so much for this! I used your directions to make three pillows, one with fringe and two with self-made piping. I used down alternative inserts. Each one cost about $25 in materials but they feel and look like more expensive pillows. I used 20" squares of fabric to begin with which fit my 20" inserts beautifully. For future reference, this was what I did the first few days during the Corona virus pandemic isolation.

Thank you, Jann, for all of your very clear videos. These are helping me a lot. I have a question. Does an invisible zipper need a placket? I noticed in one pillow zipper video you put a placket in with a regular zipper and in the invisible zipper video you didn’t use a placket. Does an invisible zipper on a pillow look better without a placket? Or just not need one? Just FYI: I never sewed before. Now I make silk pillows with my own cording, masks, and now drapes, all because of your very clear videos. I have a new hobby thanks to you.

Both sides of the pillow are cut the same size as your pillow insert. For instance, if your pillow form is a 16" x 16' insert, then you would cut both the front and back sides of the fabric at 16" x 16". This makes for a nice fit, not too baggy. Thanks for watching!

I like this video a lot, except I am confused on the length the zipper is supposed to be. ;you say it should be 3" shorter than the fabric, and your fabric is cut 14-1/2" and your zipper is at 11". That is 3.5". , not 3 inches. Half an inch is not very much, but in a project, it can make a BIG difference. So, if my fabric is cut at 12", should my zipper be at 9.0" or 9.5"? Do you mean to say that the zipper should be cut at 3" shorter than the finished size of the fabric? I am trying your method on a gift project for a good friend, and I don't want to flub it up. Also you refer to the zipper that you have"already prepared"---this video does not contain any of that prep. Easy enough for me to "wing it" on that--but I'd like more clear info on the zipper length. I have a drawer full of very long zippers which I cut down for various projects.

I would love to have an industrial machine with a table. I've got a domestic Janome. I suppose it could be my fault, but I swear I've followed the rules - it's just so noisy and it doesn't seem to want to co-operate. It's a newish machine, haven't done that much at all on it - so it can't be fatigue. I really wish I'd have saved-up for a Bernina or something. Your machine hardly makes a sound. I contemplated buying a second-hand one, but I would have no idea who to trust, or even what to look for. I'm just venting!

Reese, good luck with your search. I bought mine almost 20 years ago, so I'm not much help with how to find a good one. Just do a little research, and see what you come up with. Thanks for watching!

@@annazawistowska2429 Yes, it's easier to make an envelope pillow, but I think a zipper in the bottom of a pillow does look better than an envelope pillow. Just a matter of personal preference. I try to make pillows of all types for different types of viewers.
