Gotta be honest- I never noticed the dog eared pillow epidemic, but now that Ive watched this video, I will never be able to un-see it. I definitely like your tapered pillow the best. Thank you for leading me out of the darkness

Finally, someone that brings this to our attention. I have noticed famous designers showing their newly designed rooms and the pillows are dog eared and I ask myself is this a newly acceptable look? I personally don't care for it and don't make my pillows that way.

I taper my corners but not that much. I also stuff loose fiberfill into the corners, along with the pillow form. A form just won't fill out those corners properly, so I add extra stuffing. That takes away some of the pointy-ness.

I have been watching this long after you posted this video, but I have questions. You mention, "If your pillow is smaller, too, make the taper smaller." What if the pillow is much larger and not a throw pillow? I have three big sofa back cushions that are 28 x 36 inches. How many inches would you suggest measuring down and in for that size pillow? Also, would you recommend tapering on the sofa back pillows?
@MimzyandCompany6 ай бұрын
Is it a regular knife edge pillow style? Not a box cushion or turkish right? If so, yes I would taper the corners. With those dimensions I’d go 8” in on the 36” side and 6” on the 28” side.
@kornerstonekreations6 ай бұрын
@@MimzyandCompany Yes, knife edge, no piping. I looked into the Turkish corners that you did. I like them. I may try some of your ideas on my own items. Right now, I want to finish the customer's project. You have been so helpful! I need to go back and give you a thumbs-up on all of the videos I've watched.

@MimzyandCompany11 ай бұрын
Thanks for the compliment! I think the karate chop came back when people stared using full feather pillow inserts instead of polyfil. They chopped to show the pillow was feather. And now it’s just a thing.

@MimzyandCompany4 ай бұрын
you know how things come and go …it’s cyclical. And I’ll always chop my pillows because it shows that the pillow is feather and not cheap fiberfill. I hate lumpy fiberfill pillows.

Hmmm. If your pillow is smaller then the taper should be shorter. Or else you may end up with a circle.
