Instructions:
To Create the Floral Accent Pillow
8. Cut two 19" squares from the
ivory twill fabric.
9. Select one or two design motifs from
the large floral print fabric. Cut the
design out.
10. Use temporary spray adhesive to
adhere the motif(s) as desired on the
pillow front.
11. Set the sewing machine for a zigzag
stitch, blind stitch or appliqué stitch.
Using the embroidery thread, stitch
around the entire outline of the motif.
12. Make custom piping as described
below or use purchased home décor
piping.
To Make Custom Piping
• Cut bias strips from the desired fabric,
wide enough to cover the cord plus 1¼"
for seam allowance.
• Using a straight stitch, connect the strips
together to form one long piece.
• Place the zipper foot on the machine.
Select a straight stitch and adjust the
needle position to the left or right making
sure the needle does not strike the foot.
• Place the cording in the fold of the bias
strip. Stitch close to the piping cord.

13. Align the seam allowance of the piping
cord along the raw edge of the pillow
front. Using a zipper foot, stitch piping
around the outer edge, overlapping
the ends.
14. With the right sides of the pillow front
and back facing, pin the fabric
together.
15. Stitch a ½" seam around the entire
edge of the pillow leaving a 5" opening
along the bottom edge for stuffing.
16. Trim the excess fabric of the seam
allowances from the corners, this allows
for sharper corners and easier turning.
17. Turn the fabric right side out.
18. Insert the pillow form or stuff with
fiberfill.
19. Topstitch or hand-stitch the opening
closed.
