Supplies Required
  • 1/2 to 1 yard Muslin or any nice weight fabric suitable for a pillow.
  • Madeira MSA1000 Spray Adhesive
  • Spray Sizing or Spray Starch
  • Tear A Way Stabilizer or cut away.

Steps:
  1. Cut 2 pieces of muslin at least 16 1/2" square, this is the front. To prevent the layers from shifting spray adhesive on one side of the muslin and place the 2nd layer on top and press.
  2. Cut 4 pieces 16 1/2" wide x 11" tall for the back pieces. Follow the same process for the back pieces. The goal is to end up with a 15.5" pillow cover for your 16" pillow form.
  3. Take to the sewing machine and sew at least 1/4" seam around the entire pillow front.
  4. Once you have the front sewn together you are ready to add the embroidery design. Take your muslin square, fold in half and then fold in half again.
  5. Making sure the pin stays in corner carefully open up your muslin and you will have the exact center of your pillow.
  6. Spray the cut a way stabilizer with spray adhesive.
