Using straight pins and pinning perpendicular to the edge of the fabric, place pins every 4-5 inches along the edge opposite the fold to hold the edges together for sewing.<\/p>\n<p>Pin one of the short edges as well, leaving the other short edge to be hemmed later.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1291\" src=\"http:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step1-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step1-min.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step1-min-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step1-min-636x357.jpg 636w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step1-min-482x271.jpg 482w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step1-min-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step1-min-239x134.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Sewing the Pillowcase<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Starting at the fold along the short edge, stitch a straight seam 5\/8 inch from the edge of the pinned fabric. Remove pins just before they reach the presser foot and needle.<\/p>\n<p>When you are 5\/8 inch from the corner of the pillowcase, stop with the needle down in the fabric (turn the wheel by hand if needed to stop the needle in the down position).<\/p>\n<p>Lift the presser foot and turn the fabric 90 degrees so the long pinned side is in position to be sewn. Lower presser foot again and stitch to the unpinned short end. Secure seam at beginning and end with reverse stitching or by knotting thread ends.<\/p>\n<p>Repeat the seam as before, sewing \u00bd inch from edge to reinforce the seam. Trim the seam allowances \u00bc inch away from second line of stitching. This creates a strong double seam.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hemming the Opening Edge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Fold under 4 inches of fabric from right side to wrong side. Press fold with warm iron. Turn under again so there are two layers folded under. Press fold again.<\/p>\n<p>Stitch 3.75 inches from opening edge to secure the hem. You may use a straight stitch or a decorative stitch if your sewing machine has them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1292\" src=\"http:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step2-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step2-min.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step2-min-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step2-min-636x357.jpg 636w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step2-min-482x271.jpg 482w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step2-min-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step2-min-239x134.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>4&#8243; turned under once<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1293\" src=\"http:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step3-min.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step3-min.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step3-min-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step3-min-636x357.jpg 636w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step3-min-482x271.jpg 482w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step3-min-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/sewingmachinefinder.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/step3-min-239x134.jpg 239w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Another 4&#8243; turned under for double-thickness hem<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Finishing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Turn the pillowcase right side out.
