square pillow ruffle?
I saw someone on youtube ruffle a strip that had already been sewn into a square shape to put around a pillow,
And I was wondering how she made the square before ruffling
it. I just pin on my ruffle that I make with a long strip, but when I am finished
my corners are more rounded and not pointy for a square pillow shape.
I was wondering if any of you have any bookmarked links or if you
know how to do this if you would share with me?
Thank you.

I don't understand what you mean by "how she made the square before ruffling
it", if you cut your pillow square and gather your ruffle before sewing it onto the pillow; you would sew up to the corner, keep your needle in the down position, raise the presser foot and pivot the pillow 90 degrees and begin sewing again. Repeat for each corner. I hope this is helpful.

Here is another site with step by step instructions and illustrations and they also illustrate how to trim the corners before attaching the ruffle to give you a more professional finished product: http://cottagemagpie.com/crafts-sewi...-pillow-cover/
