I agree so sometimes I make the "Flange" only 1/2" wide or use fat rick-rack or cotton lace or whatever -- have tried to find a way to make the trim lie down rather than up. Oh well, it's still an easy and quick way to make a pillowcase.

Also -- don't make them from inexpensive fabric as you'll have to iron the darn things. Good quality fabric usually doesn't need ironing. Speaking of ironing -- sure wish I had my Mother's old mangle!! That thing would come in handy when ironing yards of fabric.
