I just made 6 pillow cases yesterday, and top stitched along the seam where they are ironed - towards the cuff. Now I am thinking maybe I should sew another line directly on the strip before I wash them...hmmmmmmm It might make them lay flat permanently.....

What is the "burrito style" pillowcase? Thank you.

I've narrowed that strip to just a little flange type ........looked at one of my store bought when I first did one and have been doing it that way since...

I cut my accent strip 3" I pin it in place (along the body of the pillowcase) unfolded and stitch an 1/8 inside the pressed fold. You can see the white stitches where the arrow points to. Then I continue the rest of the "burrito" procedure.

I sometimes will use one of the fancy stitches on my machine to stitch it down. Gives it a little pizazz.

Glad I saw this thread...I make these all the time, and will give it a try!

........I really like to stitch along the bottom of the strip when they are finished...in my opinion, they launder better and I like that strip to lay flat...I'm interested in knowing if anyone else does this or as has done...what are your opinions?
