Does anyone have the tutorial to make the pillowcase using the hotdog method?? I've got the fabric cut but don't understand the directions I was given. It doesn't show which way to lay the fabric---up or down??? Help--would really appreciate it.

never heard of the hotdog method? I have several tutorials on the tube method which I love doing. http://www.thriftyideastoday.com/201...ns-on-how.html

I just did a google search...lots of PDFs - its the same as the tube method that I have linked on my site that are videos - very easy. You will love making them.

Could this be the one you mean?

Thanks for the links!

Thank you for all the different ways to make the same thing. Isn't it funny---it is called Hot Dog, Sausage and Tube Pillowcases but all the same. I'm ready to roll that hot dog and make two beauitful pillowcases to go with the King Size quilt I made for son and wife for Christmas. You all are fabulous for answering so fast!!

thanks everyone for the links and please post a picture if you make them to share with all of us, we love pictures for show and tell

I so enjoy making pillowcases and I love doing the tube method. They're so quick and easy and I've made several sets.

I have made over 70 of the pillowcase for charity and friends, go on YouTube and look for Sauceage pillowcase, there is a demo to how it is done.

I saw the one done by the Missouri Quilt Company, and I made four of them and wrote down important parts.

I took the pillowcases to a Quilt shop that donated them and it was to go as part of the count of the Million pillowcase goal.

I recently started making pillowcases in the tube/roll/hotdog/etc method and love it! It looks so nice and neat when done and sooo easy!

This one is excellent!!! I have made several using this method

I'm assuming you mean the roll up method. If you care to share your e-mail address I can send you the tutorial put out by Missouri Star Quilt Company or possibly go to their website. It is an absolutely fun way to make the cases. I'm making 50 for a charity project - 5 to go!! I tried to insert their tutorial in here but it wouldn't work.

Ooops - the link is already listed on here. Didn't read far enough.

I think the Missouri Quilt tutorial is the most straight forward explanation of the "Hot dog" or "Burrito" or "tube" method of making a pillowcase.

There was a 2nd one on YouTube at one time that had the written instructions also. They are sure EZ and I will cut a bunch out at a time and do them.

I have a few to make up that I didn't have time at Xmas to get done. We have a Niece and Nephew that have 10 grandkids. We have two, one of which lives with her Father which we never see.
Everyone loves Pillowcase, my friends got a lot of what I made for Xmas, not quilts but other things.

I just made two from the Missour Star Quilt Co, I love Jenny, she explains things so well, and it was finished in 2 hours, and looks beautiful...Please try there first, you will love it and so much more to learn there.

I agree, she does a nice job and showing you step my step on how to make things. Would love to live near that shop, but not this time of year.

This is a great tutorial. I love all of their tutorials. Have fun making your pillowcases.

I have heard it called the 'burrito' method. I love making these pillowcases because it gets done so quickly and I feel so accomplished!

The one I used over and over again and it is so CLEAR, is Making a Sausage Pillowcase with Judy. I think if you just type that in, it will come up. It's really good.

I think that is where I got the idea of the Sausage Pillowcase it was Judy that was doing it on YouTube, they have a lot of great video on different sewing projects. For people who don't have any idea of what to do and need pictures with instructions that is the way to go. Sometimes if I see it done one time I can do it after that.

I took you at your word. I have uploaded several pillowcases I have done for gifts. The first is a quilted cuff, the other two are monogrammed. Trying to figure out where to put that monogram eas tough until I thought it thru!! Now I've got it!!

Google Magic Pillowcase. It gives very easy to follow directions

i have never seen that before , thank you

The best people are on this board, always ready to lend a helping hand :)

Thanks for sharing. I have made pillowcase before but never heard of this way to make them. Very neat.

I agree with AnnT, when I understood how to do it, it is easy and fun. They go really fast if you cut out several and sew them up at once.

I followed the directions on Robin Gallaghers video and is really simple to follow...
