Did up my partners’ owl cushion over a weekend afternoon.
For some reason I thought it was a clever idea to sew the opposite sides first…um, no. Don’t ever do that when quilting, you just end up having to unpick the corners to make everything line up properly.
Some other hot tips are: always pin your lapped zipper diagonally to allow the needle to just stitch over the pins & if your machine can do a blanket stitch that’s an easy way of saving raw edges.
