1.
CUTTING DIRECTIONS:
Cut two 19" squares of decorator fabric. Using the pillow
template from the Husqvarna Viking Home Dec Kit, cut a diamond-shaped
piece from the fabric scrap centering a flower motif for the
fabric inset.
2. CONSTRUCTING
THE PILLOW
Fold one 19” square into quarters, press. Place a mark
1” in from each side center point. Pin the diamond-
shaped piece over the 19” square matching the marks with
the diamond points, right side up. Baste in place.
Pin, then stitch, a length of flat braid over each raw edge
of the inset fabric. Using the Button Sew-On feature on your
Husqvarna Viking sewing machine, sew a button at each corner
of the diamond shape.
Simply touch the Sewing Advisor®, found on most Husqvarna
Viking sewing machines, touch your fabric
weight and type and then touch Button.The Sewing Advisor automatically
selects the stitch and sets your
machine for your fabric and task. Once a button is sewn on,
touch reverse to tie-off.
Wrap the bias strip of fabric around the cording and stitch
close to the cord using a Husqvarna Viking
Single Welt Cord Foot.The Single Welt Cord Foot, found in the
Husqvarna Viking Home Dec Kit, has a
deep groove on the underside, perfect for easily making custom
cording to match any of your decorating
projects.
Pin the wrapped cord to the right side of the pillow front matching
the raw edges. Use your Sewing
Advisor® to machine-baste in place, close to the cording.
Use the 25 adjustable needle positions on
your Husqvarna Viking sewing machine to stitch close to the
cord.
With right sides together, pin the pillow front to the back.
Stitch close to the cord leaving a 6” opening
for turning.
Trim the seams and turn right side out. Insert the pillow form
and slipstitch the opening closed.

 A
pillow is the perfect accessory for any room. Create a unique
pillow with linen and mother-of-pearl buttons that is as at
home in a bedroom as it is on a sofa. Mundial
thread clips make it quick and
easy to trim threads from the buttons and the linen insert.
Supplies:
5/8 yard linen fabric for pillow
½ yard handkerchief linen
for insert
14" x 18" pillow insert
8 mother-of-pearl buttons
Mundial Thread Clip (Item# 801 or 601)
Mundial Sewing Scissors (Item# 837)
Cutting Directions:
- Cut two 15" x 19" pieces of linen
- Cut two 13" x 17" pieces of handkerchief linen
Assembly Directions:
- Layer the pieces of handkerchief linen, and machine
baste along all edges to keep layers from shifting.
- Turn under and press a 1 ½" double-fold hem along all
edges of the handkerchief linen. Turn under diagonally
at the corners to miter and stitch in place close to the
fold.
- Center the handkerchief linen on the right side of
one of the pillow pieces. Satin stitch in place close
to the inside edge of the hem.
- Mark the placement for the buttons. Stitch buttons
in place at markings using sewing machine (see instruction
manual for details). Remove excess threads using thread
clips.
- Sew the pillow front and back with right sides together
using a ½" seam allowance. Leave an opening for turning.
Trim corners with sewing scissors, and turn right side
out.
- Insert pillow form, and slipstitch the opening closed.
Tip: Thread clips are one sewing accessory
that will be a welcome addition to any sewing room. These "mini"
scissors fit in the palm of your hand; the ring slips over the
middle finger, and your thumb and index finger work the spring
action blade. The clips make it easy to trim close to the fabric
without danger of harming the cutting surface.
