NOTE FOR PILLOW/CUSHION SIZESI used a standard 17” pillow that I bought in a local store. Pillow front is attached to a ready-made pillow to save time. The snowflake is made sep-arately and sewn on to the front.You can make the pillow front to any size. Make a chain that is smaller by about 1 - 1.5” than the size you want, making sure you have an uneven number of chains. For example - if you want to attach your pillow front to a 20” pillow, make a chain approx 18” long. The border rows will add an ad-ditional 0.5” to the piece. I always like to leave a pillow front slightly smaller than the cushion and stretch it on as I attach it.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONSAll our threads are produced in accordance with Oeko-Tex standards. PH values are tested and all our colour dye lots adhere to Global fastness standards. However, it is important to follow our thread washing instruc-tions. Particularly with dark colors, excess dye can remain on the thread. To minimise any potential bleeding of excess dyestuff it is important to wash the products in THE HOTTEST TEMPERATURE possible, in accord-ance with the specifications of the fabrics, and use a large amount of water. Please make sure that you also follow the fabric washing instructions where appropriate. As a precaution, you can also use decolorating sheets that you can find in any supermarket.
