Welcome to the final part of the Christmas Fussy Star Pillow series! In this step-by-step tutorial, we’ll finish this festive project by adding those professional finishing touches that make your pillow truly special. If you’ve been following along, your pillow top and backing are sewn together. Now it’s time to complete the project!

In this video, we’ll walk through three essential steps:

• Finalizing the Backing: We’ll make sure your backing is securely attached to your pillow top and ready for binding.
• Creating and Sewing the Binding: Learn how to make your binding from fabric strips, attach it to your pillow, and ensure a neat, durable finish.
• Finishing the Binding with Chunky Hand Stitching: Add a beautiful, handmade touch to your pillow using the chunky hand stitch binding method. This technique is easy to learn and gives your pillow a cozy, decorative look.

This project is designed with beginners in mind, so even if this is your first time sewing a quilted pillow, you’ll be able to follow along with confidence. The chunky hand stitching adds a personal touch that’s perfect for holiday decor as a thoughtful handmade gift.
