Bring a smile to your favorite littles with a woodland inspired pillowcase.  Two of the built-in designs from the Baby Lock Ursa and Luna are companion designs that look darling when placed side-by-side.

Whether you decide to construct your pillowcase completely before embroidering, or stitching on the band prior to construction is completely up to you. Project instructions are written fully for constructing the pillowcase prior to doing embroidery.

1. From the Main Pillowcase fabric, cut a rectangle 23” deep by 40” wide
2. Fold the black accent fabric strip that is 2”x 44” with the right sides together to form a 
   strip 1” side by 44” long.  Press.   
3. Place the raw edges of the strip on top of the main fabric piece and sew it on top of the 
   fabric with a ¼” seam allowance on a sewing machine. Trim the excess black fabric at 
   the sides so the edges are the same width.  
4. Cut the White fabric to 10.5” x 44”.  Fold the fabric in half, wrong sides together. Press.  
5. Lay the raw edges of the white fabric over the black strip so that the black strip is 
   sandwiched between the main pillowcase fabric and the white fabric.  
6. Stitch over the original row of stitching. Trim any excess fabric even with the edges of 
   the main fabric. 
7.  At this point in making the pillow you could stop to add the embroidery design.  See 
   the embroidery directions listed below. Once embroidery is completed, remove any 
   excess stabilizer from the fabric and complete the pillowcase construction steps.  
8. Pro-Tip: Overcast the edges of the fabric or run the edges through the serger using a 
   4-thread overlock stitch. This will give your finished pillowcase a nice edge and ensure 
   that your pillowcase will wash well without raveling.
9. Press the black strip down over the white fabric and the seam allowance up to reduce 
   bulk. Top stitch above the black strip into the main fabric.  
10. Fold the Green strip of fabric in half lengthwise to 2-1/4” x 44”.  Place it, raw edges 
    together along the bottom fold of the white fabric. Stitch with a ¼” seam allowance 
    and then overcast the edges with an overcasting stitch on the machine or serge with 
    your Baby Lock Serger with a 4-thread overlock stitch. 

1. To add the embroidery design, hoop the fabric in the 8” X 14” hoop.  This can be 
   hooped or floated using Baby Lock Tear-Away or Wash-Away, Tear-Away stabilizer.
2. From the main menu, select Embroidery.
3. Note that these designs are available on both the Baby Lock Luna and Ursa machines.
4. Select Baby Lock Exclusives (1) and Folk Art Category (7).

   On the Embroidery Edit Screen, Touch Add.
6. Select Baby Lock Exclusives (1) and Folk Art Category (7).

9. Select Edit to see all the Editing options. ROTATE and MOVE the designs so that they 
   are orientated as you like. If desired, resize the designs. 
10. Use the alignment key to baseline the two designs.
11. Touch Embroidery.
12. Under Layout, select the Two Point Placement
13. Follow the Steps to place the design on the center of the white band.  
14. Once positioned, stitch out the design.  
15. Finish construction of the pillowcase by folding the fabric in half.  
16. Pin side edge and end of the pillowcase opposite the band.
17. Stitch together using a ½” seam allowance.  Finish the edges by running them through 
    a serger or using an overcasting stitch on your sewing machine.
