I plan to make a pillowcase using satin fabric and a silky-loke fabric for the cuff. I will use the "buritto" method. Wondering if I should use some kind of interfacing for the silky fabcie on the cuff to make it more rigid?

I would think that would make it uncomfortable to sleep on ???

I personally would not use a interfacing...I like soft silky fabrics..

If you are concerned about sewing slippery fabrics, you can disolve wash away stablizer in water. Soak the fabric and let dry. After sewing, wash it and it is back to what it was before soaking in the stablizer. Tip from Sewing with Nancy. Only works on washable fabrics. HTH

@ Jacky - you don't really sleep on the cuff; its only about 4 inches wide.

@ Strings - good tip

What is the burrito method.

I gotta beat my pillow up to get it just right Terry that is the best pillow making method ever.I think you can google instructions or someone will be here with link.

Here are 2 videos with the method:

TFS the links. Just watched the Missouri Quilt Co, one and they make it look so easy. Now my wheels are turning....27, 9 and 2....27, 9 and 2....

I hadn't seen the vid by MQC before.

Here is a link for written instructions.
