Three decisions, one clear specification
Choose the pillowcase style, fabric and stitch colour.
Create a coordinated bedding finish with satin stitch on Plain / Housewife or Oxford pillowcases and made-to-order linen. Choose the construction, actual size, base fabric and thread colour, then list the quantity for each combination. We confirm availability, pricing and production details before manufacture.

Oxford · one row
One satin-stitch row for a restrained frame.
Oxford · two rows
Two satin-stitch rows for a more defined border.

Before you request a quotation

Plain / Housewife pillowcases have no flange. Oxford pillowcases have a border around the edge. Choose the construction first, then use the examples above to select the available satin-stitch finish.

Yes. The examples show tonal and contrasting thread options. Screen colours are a guide, and the final fabric and thread combination is confirmed before production. Cotton Percale 300TC is available in white only.
