Sharing a skill is a genuine act of generosity. Thank you.

That’s a really nice thing to say, thank you! 😊🙏🏻

[@heykayde]

Thank you so very much. I've sewn since I was a pre-teen, even winning a Singer sewing contest & making my wedding gown. It's been many years so I came here for tips on making cushions. I didn't realize that I really came here for a little confidence boost that you provided me & probably others. I appreciated you admitting that some areas can be difficult but we all have to start somewhere. Those are words to live by and I hope they resonate with your viewers. It was very kind of you to take the time to share your knowledge and I wanted to thank you. BTW. Great job on the chair.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! These are really lovely words to read, thank you so much!! I’m so glad it gives people a little confidence boost 🤗 to be honest, if I can learn…I’m sure anyone can!

[@heykayde]

I want to say a big thank you! I decided to try and re cover an old 2 seater couch which had been given to me, I watched and watched several of your videos and finally completed the re cover! I am so proud of myself and it looks fab (to me) so thank you for sharing all your knowledge xx

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Dorothy! Thank you so much for sharing, makes it all seem worth it!! Congrats on your recover - a 2 seater for a beginner is no mean feat, you definitely should be proud of yourself! 😊

[@kimschultz9747]

I love your videos! ❤❤I am getting back into upholstery after a 20 year break from it. These KZbin things did not exist "back in the day", and I cannot believe how awesome it is to use these to up my game! During my long sabbatical I took up quilting. I have been stealing some of my quilting techniques and using them in my upholstery projects. One thing you might consider - when "joining" your piping raw edges, cut the folded end at a 45 degree angle. It will reduce the bulk of fabric at the join, and give you much less of an obvious bump. If you have thick, stubborn fabric (I did a couch with dog-proof fabric, and ugh - super difficult), use a glue stick to "baste" that angled fold in place while you stitch. OR...another option is to baste the piping at the join with a stapler. Yeah! A standard, light weight desk stapler. Who woulda thunk it?? The staple never hurts anything because it's buried in the seam. I got that from another KZbinr, and thought it was insane. Staples in your CUSHION? Sounds like staples in your bum. But it works. You probably don't need these types of tricks, since you have an awesome machine and you do this full time, but those of us who do this as a hobby or are just getting started might need some help keeping that fabric and piping lined up just perfect 🙂

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Kim! It’s great to hear new tips from others - I’m still learning new things all the time so I will always welcome someone sharing their techniques 🤗 thank you for taking the time to leave your comment and happy to hear you’re getting back into upholstery! Glad you enjoy the videos 😊👍🏻

[@estellefourie3236]

Your video has been so helpful. I've also taught myself to sew, using countless KZbin videos. I'm now making a fitted foam cushion cover, with piping and a zip. I was initially so overwhelmed and unsure whether I'd be able to pull it off, but your video gave me confidence and I'm now attaching the border and zip to the facings. Thanks so much for wanting to give back and well done on teaching yourself! I pray that your business is thriving in 2023!! 🙏🏻

Hi Estelle! That’s really kind of you to say, thank you! I’m so glad you found the video helpful!! 😊🙏🏻

My biggest and most of the time problem is matching the corners. OMG! Yours look so good. My mom was an upholsterer and she could make a quarter bounce off the cushion. I don’t even come close and when she was doing it, I wasn’t interested…lol typical

[@faceliftinteriors]

Always the way! Practice, Practice, practice! 🙌🙏⛏️🧵📎🪡

[@PaulGDowling]

Hi Neil, To trim down the piping I took out the thread from my cheap Singer overlocker and ran it through there just using the blade as ir struggled overlocking the piping from outdoor fabric. That was a good compromise for me.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Paul! That was a great idea! It’s a great way to get the perfect half inch on your piping 😊👍🏻 hopefully you can thread it back up easily as I have a nightmare doing it 🤣

[@audriesharpe5729]

I like your style of quick, not long-winded! People can pause and re-watch, which I do on most tutorials anyway. I was wondering-- did you use single welt foot for the zip or a zipper foot? And where do you start sewing the welt on the facing, on the front or around the side? Thanks!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Audrie, sorry for the delay in replying. Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it 😊🙏🏻 I used a single welt foot for the zip and I start sewing the welt on the facing at the back where the join is going to be as it looks much better if the join is around the back of the cushion so it’s hidden - I hope that helps 👍🏻

Great helpful video. I have done a couple of projects over the years by following a magazine which I have lost. Starting to cover outdoor cushions without cording. Do you cut the zipper facing wider and cut it in half? I lost focus at the beginning? Thank you so much!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Susan! I take the finish size of the boarder and half it then I add an inch and a quarter (half inch for sewing and then 3/4 inch for folding for the zip). And obviously you have two of them for the zip. Hope this makes sense 😊

[@susanklein841]

Very laid out tutorial please what fabric type was this? I’m looking to upholstery my IKEA sofa and I’m thinking of using velvet material any recommendations?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi James! This fabric was a linen look type fabric by Linwood, it’s called ‘Pronto’. Velvets can come up really nice 👍🏻 Warwick Fabrics do a lovely velvet range called ‘Plush’, which are reasonably priced. Make sure the pile in the velvet is facing the same way when upholstering the different sections otherwise it can look very different if the piles are facing opposite ways 😊👍🏻 Good luck with your sofa, let me know how you get on!

I searched for instructions on Box Cushion DIY and yours was the first to pop up. I’ve made covers before but this time I’m trying to cover a foam mattress remnant so my kids dog can have yet another comfy place to lay down, he’s a 120 pound Yellow Lab mix named Rex. I really liked your video style, and your sewing skills are amazing-and you didn’t pin or iron anything. Wow, very impressive. I’m wondering if the bottom of the dog bed cover is upholstery type vinyl does it need to be folded over twice when attaching it to the zip or will one fold (or even just using the raw vinyl edge) suffice? I’m using up some of my fabric remnants bits which is making a large cushion cover a lot more work- so typical of me to make life harder than it needs to be. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I have heard from some industrial sewers that a cylinder arm machine allows you to do three dimensional objects with a little more ease. However, most of the upholsterers that I see on KZbin use a flatbed machine. So that leads up to my question: is there any advantage to using a cylinder machine for upholstry work? Thanks again for the video and best of luck with your business. KB.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Keefe! Thanks for watching my video and thanks for your comment 😊👍🏻 I would say if you’re going to be doing a lot of top stitching and cross stitching then it’s worth having a cylinder arm machine. But if you’re just doing standard upholstery then a walking foot flatbed machine would more than suffice. Hope this helps 😊

this guy is fantastic, many thanks

[@faceliftinteriors]

You’re too kind Felicity! Thank you so much for watching 😊👍🏻

What's the base fabric you use under the cushions and does it stop it slipping off the sofa?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Rachael! It’s lining fabric or ‘platform lining’. if you’re using vinyl or leather for the cushions then it can help stop them from sliding. However, generally, it’s used to save on fabric as it’s not seen 😊👍🏻

[@rachaelpwells]

@@faceliftinteriors thank you, I found the fabric today, it's a felt type fabric. I'm planning on re upholstering my leather sofa with fabric, the cushions are sprung, but are now very uncomfortable, do you have any tips for changing sprung cushions to another type of cushion...I've looked at foam and feather? Thanks once again 🙂

Haha thank you!! I wouldn’t quite say that but what a compliment 😊

[@chriscullen4994]

am watching your box cushion video, which is great

[@faceliftinteriors]

I found box cushions one of the harder things to learn when it comes to upholstery sewing.

[@JenicaEckman]

What type of fabric are you using?

[@faceliftinteriors]

This is a Linwood Fabric Called Pronto. 👍🙏✂️🧵🧵⛏️📎

[@giselletrejo9109]

Do you think it’s possible/reasonable to sew this with a home sewing machine paired with say a Jean needle? Unfortunately I don’t have an industrial )^:

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Giselle! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I’ve never tried without a walking foot sewing machine but I know others on here have managed with a home sewing machine / it all depends on how thick your upholstery fabric is.

[@giselletrejo9109]

@@faceliftinteriors okay, thanks for responding! I have a walking foot so I might give it a try, thank you 🥶🥶

[@dottyjyoung]

Thank you. I just built an incredible new sofa/pull-out bed/storage piece in our sunroom. I started making the cushions, & everything went wrong-- cutting some foam, & suddenly couldnt cut a straight line, & all of my measuring felt off, & Im like, "I NEED TO LEARN FEOM SOME EXPERTS. So, thank you.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Glad to be of service! Thanks for your support 🙏 😊⛏️📐✂️📎🧵

Give thanks for taking the time to share your skill. I wish I had watched my mom from earlier I idn't like the tacks and staples.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks for this video. I have a large sofa and chair that need new covers. I am a dressmaker so hoping I will manage ok. My sofa cover seems very complicated.
