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.

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 🙂

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!! 🙏🏻

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 👍🏻

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!

Hello if the part in the middle where the zip stands is 15 cm, did that dimension remain or do you drop a few centimeters or millimeters

Thank you for bringing this to us. I have never made seat cushions but will certainly use yours. Mind you make it look easy. I don't have an over locker, so how would I go about this. I also need to make the actual cushions, also hoping to upholster too. I will look at your videos. Thanks once again 😊😊

Hi Anita! Thank you so much for watching. The overlocking isn’t essential for the piping - the fabric I was using was a linen so does tend to fray so I find it best to overlock but isn’t essential. Have a look through my videos for any that could help you along your way - if I can help you further, let me know and I will try my best 😊👍🏻

Thank you for this, I can make plan cushions but this will be a bit of a challenge....mind I like challenges. Haven’t started yet (due sciatica 🥴) but won't be long. Will leave a message to let you know when I'm done. A friend as asked me to upholster her corner unit (couch) so will be having a look to see how its done. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge 😊😊😊

Hi Sony! It depends on what the customer wants but I’ll either use high density gold or pink foam for the seat cushions. Back cushions I use channel fibre cushions. Hope that helps 😊👍🏻

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.

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 😊

What's the base fabric you use under the cushions and does it stop it slipping off the sofa?
@faceliftinteriors
@faceliftinteriors 3 жыл бұрын
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 😊👍🏻
