[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors

[@tryintosurvive88]

hey just subscribed and was wondering if you could show how to sew a seat in with curved needle and thread PLEASE.

[@audriscarborough9309]

You are fantastic! Without even trying you just showed me, in a way I actually understand, how to sew on a zipper and how to sew in piping! I have taken a class on how to do piping, and some other thing's. I'm always shown so many fiddly thing's with so many different rules and tricks, that I just didn't even want to do it. Well now I'm going to go try it, like right now!! Thank you so much. With a happy heart, Audri

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Audri! That’s really kind, thank you! A lot of what I know is self-taught so was lots of trial and error to find the easiest way to do things 🤣 really glad you found is useful too!!

[@frannyfisher8734]

Well beyond my ability, but a joy to watch someone else execute.

[@faceliftinteriors]

You’re very kind, thank you Franny. I’m glad you enjoyed 😊

[@cindyhammes8680]

Thank you for such a clear & easily understandable video. Made my first bolster pillow &, despite my “middling”sewing skills, it came out great!

[@faceliftinteriors]

That’s what I like to hear, thanks for sharing Cindy! I’m glad you found the video helpful 😊

[@sandybush1661]

Awesome! You make that look so easy. Great job.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks a lot Sandy!! 👍🏻

[@chmson6658]

Great video-you make zipper installation look easy. Are you using your walking foot machine for welt cord/piping as well as zipper installation? If so, I need to try your method. Thanks for your video.

[@janpeters1168]

Brilliant video very helpful with good clear instructions, I’ll be keeping my eye on you.

Thank you Gwen 😊🙏🏻

[@rashidansari793]

Thank you so much sir 🇮🇳

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you for watching!! 😊👍🏻

[@kathyhanson1646]

Good video. One point I'd add is, before stitching on the second end make sure the zipper is open so you can turn it right side out.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Are you a machinist by any chance Kathy? 😊

[@luizzahome]

Hello, it was a pleasant video, congratulations, I wish you continued success

[@faceliftinteriors]

That’s very kind, thank you!

[@laurelwilliams41]

You can also find the circumference by using pi but can’t find the symbol on my keyboard! So basically, multiply the diameter by 3.14, this will give you the circumference. Hope this helps. Love your video’s btw.

[@faceliftinteriors]

That is a far easier way than how I do it 🤣 thank you! And thank you for watching 😊👍🏻

[@elizabethsam3875]

Very beautiful 😍

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks Elizabeth 😊

[@arianatorres6917]

I am giving my furniture a facelift! Your channel has been the most helpful, thank you so much! Do you happen to know how to make those sort of “pillow top” couches? The really fluffy ones? Looking forward to your reply! Thanks!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad you find the videos helpful 😊 I’m not exactly sure what you mean by pillow top couches… 😬

[@gemmamcfarlane2278]

Love this vid, next project for sure. Do you always use 5mm piping for any piping? What kind do you use?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Gemma - I usually use 5mm for most jobs. They call it 5mm smooth where I buy mine 👍🏻 thanks for watching and for your support!

[@olagokemargaret7572]

Nice one

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you! 😊

[@juliapaton2450]

hi, can i ask, do you use a needle feed machine or a walking foot? im going to look at a industrial needle feed tmrw and want to know if i can do all the things you do with it. much appreciated!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Julia, I have a needle feed, walking foot machine. You may be able to attach a walking foot to it, maybe ask the owner when you buy. But an industrial needle feed would be a good buy!

[@juliapaton2450]

Thank you, really value your advice. Not blowing smoke up your bum but your pretty damn good at what you do! Love, love, love watching your videos!!

[@faceliftinteriors]

julia paton haha thank you, that’s really kind of you to say! I really appreciate you watching them and for your support, it means a lot 😊🙏🏻

[@ItsThePacey]

Great tutorial 👏🏻

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

[@vumen20]

❤

[@faceliftinteriors]

❤️👍🏻

[@vritikarai2133]

Please name the fabric material.....

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! It’s by Romo Fabrics called ‘Linara - Malachite’

[@sanaullah9992]

Hi Good 👬🛫🤲🤝🏻

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you! 😊👍🏻

[@laviniajohnson9210]

I use 3.142 (Pi)x the diameter to work out the amount of fabric but whatever works. Is that a walking foot machine?

[@faceliftinteriors]

That would probably be a much easier way to do it 🤣 yes it’s a walking foot machine 😊👍🏻

[@joannpadia]

Misleading, You don't show how to make the pillow, just the cover. Should change your title to cover.

[@faceliftinteriors]

I don't make the interiors I order them in. Thanks for watching 😁📐📌🪡🧵✂️

[@siemroos1286]

[@olagokemargaret7572]

Nice one
