I am LOVING all your videos!!! Can you BINGE WATCH OFS? Yessss 😆 I learn by visual so could you make a video on Roman shades using mini blinds?

[@onlinefabricstore]

Here is our roman shade tutorial - www.onlinefabricstore.net/makersmill/how-to-make-a-roman-shade/ We don't have one using mini blinds, but maybe this will help you get to where you need to be to figure it out!

[@kunibalasahoo7835]

So beautiful sofa cover madam I like it

[@Gola0390]

Next time try cutting the piping fabric a bit wider and on a bias for a neater appearance and smoother corners.:)

[@chunfu11]

I live in a tropical island, I don’t like to use zipper which is always rusted very quick. Your velcro saves me. I am going to put them on my new cushions.

[@onlinefabricstore]

Great idea!!

[@LinYouToo]

This is a great video. I am about to make outdoor box cushions for my patio and I was debating on whether to do piping or not but you’ve made it look pretty easy. Is there a reason why you didn’t cut your piping on the bias (45°) for a stretch and better wear?

[@rogerpepin9050]

Same concern i have. Why no bias cut?

[@LinYouToo]

What size piping do you recommend for patio cushions? Is 1/4 inch too large?

[@deejano19]

Great tutorial. I wouldn't have attempted to do this on my own but after watching your video, I think I can. I have already purchased batting. Can I use that instead of the dacron fabric, or are they one and the same?

[@onlinefabricstore]

You got this! You can use batting. It is a little trickier to work with than dacron but by that I mean that you will just need a little extra finessing to get it to lay down properly. Best of luck with your project! We are here to help if anything comes up!

[@EvilScubaKitty]

Can I use this tutorial, omit the bottom fabric and just staple the sides to the wooden "base"?

[@dthomascful]

I followed this to the tee and enjoyed the ease at which it went together, but once I tried to squeeze the stiff foam into the opening , the lack of give in the foam I used made it impossible to push into the opening. Any suggestions for this situation?

[@faridahhassan4769]

Piping for cushion

[@jaycee9605]

Do I need to used the wrapping around the cushion for my patio set that may get wet but not soaked? The sofa and chairs are in a screened porch and somewhat protected by rain. I plan to make a boxed cover. With zippers but like the Velcro idea! Do I need to make/sew on some piping?

[@onlinefabricstore]

You don't need to! I would recommend using an outdoor foam (www.onlinefabricstore.com/product-group-foam-and-padding.aspx?characteristic=outdoor) because even though it will not get soaked by the rain you do want to protect it against mildew. Also, the piping it totally personal preference, you do not have to include it!

[@ivel38]

Great video, what kind of adhesive did you attach the leftover pieces of foam together ? Thanks.

[@onlinefabricstore]

It is called pro stick. It is on backorder right now, but you can find it here - www.onlinefabricstore.com/pro-stick-65-hi-strength-web-spray-adhesive-.htm

[@sarahrubach6490]

what is the fabric that you used to spray on the foam?

[@chriscurrie5238]

Can I just ask, you said cut the fabric to size of foam plus 1 inch, is that the size of foam plus the Dacron padding or the original foam dimensions so that it is plumper? Great video btw. Thank you. Chris

[@onlinefabricstore]

You are going to want it to use the size of the original dimensions of the foam. When you are making cushions or pillows, you want the cover to be a little smaller than what you think you need so they look nice and plump.

[@Dominolly]

Really good tutorial, thank you. By the way, you sound exactly like Kate Andrews of The Spectator. Are you related?

[@hashiwijesinghe1572]

You are best women.love u

[@susancoleman1490]

Thanks, great video…may I ask what fabric marker you are using, thanks again

[@onlinefabricstore]

It is a Clover Chaco Liner Pen. Unfortunately, we don't have them for sale at the moment (we're working on it) but oh my goodness its my favorite sewing tool right now.

[@susancoleman1490]

Thanks

[@conniepetz9379]

Get tutorial- wish I’d seen this before it took me 4 years to finish recovering my outdoor furniture. 🤪

[@onlinefabricstore]

OOF. Welp... make sure you save it so you have it in a few years.

[@anthonyfrattalone9937]

Why do you have to wrap the foam? Is there a certain type of foam and wrap recommended for outdoor use? Thanks a lot!

[@onlinefabricstore]

It will soften the edges. For outdoor cushions, I actually don't use the cushion wrap. The less material the better with outdoor cushions, drying is of the upmost importance. Without the wrap, the edges are going to look a little more sharp, but if you don't like that look you can round them out a bit by cutting the edge on top slightly (I would say but off 1/8" at a 45 degree angle.)

[@brittanycavanaugh9088]

I loved this tutorial and constructed my cushions but noticed my Velcro sticks to the Dacron when I was stuffing the cushion. I noticed a thin gauze-like fabric that you wrapped around the Dacron. What is that called? Or do you have any suggestions to avoid the Velcro sticking to the Dacron?

[@onlinefabricstore]

The dacron cushion wrap we used comes with that thin material already attached. www.onlinefabricstore.com/cushion-dacron-wrap-fabric-.htm But you could probably use any thin material to wrap it, or try to cover the hook side of the velcro when putting in the cushion. Maybe with masking tape or painters tape.

hello merry Christmas very beautiful videos and sewing skills please kindly film how to thread and operate the sewing machine you used in this video please kindly let me know OK?thank you very much and have a beautiful day 😊

[@10nitrogen10]

You only showed how to stitch one side of the corded panels and you don't show how to line up the second one so they match.

[@user-zj5sm5dc9z]

Hi! Is there a reason that you recommend a zipper foot? I'm a novice!

[@onlinefabricstore]

The zipper foot is able to sew closer to zippers and piping.

[@gardenia1953]

I am recovering 4 patio chair covers. I would love to have just bought new ones. It might have been cheaper but I could not find any to fit so I am doing them myslef. I have not sewed in years. I am the point of sewing the panel to the top and bottom piece. My question is, what foot do you recommend for this step? I cannot get close enough to the piping with my standard foot.

[@onlinefabricstore]

They make piping feet! You can get them online, or at sewing stores for pretty cheep

[@gardenia1953]

[@garthmitton1857]

Would a zipper foot work as well?

Jeepers, I can't wait until America finally catches up with the rest of the world and embraces the *metric* system. The measurements are _so_confusing... 🥴 Surely counting in units of _10_ is infinitely easier than counting in 16ths?! 🫨 That aside, the project was very successful; thank you for the tutorial. 🙏🏼
