What happened to the rest ? Another video ? !!!

[@jenniferroserocks8017]

This is great! Thank you for showing how to do these corners and do them well. Is there a link or name of a video that shows how you finish this? Thank you again.

[@shellymillerleer]

I have some more videos of it. I need to post them.

After watching 7 other tutorials I finally found your's Shelly - Perfect! You gave excellent instruction. Thank you. I'm glad you walked us through the corners in detail ( that's why I'm here) . I had been really struggling with the corners on my project for a neat (bulk free ) finish and tentative to cut away the bulk. My project is complete and I'm really pleased with the result.

[@shellymillerleer]

Hi Sharon, I'd love to see your finished product. Thank you so much for posting this.

Great video! Where can I find the video on how to sew the corners? Thanks!

[@junglejimperez9825]

I would like to see that as well. Video on sewing the corners . would like to see some videos with vinyl also

[@shellymillerleer]

Looking for that footage in the next couple of weeks.

[@willbelieverable]

Mam, is this your job. I wish I could start something like that down here in Brazil. Congratulations for your cool video.

[@akabga]

Thanks! The corners of my bench seat looks great, in spite of the fact that I was too nervous to cut the bulk off before rounding the corner.

[@sylvieeliche5755]

Thanks a lot ! I love the fabric, where can I find it ? (I live in France)

[@shellymillerleer]

HI! It's a rug I bought at an import store called World Market.

[@auroreyogazumba707]

Your video is great, thank you so much, and I found your voice calm and clear, your instruction excellent. Thank you for taking the time to make and upload this video. :-)

[@shellymillerleer]

Thank you! I really would love a calm and clear voice. I'm glad you felt that I did. I need to upload the remainder of this project--sewing up the corners. Time is always illusive!! Thanks for watching.

Where can I purchase the spun Dacron poly filling??

[@shellymillerleer]

You can get upholsterer's dacron batting from an upholstery supplier. The spun dacron is loose filling like the filling in pillows, only extremely soft. Not all spun poly is the same. This stuff is really silky and soft.

[@treasureman1198]

Where can I buy the stuffing good job by the way

[@lilianacruz735]

I got mine from walmart for 10 dollars

[@vinprosper5659]

Thx! Helps a lot! 😃

[@shellymillerleer]

You're welcome!

[@lindsaywolfe3415]

Where is the second part where you hand stitch? I can't seem to find the video

[@shellymillerleer]

I have that video. I'll post it.

[@bethannsimmons7336]

Shelly Miller Leer I cant see or find the final video on this finished product. Help?

[@BlessMedia2426]

Amazing what equipment do I need to make this

[@shellymillerleer]

You need either an electric or pneumatic stapler. I wouldn't even try it with a manual staple gun. It's too hard to do. You need a sturdy curved needle to stitch it and a good, sharp pair of scissors.

[@brettsilva7317]

What is daycron is that like Dacron? ;)

[@shellymillerleer]

It is Dacron!

[@pamelapace7238]

How much fabric do I need

[@shellymillerleer]

It depends upon the size of your frame and the thickness of the padding. Do you have a frame?

What does this have to do with a rug?

[@CFinch360]

The rug is used for the fabric upholstery.

[@AmandaDragmire]

@@CFinch360 thinnest. rug. ever.

[@shellymillerleer]

Not really. It's an area rug from World Market. It was tough to work with.

[@coffeeandtea6633]

You are a perfectionist. But ...waited for the start to finish and you spent waaaaay too much time on the corner !

[@shellymillerleer]

That was the point of this video.

[@mariagarza2140]

You taking to long to do the corners , I did one & I took less than 5 min. To do it

[@shellymillerleer]

I wasn't trying to show how fast I could do it, I was slowly teaching people how to do it. Sometimes, people really need to see the slow and methodical process, not how fast you can do it. Thanks for your comment.

[@shellymillerleer]

Good for you!!
