Thank you for your video on down cover for cushions. I want to make a down envelope to hold the foam to make a large upholstery scatter cushion. Your about the nearest I've seen to do this. Apologies if it sounds confusing. im in the UK I'm also a beginner at anything like this. 😊

I have the same problem with my down envelope with a tear . Could you please tell me what type of spray glue you are using?

Thank you for responding to my question. I have a down-wrapped middle cushion on my sofa but it's wrapped around a flattened piece of foam. I think I see how I can replace the foam from this. Love your channel. You are so helpful.

Thank you for this video. I will be trying down wrapped cushions, my question is do you just use foam between the top and bottom down wrap or would you do a layer of cotton batting around form first? Put the foam with batting in it’s own muslin cover then the down as you’ve shown I was thinking.

Thank you sir, question if you were to make a down cushion a reasonable amount to buy per cushion assuming the cushion is say 30 by 32 is there a quick formula. Or do pros have a ton and just use it as they need it. I know what 1lbs of horsehair looks like and what 1lbs will do, but no concept of 1lbs of down looks like and what it can do.
