Sewing Curved Knee Roll Cushions - The Ultimate Guide

[@dawnbowie352]

I don't sew marine cushions, but canvas and leather items for patios. So impressed with learning about the solutions to sewing on thick, curved items. Eric, you are humble when others make comments that differ. And you provide assistance to support those who offer other solutions. Great makers like you allow for everyone to learn, comment and find what works best in their situation. Love Sailrite DIY videos and their content gurus! ❤

Thank you for your kind words and support! It's always great to hear that our videos are helpful to makers like you.

This was a great tut! Eric, you make it all seem so doable. I appreciate the appropriate amount of repetition and skipping the rest. Why I never thought about the vacuum... So good!

Excellent instruction and cudos to the videographer!!!

Totally Awesome 👍

Bravo Zulu! That does indeed look difficult. If you can do something like that you can do anything. Here I thought that just putting piping on a cushion was making things overly difficult. But we were very impressed that with the help of your videos we very successfully lined up the stripes on our striped fabric for our own settee cushions. Sailrite videos are the best in the DIY makerspace.

@@SailriteDIY Actually I have already made a boat cover for my 27 foot sailboat, an anchor riding sail, a mainsail cover, the drogue line kit that you sell, a mini split cover, cushions for my outdoor patio and a ton of other small stuff! I have learned an incredible amount from watching your videos! Not only do they teach proper technique they also show me how to employ new tools (that I may not have known about) and, of course, they inspire me! Thank you again for the amazing support and equipment that you continuously provide! P.S. the worker bee upgrade absolutely rocks! I LOVE it!

As a Salty Tailor making boat cushions and canvas here in Sarasota, FL, I recommend NOT USING "cushion underlining" for a structural bottom plate. It rips very easy once a hole or small rip begins. It is far too weak. Mesh is still the best option for bottom plates of boat cushions. I know this after using this material a few years ago and having customers complain about it. And the many rip repairs I have had to do because of that material. YMMV 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@SailriteDIY]

Oh wow, I have not had that happen, but I will take your word for it. So... instead you may want to consider Phifertex or Phifertex Plus mesh or Textilene for the underlining fabric. Thanks for your recommendation!!!!

What is this used for?

[@SailriteDIY]

These cushions are most often found on boats. The idea is the knee roll helps to keep the occupant in the seat when the boat is pitching back and forth. It is also very attractive in most peoples opinion.

[@sitrep123]

extending the line on the 1" drop on the cusion, the lines will no longer match up to the lower cushion!
