Thank you so very much. I've sewn since I was a pre-teen, even winning a Singer sewing contest & making my wedding gown. It's been many years so I came here for tips on making cushions. I didn't realize that I really came here for a little confidence boost that you provided me & probably others. I appreciated you admitting that some areas can be difficult but we all have to start somewhere. Those are words to live by and I hope they resonate with your viewers. It was very kind of you to take the time to share your knowledge and I wanted to thank you. BTW. Great job on the chair.

I love your videos! ❤❤I am getting back into upholstery after a 20 year break from it. These KZbin things did not exist "back in the day", and I cannot believe how awesome it is to use these to up my game! During my long sabbatical I took up quilting. I have been stealing some of my quilting techniques and using them in my upholstery projects. One thing you might consider - when "joining" your piping raw edges, cut the folded end at a 45 degree angle. It will reduce the bulk of fabric at the join, and give you much less of an obvious bump. If you have thick, stubborn fabric (I did a couch with dog-proof fabric, and ugh - super difficult), use a glue stick to "baste" that angled fold in place while you stitch. OR...another option is to baste the piping at the join with a stapler. Yeah! A standard, light weight desk stapler. Who woulda thunk it?? The staple never hurts anything because it's buried in the seam. I got that from another KZbinr, and thought it was insane. Staples in your CUSHION? Sounds like staples in your bum. But it works. You probably don't need these types of tricks, since you have an awesome machine and you do this full time, but those of us who do this as a hobby or are just getting started might need some help keeping that fabric and piping lined up just perfect 🙂

Velvets can come up really nice 👍🏻 Warwick Fabrics do a lovely velvet range called ‘Plush’, which are reasonably priced.

Hello if the part in the middle where the zip stands is 15 cm, did that dimension remain or do you drop a few centimeters or millimeters

Nice one. Neve tried sewing might just give it a go. BTW what foam do you use for your chair seat and back cushions.
@faceliftinteriors3 жыл бұрын
Hi Sony! It depends on what the customer wants but I’ll either use high density gold or pink foam for the seat cushions. Back cushions I use channel fibre cushions. Hope that helps 😊👍🏻
