    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 RUclips 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 RUclipsr, 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 🙂

    RUclips has changed the way they monetize my content. My channel now needs 1,000 subscribers so it would be amazing if you could show your support by both watching my videos and subscribing to my channel! Monetizing my videos allows me to invest back into the channel with new equipment to improve the viewing quality so a small gesture from you goes a huge way for me :-) Many thanks for your support!

I was initially so overwhelmed and unsure whether I'd be able to pull it off, but your video gave me confidence and I'm now attaching the border and zip to the facings. Thanks so much for wanting to give back and well done on teaching yourself! I pray that your business is thriving in 2023!! 🙏🏻

    Hi Neil,
    To trim down the piping I took out the thread from my cheap Singer overlocker and ran it through there just using the blade as ir struggled overlocking the piping from outdoor fabric. That was a good compromise for me.

Looks like the industrial class machine and the overlocker might force me to keep using my basic methods.

    I like your style of quick, not long-winded! People can pause and re-watch, which I do on most tutorials anyway. I was wondering-- did you use single welt foot for the zip or a zipper foot? And where do you start sewing the welt on the facing, on the front or around the side? Thanks!

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  2 года назад

      Hi Audrie, sorry for the delay in replying. Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it 😊🙏🏻 I used a single welt foot for the zip and I start sewing the welt on the facing at the back where the join is going to be as it looks much better if the join is around the back of the cushion so it’s hidden - I hope that helps 👍🏻

    Great helpful video. I have done a couple of projects over the years by following a magazine which I have lost. Starting to cover outdoor cushions without cording. Do you cut the zipper facing wider and cut it in half? I lost focus at the beginning? Thank you so much!

    • @faceliftinteriors

      Hi Susan! I take the finish size of the boarder and half it then I add an inch and a quarter (half inch for sewing and then 3/4 inch for folding for the zip). And obviously you have two of them for the zip. Hope this makes sense 😊

    Thank you for bringing this to us. I have never made seat cushions but will certainly use yours. Mind you make it look easy. I don't have an over locker, so how would I go about this. I also need to make the actual cushions, also hoping to upholster too. I will look at your videos. Thanks once again 😊😊

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  2 года назад +1

      Hi Anita! Thank you so much for watching. The overlocking isn’t essential for the piping - the fabric I was using was a linen so does tend to fray so I find it best to overlock but isn’t essential. Have a look through my videos for any that could help you along your way - if I can help you further, let me know and I will try my best 😊👍🏻
