Watched video 7:14pm on 9/5. Thank you! I have bought some beautiful upholstery fabric to recover my sining room chairs. The seat back has a piped edge. Many I can do it now. Will practice ❤
In another channel, an upholstery professional said to leave some slack between the seam and the cord, so when you sew the piping to the fabric that seam is hiden. I guess that requirement depends on project as well. Thanks for the tutorial.
Absolutely! When you stitch the piping into your project, you do want to make that line of stitching on or fractionally closer to the cord in the piping. I didnt include a full section on adding the piping to your project in this video, I might have to add a second video 😃.
Do take a look at my website for all the different patterns and tutorials I have available Lori. The Starlight Wallet is a cute little make with piping
Thanks, very useful. I don't have a standard piping foot for my Janome but I do have the adjustable zipper /piping foot which should work well. If possible I'd love to see more of you adding the trimmed piping to projects.
This may cause an eye-raise to many, but I really want to understand this. When you say, “if you need a 1/2” piping”, is the piping width suppose to match the seam allowance for the project? Also, is the cord supposed to be included in that width or just the fabric next to it. I hope that makes sense AND that this is not too stupid a question. Thank you for the video!
Its not a daft question at all, I was thinking of maybe doing another video about that! It depends if you want the piping 1/2" in total or you want to use a seam allowance of 1/2". Make your piping up as shown, then if you need 1/2" piping, trim so the total width of the piping is 1/2". If you have something where you are required to have a 1/2" seam allowance, trim the piping so it measures 1/2" in width fromthe stitch line to the raw edge. Hope that helps
Can a zipper be installed with piping on either side? I like to make zipper bags/pouches and think it would look nice to have piping in contracting fabric along the sides of the zipper. I enjoyed your video.

I might film another showing you how to attach and achieve your required seam allowance next xx
@@SpencerOgg yes, that is my question.. that looks pretty wide and your seams are 3/8th
@@sandiegal2070 Yes, we would trim the piping down after making it to the required width/seam allowance for our project
Thank you so much, it was a great help indeed
Glad it helped!

Thank you so much! Yes, that clears it up!
For a robe can I use bias satin tape and do the same process?
Yes, no reason why not!
@SpencerOgg thank you very much!!
I bought a piping foot for my overlocker (serger) and never looked back, it creates the piping and trims the edge at the same time.

Yes, absolutely you can add piping to a zip edge - it would look stunning. Just insert it at the same time as the zip
@@SpencerOgg Thank you for your reply. I will try to do that. If you ever do a tutorial on adding piping to a zip edge I would love to see it.
