Dang are people rude! I never comment but for those saying this was rushed - there is a wealth of information in the blog post that, had you taken the time to look hard enough, would have answered many of the questions(complaints) below. Thanks for the FREE, very helpful, content!

Rushed? No way! Straight to the point and easy to understand. Maybe people need to learn the basics and return to this when they are ready.

Some people need others to live the hard part of life for them… most likely they expected someone to buy everything & make it for them!

Very good vision. Got right to the job with no silly small talk that too many people do. Thank you❤

Thank you for telling me ask the proper words for this. I read looking for tutorials and couldn't find the proper words !

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You have inspired me to make one as a sort of a daybed. Very concise and to-the-point dictation, my favorite kind. I can't fail with these perfectly laid out instructions.

Thanks for the easy, straightforward tutorial! It was exactly what I needed!! 😀

This was amazing! I always wondered what those curved upholstery needles were for. 😄

Truly amazing. Gave me some great ideas for upcoming projects. Thanks a lot.

Thanks!!! And clips instead of pins! Excellent!

I want you to know you helped me create a comfortable space during this stay-at-home time. I made two cushions by hand (me, who does not sew!) because my sewing machine gives me too much grief.

I make doggy beds for my 2 shepherds. Working with the foam, I use an electric knife. I spray silicone spray on the blades and then start cutting the foam. Goes so quickly and I have straighter lines.....

It would be so helpful if you had the links to the videos you talked about with the buttons and the closing stitch!

The dacron and the "padding", are the same thing right? In the 1st part, steps, your saying "dacron" and "padding" almost as if they're two separate parts but yet are the same material being used around the foam cushion. I think, but just checking to make sure I'm not missing a layer I should be having in this project.

Thanks for the tutorial.. Love the look. How long did it take you to make the cushion?

@onlinefabricstore

3 жыл бұрын

Of course! The cushion itself didn't take more than an hour to make, so that was not bad. But the tufting does take quite some time. I would say that it probably took me close to two (maybe even three) hours to finish that up. It's pretty mundane work though so I recommend putting on a movie and just taking it slow.

How thick is your piece of foam? How many yards of fabric did you use? Is it a velour? Can you link the fabric?

@onlinefabricstore

Hi Randi, this foam is 3 inches thick. The fabric is called Bella Velvet Caribbean: www.onlinefabricstore.com/morgan-fabrics-bella-velvet-caribbean-fabric-.htm

Thank you for the tutorial! Is the batting necessary? Not sure if I could skip?

@amritadass4364

I read that the batting helps make the edges of the foam smoother and more comfortable, I also saw that it prevents long term erosion of the foam but I can't say how true that is.

how do i make it round

I want to modify this to create a baffled comforter. Instead of tufting and stuffing with foam, I'd like to create boxes that can be attached to each other somehow. Have you seen anyone try to make a truly baffled comforter or quilt, rather than just a box stitch or a puff quilt?

@onlinefabricstore

3 жыл бұрын

I think I would make a baffled comforter by stuffing each section individually as I sew a grid into the blanket. It is going to take more time, but that is going to give you the cleanest look

Can this type of cushion be used if you're making your own sofa

@onlinefabricstore

Absolutely!

I am a very experienced sewist. I can't get my corners to match up. It doesn't matter how many times I clip and reclip the sides. I'm having such a hard time. I wish I'd done boxed corners instead. Zooming in to show how you sewed the corners would have been very helpful for me. I'm coming up short on my fabric on one end.

@onlinefabricstore

You could always try sewing each piece of boxing to the corresponding side and then sew the corners after the fact!

Thanks for the vidéo, juste for information it's not a french matress it's a marocain matress.

Well, that looks easy enough, but I'm afraid putting the huge foam part inside is going to be a challenge.

Why not just continue with the same thread instead of cutting it for every tuft?

you skipped the end soooo quickly..

,,😍🥰👏👏👏🤗🙋🇵🇪😘

I'm still messing this up.

Just a correction - this is not French, this was imported from North Africa!!!!

It's a really really good idea to use spray adhesive without a mask. Because lungs are totally replaceable.

It’s beautiful, but it sounds like a lot of nasty chemicals (foam, adhesive...). 😬

Wow, that was rushed and unclear. The sewing part is easy. I was here for the tufted sides and had to watch several times to get the idea. Frankly I haven’t tried it yet because I don’t feel confident enough. Why? You talked to fast and moved without showing the actual technique. You appear to do beautiful work though.
