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 KZread 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 KZreadr, 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 🙂

Your video has been so helpful. I've also taught myself to sew, using countless KZread videos. I'm now making a fitted foam cushion cover, with piping and a zip.

Thanks for the video. I have heard from some industrial sewers that a cylinder arm machine allows you to do three dimensional objects with a little more ease. However, most of the upholsterers that I see on KZread use a flatbed machine. So that leads up to my question: is there any advantage to using a cylinder machine for upholstry work?

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 😊👍🏻

I searched for instructions on Box Cushion DIY and yours was the first to pop up. I’ve made covers before but this time I’m trying to cover a foam mattress remnant so my kids dog can have yet another comfy place to lay down, he’s a 120 pound Yellow Lab mix named Rex. I really liked your video style, and your sewing skills are amazing-and you didn’t pin or iron anything. Wow, very impressive. I’m wondering if the bottom of the dog bed cover is upholstery type vinyl does it need to be folded over twice when attaching it to the zip or will one fold (or even just using the raw vinyl edge) suffice? I’m using up some of my fabric remnants bits which is making a large cushion cover a lot more work- so typical of me to make life harder than it needs to be. Thanks!

Hi there! I’m so sorry I missed your comment, I didn’t receive a notification that it came through. One fold for vinyl on a zip should be fine 👍🏻 I hope it turned out great!! Thank you for watching 😊
