    Hi, I'm currently installing a Medi Heki 700x500 in my Ford Transit Connect LWB, but I'm facing an issue with the roof profile, which bends in an arch of about 25 mm. This curvature makes it challenging to secure the Medi Heki frame tightly to the roof. I'm looking for any experiences, thoughts, or suggestions for inspiration. Right now, I'm experimenting with wooden frames for the interior that match the roof's profile, but I'm still struggling with the outer fitting of the Medi Heki frame, which leaves a gap due to the roof's bending. All the best; Cheers!

    Seems like you jump to the boxed corners on the fold without showing the side seams….not sure if I missed the sides?

  • @kathywilliford3370
    @kathywilliford3370 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Explain the last two corners again. I don’t understand the measure there. And if I need my zip on the short end, does that change the way I measure?

    This is a great tutorial and I’m ready to go except I’m still confused about the seam allowance. My cushion is 5 inches thick so is it still a 1 inch seam allowance? Not sure if the seam allowance is a standard size or determined by the other dimensions of the cushion.

    when you do the second set of box corners, after putting the zip in, have you already sewn up the seams?

    but how long is the zip? how do you work out how much you need?

    • @lynnebateman1111
      @lynnebateman1111 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      i guess the length of the zip is the length of the side where you want to insert the zip plus a bit more so it goes round the corner a bit

    This is ok tuturial but Ive never seen boxing the corners first. Ive done many jean totes and cusion covers. You can actually cut 2 pieces adding the extra seam allowance. I would sew zipper in first into the 2 flat pieces or if still going with this one piece idea sew in first but your sewing into a tube? Then sew sides. THEN box the corners. Having zipper also go around the edge is a stress point and the zipper could pop open at those edges?
