TH-cam 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!

@@nicolevolcy3511 Thank you so much Nicole! Your support is really appreciated.
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.
Hi there! These are really lovely words to read, thank you so much!! I’m so glad it gives people a little confidence boost 🤗 to be honest, if I can learn…I’m sure anyone can!
@@faceliftinteriors I'm glad we both came away with something to smile about. :)
I want to say a big thank you! I decided to try and re cover an old 2 seater couch which had been given to me, I watched and watched several of your videos and finally completed the re cover! I am so proud of myself and it looks fab (to me) so thank you for sharing all your knowledge xx
Hi Dorothy! Thank you so much for sharing, makes it all seem worth it!! Congrats on your recover - a 2 seater for a beginner is no mean feat, you definitely should be proud of yourself! 😊
I love your videos! ❤❤I am getting back into upholstery after a 20 year break from it. These TH-cam 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 TH-camr, 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 🙂
Hi Kim! It’s great to hear new tips from others - I’m still learning new things all the time so I will always welcome someone sharing their techniques 🤗 thank you for taking the time to leave your comment and happy to hear you’re getting back into upholstery! Glad you enjoy the videos 😊👍🏻
Your video has been so helpful. I've also taught myself to sew, using countless TH-cam videos. I'm now making a fitted foam cushion cover, with piping and a zip. 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 Estelle! That’s really kind of you to say, thank you! I’m so glad you found the video helpful!! 😊🙏🏻
I watched this and then recovered a square footstool and made my own piping! It looked great, thanks for the fun, informative video.

Wonderful tutorial! Thank you for showing the process from beginning to end.
Thank you so much Melanie! I’m glad you liked the tutorial 😊👍🏻
Thank You. As a sewer myself I wanted to watch for any tips you may have. Snipping the pipping at the corner was a good reminder. I kept thinking,
“Poor fellow. There are fabulous scissors available that make it so much easier and better for your hand and arms. “ Just Sayin. Thanks Again. I enjoyed it.
I would have never have thought of overlocking piping. Nice pro tip 😁
Hi Paul! Thanks for watching! Yea I find it easier to get that perfect half inch too for sewing 👌🏻

Thank you
You are awesome!!!! ❤
Thankyou! You rock too dude 🙏🧵⛏️✂️📐
Thank you so much for your efforts with this.....i have done many diy upholstery jobs with nothing but a staple gun and a box knife ( on ski boats) but i always wondered how it is really done. Looks like the industrial class machine and the overlocker might force me to keep using my basic methods.
Thanks so much for watching and for your kind comment 😊👍🏻 this ones a walking foot industrial machine - makes the job a lot easier but you’ve done well to get by with a staple gun and box knife... that takes more skill!
Brilliant tutorial, thank you 😁

Hi Robert! Glad you found the video helpful 😊👍🏻 good luck with your project!!
Give thanks for taking the time to share your skill. I wish I had watched my mom from earlier I idn't like the tacks and staples.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, it’s greatly appreciated 😊🙏🏻
Thank you. I just built an incredible new sofa/pull-out bed/storage piece in our sunroom. I started making the cushions, & everything went wrong-- cutting some foam, & suddenly couldnt cut a straight line, & all of my measuring felt off, & Im like, "I NEED TO LEARN FEOM SOME EXPERTS. So, thank you.
Glad to be of service! Thanks for your support 🙏 😊⛏️📐✂️📎🧵
this guy is fantastic, many thanks
You’re too kind Felicity! Thank you so much for watching 😊👍🏻

No problem - thanks for watching and for your kind comment 😊👍🏻
That was just the ticket. Great clip thank you. 🎉🎉😊

As always GREAT MASTER !!!! CHAPEAU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice armchair with nice fabric
What impresses me about You Maestro is that
I pack the fabric before nailing (I hope to make myself understood) (I don't know English) Instead you (Not just an upholsterer like me) but GREAT ARTIST does not baste the fabric but nails directly immediately !!!!! What else:
CHAPEAU GREAT MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best Wishes.

I'm building my own couch, and just realized I'm not going to get much help from any pros once the frame is built.. trying to learn how to do it on my own. Thank you for your vids, super helpful and hang in there!
Thank you for watching my videos and for your comment 😊🙏🏻 Good luck with your couch! If you need any help along the way, I’d be glad to give you some advice. Let me know how you get on!
FaceLiftInteriors wow, will do.. thank you for replying! I’ll keep watching your channel and pray it helps you.
No worries! Always happy to help a fellow upholstery enthusiast 😊 Thank you so much! Every view is helpful!!
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.
Hi Paul! That was a great idea! It’s a great way to get the perfect half inch on your piping 😊👍🏻 hopefully you can thread it back up easily as I have a nightmare doing it 🤣
Thank you! I can’t find my course notes but this is how I have been taught. Pfff. Saved my bacon here
Haha glad to help!!
Im willing to bet that many of us would sit here and watch/ listen to you all day, I know I could look at you... I meant, listen :) to you all day just slowwww down fast talker.

@@faceliftinteriors you are the best thank you
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for watching Jeff 😊
I wish there was a local place u can learn about upholstery. Such a good skill! I do not know how to sew so this is a struggle!
Thanks Benjamin! I was mostly self taught apart from the basics...if I can do it, anyone can! 👍🏻
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!
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 👍🏻
Love your accent!
Haha thank you 😁👍🏻
