Right? Don't get me wrong, these are fantastic videos that include lots of valuable information that can be used in all kinds of circumstances, but... I definitely find myself wondering why I'm watching something I will never use...
Another great instructional video full of tips and tricks! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to share this with all of us! All the best from California 🧡
Is here any difference in the ease of installing the foam (in my case 5" foam) with the zipper on the boxing (zipper plaque) vs having the zipper on bottom plate?
In my opinion installing the zipper in the bottom plate is easier than installing it in the boxing. We have a new Cockpit cushion video coming soon that shows installing the zipper in the bottom plate and using a continuous boxing instead of seamed corner boxing. Be watching for that video coming soon!
You made the side panel with the wedge and zipper the same height as the other sides because it was only .25 inches more than the others. What if the wedge side was bigger - say .50 inches? How would you make the transition from the regular size sides to the taller wedge side?
I think I just figured it out. When you mark and cut the side panels connecting to the wedge panel, you cut them at an angle and that angled cut is probably as long as the width of the wedge panel.
What is the benefit of making a zipper plaque vs. just putting the zipper in the bottom plate (like in the snap down bow cushion video)? The bottom plate zipper appears easier to install with less chance of not having the corners match up...
Why do you put the zipper on the angled edge vs the straight edge where the cushions meet? Does it keep the cushions closer or is there some other reason?
Usually the zipper goes against the hall or wall of the boat in most V-Berth Cushions. In doing that, the occupant will in no way feel the zipper teeth when sleeping.
I believe that there may be an error in the dialogue. In the section where you are cutting the boxing strips to match the length of the top plate, at 26:20 you state that the inside surfaces of the boxing should be facing inside surfaces of the top plate. I believe that it should state that the OUTSIDE surfaces should be facing each other, not the inside surfaces, as we are sewing the cushion inside-out. (??).
Now I know how to sew a cushion cover for the V-birth. I'm glad I've got the hard part out of the way. Now I just need to get a sailboat. 😅

Don't forget the most important part - the sailboat! Cushion covers are nice, but a boat is a bit more essential.

Thanks a bunch for watching and for the support from California!
Thank you for all your time and effort. I would like to see you using the fabricator more often . That's the machine I'm saving for!
The next project is cockpit cushions and we will use the Sailrite Fabricator for that cushion making project, as you wish. Coming soon!!!
Another excellent presentation.
Thank you, and keep them coming!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Your support means a lot to me.
I like this video better than the older v-berth cushion video ( with the yellow striped fabric). It is easier to follow.
Excellent! Glad you liked it.
@@SailriteDIY how much fabric did you used for this particular V-berth?
Wow the cushion turned out amazing, thank you 👍😁
I'm glad you liked how the cushion turned out!
Wow, that looks Great! They fit better than the stock cushions did. Great video, can't wait for another one
Glad you liked it. Cockpit cushions coming next.

It is much easier to install the zipper in the bottom plate than in the boxing. You are totally correct!!!

Oh.... no you are correct. At 26:20 it should be outside surfaces should face each other. Thanks for catching that!!!!

"Say-a-rite" back at you! ;-)
I’m sure this is a terrific video, but the voice just makes it impossible to listen to
