"I told you in the previous clip, I want to show you now, how to prep the ending piece of the piping to fit over the beginning piece of the piping. And, it's going to look really nice when we get it done. But, the first thing we need to do is, about where we ended, which is pretty far, about two inches away from the very end of the piping. And, I'm going to start breaking these, opening this up. Just snip these, use a seam ripper if you want. I just use the end, the tips of my scissors. Just going to take this whole piece off; and, so you can almost, just open it up and see the cord. That's good, that's what we want to see. But, the idea, of what we want to do, is move this cord out of the way. Just turn this one up, just a little bit, lay this one in. And, once we do that, we figure out how much we want this one to be cut off. And it's just about right there. And don't be scared to do it, just go ahead and give it a good snip. Cut it out, and now they're meeting in the end. And now we just fold it over; how it's nice and even. And now what we do is go back in and continue sewing to the end, on a back stitch, of course. It's my favorite thing to do, and when you get here around this, just treat it, just like it's just like the rest of the piping. Just keep on, there we go. OK, and now that we have this on there, all we'd have to do is go in and sew the top layer. And, I'm just going to go ahead and lay it on top, and sew it on top for you. This is actually really easy and we'll have this whole thing done. Remember not to stretch any of your fabric out, or you'll cause wrinkles. And back stitch there, now let's turn this over and see what it looks like. That just looks really, really nice. You can barely see where the seam starts and ends. And this might be easier for you, than the criss-cross method, or the other one might be easier, but I think this one looks nicer."
