Sewing Top Couch Slipcover Panel to Cushion

Video Transcript

"Next we are going to sew our panel to our cushion, and we need to start by finding that; that back edge where we overlapped out piping. Let me see; right here is our piping overlap so that's the back of the cushion, o.k. And the other thing we have to do is mark the other side; the corners of our, where we're going to pivot; where we're going to take the corner. So the way to do that is to find the corner; you want to make sure that we have a nice square edge there. We don't want to have one corner here and one corner here, or anything in between. You want to have it nice and square here. So at the corner; here's our corner, you're going to fold it down flat so that the edges match. And then fold that across so that we've, so that the panel edges line up straight and that will give us a nice square edge here, that's a nice square corner. Now when you get that position then you want to mark it with a pin or you can take a marking pencil and mark it and you can even go ahead and snip it just a little bit, just about an 1/2 an inch; no more than the seam allowance o.k. So that will mark our corner and we'll no where to start, where to; to place the side panel there. And then you go to the other corner; this is the corner where we had the overlap, so fold that overlap down. And again you want to take; there's our, there's our corner; you fold that together so the sides match and then fold everything nice and straight so you have a nice square corner there. And then mark this edge. Now we know where to place our bottom panel. On this corner marking we're going to place; here's our, our bottom edge; there's our piping overlap so we know that's our bottom edge. And we're going to place the corner right at the corner, o.k. The corner that we marked to the corner of that, the bottom edge. And again over here the corner that we marked to the corner of the edge. And then we'll sew that section from corner to corner. Then we'll continue down the same way we did for the, the previous panel; you'll continue all the way around with the snipping at the corners and the pivoting around until we get to that end, the folded overlap section and I'll show you how to do that."
