Connect Piping For a Round Pillow

Video Transcript

"Ok, so like I told you in the previous clip, I'm going to show you how to meet these two ends of the piping together. Where the piping cord is, meets end to end. And there's a different way you could criss cross it if you want. But for this project I want it to meet just like this so it will look really nice and professional. So I want to hold it about right here and I want to give myself an inch. A little extra inch right here. And I'm just going to trim that off right there. And then with the same scissors I'm going to go in and break this seam that keeps the cording inside the piping case. And you want to do it beyond the end of the beginning of the piping. This is the end, and of course this is the beginning. So we're breaking the thread right at the ending of the piping. And then I'm just going to open it up, just like this. And when I open it up, what I want to do is just turn under the end just about, I'll say half an inch. Not more than that. There we go, so it makes a little case right there. And then I'm going to just basically set the beginning of the piping inside of here. And then I have this extra tail, because I have too much cording. So I'm going to trim off this cording so it fits flush with the beginning of the piping cording. So I'm just going to hold it, and just snip it. This stuff is real flexible. I can push it around a little bit. So if its a little bit too short or a little bit to long. Oh look it came undone, but that's ok. Let me turn it back up. Ok, there we go. And you can see inside of here, they meet right there. And I'm just going to fold it over, just like that. And this is from where I broke that thread. Let me just snip this off. There we go. Ok, so now that I did that, I'm just going to go in and start sewing where I had stopped the first time. You want to back stitch right there. And here's this area just right in here. If you have to, go back in there, adjust it, push it all together. And we take a peak of where you chalk mark is right there. Ok, I'm ready to go. Ok, we got it in there. Ok, and that looks really really good. That's where the two piping ends meet. And you can barely even tell. Now that we have that done, the next step is for us to go in and actually put the two pieces of the pillow together. And we'll do that in the next step."
