This cushion is made from two pieces of foam, one higher than the other. Because of that it requires a "fabric pull" to be inserted between the two foam pieces to help pull the seating vinyl down between the two foam heights. Since the backside is not a backer-board, but rather fabric, the fabric pull must utilize a zipper which is used to insert the high foam along the exceptionally curvy front.
Watch this tutorial video and learn how to: 1. Cut curvy high and low foam pieces for a perfect fit. 2. Adding a closed-cell foam bottom to keep cushion for soaking water in through bottom. 3. Using match-up marks to sew shapely fabric panels together for a great fit. 4. How to make and sew in a "Zippered Fabric Pull" 5. Sewing odd shaped boxing properly to the cushion's top plate.

A topstitch on a cushion not only looks good, but it helps to strengthen the seam and also keeps the seam allowance on the top plate or side (boxing) of your cushion for a smoother looking edge seam. If you want a more professional looking cushion consider tying off the start and stop point threads of your topstitch instead of reversing. This give the topstitch a continuous looking stitch, no reversing, that does not have a visible start or end point. Whether you're a beginner or experienced sewer, these tips will help you achieve a clean and professional looking finish on all your sewing projects. Watch now and improve your topstitching game!

In this video, we will demonstrate how to use a 2-inch facing tape as a binding (folded over an edge for a finished 1-inch wide binding on both sides). A facing tape is a manufactured piece of canvas or vinyl that has its edges folded under to equal a 2-inch finished tape. It is typically aligned flat along a fabric panel's edges, then bound with a separate piece of binding for a finished-looking edge. On the underside of this 2-inch facing are two hems one on each side, one is about 1/2 wide and the other is about 1 inch wide. The one-inch flange is used as a reinforcement for fasteners which may be installed along an edge of a fabric panel. Or if a zipper is used, instead of fasteners, this 1-inch hem gives the zipper a nice-looking flange that looks finished both outside and inside the flange. In this tutorial video, we will show how to use the Sailrite® 2-inch Swing Away Binder to sew facing as a binding.

Tuck & roll channeling is often use in car, boat and even home upholstery applications. Mostly made using a high quality seating vinyl like EverSoft from Sailrite.

CUTTING TWO BOTTOM PLATES TO SIZE: Bottom plate is the same size as the top plate cut size. However, at the fold position it is cut apart and a 1/2 inch is added for seam allowance to both bottom plates.
BOXING LENGTH CUT SIZE: Cut boxing length should be the same length as each short edge of the rectangular plate. But for the front and the back longer edges two pieces each are required. Their lengths should be measured from outside corners to the center hinge location (topstitch). But add an additional ½” past the hinge location for each of the four pieces required.
CENTER HINGE BOXING WIDTH CUT SIZE: Boxing cut width/height - 1” = A (A x 2) + 1” = Cut width of center boxing
CUTTING FOAM TO SIZE: Add 1/2” to both dimensions to the desired finished size of the cushion.

Consider this, after the vinyl fabrics are folded over the large cording it may increase the size of the assembly to almost 5/16 in thickness, usually way too thick for most cording feet made. In this video we reveal the tips required to sew your large cording (1/4 inch in this video) using the Sailrite® Ultrafeed® Sewing Machines. The techniques will result in a professional looking cording or piping application.
