Make a Quick Winter Boat Cover for Your Sailboat @SailriteDIY

Sailrite Watch this video and make your own quick winter boat cover. The “Quick Winter Boat Cover” process is faster and easier to make than the “Traditional Winter Boat Cover” process. Why is that? Well for one, instead of making boots for a better seal at all obstacles, such as stanchions, a simple slit is made in the fabric to allow for obstacles to protrude. Second instead of making zipper flaps, zippers are simply sewn alongside the fabric’s edge which is covered in binding.

Create Custom Seat Cushions for Sailboat Cockpit & More

Sailrite 2024-04-22 | In this video we will show you how to sew cockpit cushions for a boat. Don’t own a boat? No problem. The cushion-making approach in this video works great for many other types of cushion applications for your home, RV, office, outdoor seating areas and more. This type of cushion-making technique features a zipper on the underside — not in the boxing — and continuous boxing instead of boxing that is seamed at each corner. After watching this video you too will see how easy and fun it is to make cushions for yourself and save money!

How to Sew Your Own V-Berth Cushions Like a Pro

Sailrite 2024-04-12 | You can save money by making your own v-berth cushions with supplies from Sailrite and by watching this tutorial video. For maximum comfort we layered the foam for these v-berth cushions with a firm foam on the bottom and a soft foam on top. This layering technique helps to prevent bottoming out, which should provide the best possible sleep while on a boat. The cushion covers are made with a solution-dyed acrylic performance fabric called Outdura®, which is a highly UV resistant and stain resistant; it’s a quality fabric that will last for years. It is not that difficult to make your own cushions following this steps in this video. Let’s get started!

Sewing Curved Knee Roll Cushions - The Ultimate Guide

Sailrite 2024-03-12 | Learn how to make a curved knee roll cushion that has a fabric backside. 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.

Topstitching: Mastering Thread End Tie-Offs

Sailrite 2024-03-04 | Learn how to properly tie off the start and end points of your thread when topstitching with this easy tutorial. 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!

Discover the Secret of Using a Facing as Binding

Sailrite 2024-02-01 | Did you know that you can use a 2" facing as a binding? 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.

Make Your Own Platform Cushion

Sailrite 2023-11-08 | You can make a platform cushion yourself following this tutorial. This style of cushion has foam that rests on a backer board then decorative fabric is pulled over the foam and is stapled to the underside of the board. To build this style of cushion a top plate and separate boxing pieces are cut from the fabric for each side of the cushion. Boxing pieces are sewn together at the corners and that assembly is sewn to the top plate of fabric. This cushion can be square, rectangular or even irregularly shaped. You can make this platform cushion for your boat, RV or home by following this tutorial and with supplies from Sailrite.

Master Making The 30 Minute Cushion

Sailrite 2023-11-03 | The 30 Minute Box Corner Cushion is a simple & fast method for sewing a cushion cover. It utilizes one panel of fabric to make the entire cushion cover (unless it is a rather large cushion). No boxing, no zipper plaque, no top or bottom plates just one panel of fabric. This type of cushion basically wraps around the foam with a zipper installed at the back. Patterned fabric can run from top front all the way around to the bottom, inherently. This cushion totally flippable, you can use both sides. After making two or three it will take about 30 minutes to make another, it is truly a super fast way to make a cushion cover.

NOTE: This cushion technique can only be used for square or rectangular shaped cushions. If making an irregularly shaped cushion use this tutorial: youtu.be/84XwFCqCfRY

- BUILD CALCULATIONS -
CUTTING TOP PLATE TO SIZE:
Desired finished length + 1” = Cut length
Desired finished width/depth + 1/2” = Cut width/depth

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 WIDTH CUT SIZE:
CushionRite® Premium, Standard & Dry Fast: Foam thickness + 1/2” = Cut width
CushionRite® Flotation (Closed Cell): Foam thickness + 3/4” = Cut width

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. (Basically that means you are adding ¼” to all sides of the foam).

- BUILD CALCULATIONS -
CUTTING FOAM TO SIZE:
Add 1/2” to both dimensions to the desired finished size of the cushion. (Basically that means you are adding ¼” to all sides of the foam).

CUTTING TOP PLATE TO SIZE:
Desired finished length + 1” = Cut length
Desired finished width/depth + 1/2” = Cut width/depth

CUTTING TWO BOTTOM PLATES TO SIZE:
Use the top plate as a template for the bottom plate (it will be almost the same size except for ½” added for seam allowance at the center).

BOXING WIDTH CUT SIZE:
CushionRite® Premium, Standard & Dry Fast: Foam thickness + 1/2” = Cut width
CushionRite® Flotation (Closed Cell): Foam thickness + 3/4” = Cut width

BOXING LENGTH CUT SIZE:
Boxing length should be the same length of each of the bottom plate’s edges.

CENTER HINGE BOXING WIDTH CUT SIZE:
Boxing cut width/height - 1” = A
(A x 2) + 1” = Cut width of center boxing

DIY Staple on Fabric Fence Panels

Sailrite 2023-07-17 | In this video, we'll show you how to make staple on vinyl mesh fence panels. These panels are a great way to add a touch of elegance to your outdoor yard or patio. We built these fabric fence panels to hide unsightly pool equipment. Vinyl mesh fence panels are a great way to add privacy to your property without having to spend a lot of money. In this video we will explain how we built the wooden frame and most importantly how to staple the vinyl mesh over the wooden frame. This fabric fence structure is easy to construct, the vinyl mesh fabric wraps around the bottom and is simply stapled to the top and capped for a finished look on both the front and back sides.

If you love to DIY this project is rather easy from installation of posts, rails and then finally stapling the fabric in place and caping with wooden trim board. These three fabric fence panels from setting posts, framing and installing fabric and capping were finished in 4 to 5 hours.

Tips for Sewing Large Piping - Ultrafeed® Sewing Machines

Sailrite 2023-06-23 | Sewing large cording or piping can be tricky and often requires a roping zipper foot instead of a cording foot, even if the cording foot is labeled "large". 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.
