Your Questions & Comments
I am making a cushion with the back in a velvet fabric. Have you got any tips on how to prevent the velvet creeping when stitching the two sides together?
Can you advise on how you reduce bulk in the corners if cushions overlooked around all sides? Presumably, one cannot trim corners otherwise the overlocking will unravel?
Otherwise, love your videos....great for visual learners!
Many thanks
You can clip the corners and not overlock those areas if it is a really bulky fabric.
