Welt Cord Tutorial
It's that time of year to update outdoor cushions, change out the sofa pillows, and put on the spring slipcovers!
When sewing a pillow or cushion with covered welt cord (piping), you can join the ends by simply lapping one side over the other and sewing down, or you can actually sew the ends together for a nice professional finish.
It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy. Refer to this post to see how I cut the welt cover in strips and join them.
(for single welt, I cut the strips 1 1/2")
Have you tried this method? How do you sew welted pillow covers? Would love to hear from you!
Have an awesome weekend!
