How to make piping for pillows and cushions
Home Decor Sewing 201 Series: Peg demonstrates her method for cutting bias strips for piping (welt cord) for the "Little Striped Cushion" Project.








Make your throw pillows pop with a super simple striping trick. Fold your material like you're making a paper fan. Secure it with clothes pins. Load paint on a roller. Run the roller along the edges of the pleats, unpinning as you go. Spread the fabric out and you have instant pinstripes. Find more home decor products at www.Lowes.com.

really useful video. I do not know how to contact you direct - can you please let me know? I want to buy a cutting mat and tool like the ones you use. I am in the UK, so can you please let me know what sort of board and cutting tool you use? I cut 300gm fleece and faux suede. many thanks

Thank you for specifying that piping can be made using either bias or cross grain strips. I was wondering!

By the way, if you're not currently a subscriber, I invite you to join! As a subscriber you can request tutorials for specific sewing projects. If it is within my area of experience, I'd be very happy to produce a tutorial for you.

Piping (or welt) strips can be cut on the bias or on the cross grain regardless of the pattern. I prefer making my strip on the bias because the resulting piping has more flexibility. Either way is fine; you may even prefer cutting on the cross grain when you're short on fabric. Please let me know your project is progressing; I wish you every success!

I appreciate your slow tempo as a relative beginner. Thank you so much. Your videos are fantastic. I've selected a solid fabric, for my kitchen chairs, duck I believe. For solids, is it as necessary to cut on the bias? It seems like I should probably still cut for piping on the bias?

My sewing table is covered with a cutting mat, measuring 36x59. I purchased it from JoAnn Fabrics. It's available on their website.

Hi, i'm from Malta and have just started a Tailoring course. I am noticing in your clip that your working top is covered with a measuring mat. Can you explain what it is called and if i can purchase one online? Thanks for your lessons
