    102482 Make your own cushions DVD
    One of the most frequent project questions we hear is “How do I sew cushions and how difficult is it to make a cushion?” If you have ever considered making your own cushions this video will answer all of your questions. Sewing and narration are done by Jim and Eric Grant. This video is intended for customers who are new to sewing as well as those more experienced. Eric starts by discussing cushion terminology and then covers each stage of cushion construction. Nothing is left out and by the end of the video a small cushion is complete. Even the process of stuffing the cushion cover with foam is shown.  
    The “Make Your Own Cushions DVD” is divided into three primary topics: Building a Cushion, Building a Cushion with a Wedge Edge and Hints for Larger Cushions. The first topic explores the construction of a small cushion. The techniques shown in this segment are the foundation for building any cushion. The second topic is similar to the first but this cushion example incorporates an angle on one side of the foam. Such an angle is common for boat v-berth cushions where the foam must be tight to the sloped sides of the boat’s hull. The remaining topic primarily shows how to use match up marks when building large cushions so that their corners will line up keeping the cushion plates (top and bottom surfaces) from being skewed.
    Video length: 1 hr. 38 mins.
    This video is a compilation of the streaming cushion videos that are on our web site.
