Making new seat cushions? Don’t forget to Dacron wrap!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2018
- Dacron is a must have for all seat cushions! PLEASE READ! Dacron makes your cushions softer, fills corners and gives the cushion a nice crown instead of looking flat! When using Polly Dacron it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cushions. Make your cushion cover to fit the foam before you add the Dacron! DO NOT make an extra sewing allowance! The purpose of Dacron it to over stretch and fill the cushion and adding additional sewing allowance will defeat the purpose.
Here is my Amazon affiliate link to recommend Dacron, spray glue and stapler.

The women's loss in Joanne's. She passed up a wonderful opportunity for free knowledge from an obvious expert. Thank you.
O.k.
@Lyman Griepentrog NO ONE'S INTERESTED! GO AWAY
I'd like to be a fly on the wall when she later googles how to do this and HE pops up here on UA-cam lol.
Indeed.
Joanne’s employees and others tend to be rude and clueless!! Loki!!!
I wish I could like this 1000 times! I’ve been searching all over the internet on how to get cushions that don’t look like a cheap box wrapped in fabric. I didn’t know the lingo to use but that crown is exactly what I’m trying to accomplish
Your tutorials have been very informative and helpful. I love how patient and descriptively you explain yourself. Very good teacher.
Extremely helpful! I am not a seamstress but tackling cushions for a casual wicker chair in den & seeing this was worth a bunch!!!
I saw this to on Joann's site and thought wow that's cheap and it looks really good now you're confirming it thanks!
I have always wrapped my batting around foam. What a great simulation showing both with it and without it. That sure gets the point across.
Thank you for sharing! Since this is my first cube ottoman overhaul, I thought all I needed was some muslin and foam. Your demonstration saved the day! The cushion definitely has a professional finish and visually appealing.
So kind of you to share! Thank you so much. I wish you lived closer so you could create my new cushion covers for me - your workmanship is beautiful!
Scott, thank you so much for so useful tips! Your cushions are PERFECT with beautiful pattern matching details on the sides, so professionally done! I bought L shape bench without cushions for my kitchen and going to make cushions myself, so watched so many videos to learn the best way to do my project. I know, cushion with a zipper will be time-consuming for me and stressful. So, I end up with the idea to cut plywood on the bottom and upholstered it. About foam, you are so right! We bought chairs and cushions almost flat after 3 years of use! Thank you again for the useful tips!
You answered multiple questions I had to include the quality of materials used in Sofas, chairs, etc. today vs years past. Thank You so much!!
Oh my gosh one of the best pieces of advice I’ve heard in I don’t know how long. Didn’t know how to describe the look (crown) I wanted - but this is it, along with the solution - thank you!!
Thank you for the education on this process. I have a chaise lounge that is not a zipper cushioned seat and this helps me as I shop around to find the right person for the job. Thank you!
You answered every question I had that I couldn't find anywhere else! Now I can start! Thank you!
You are an excellent teacher! I'm new to this and it's wonderful to be able to get advice from an expert, not an amateur posing as an expert. Keep making videos :).
Thank you, I would have covered the foam with cotton batting and it isn't cheap these days.. Now to find better grade foam. So nice of you to share your expertise. I appreciate all your suggestions and tips.
I have always wrapped my cushions. Always wondered why so many DIY channels had those flat, boxy cushions - never looked right! Thanks
Thank you very much for this great tip on using Dacron to use on the cushions! I certainly appreciate learning about what and how to do this properly. Also I don’t know much about fabrics and types of foam to use on a project such as this. I can see where adding the Dacron might make it more comfortable to sit on as well as the appearance of the cushions. 👍👍👍
I knew I was going to enjoy your extremely informative video because I had a nephew named Scott Weaver and he was amazing!!! Thank you so much for your instruction!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share!!! It was so helpful!!!
Thanks so much for this vid. I covered 2 pillows after watching it. They came out looking great.
Excellent video, easy to follow. I appreciate that you said that spray adhesive is not needed.
Appreciate the video. I’ve wanted to spruce up my sofa cushions and I believe this is the way to go!
Boy, am I glad I stumbled upon this video. I have a chair that I am planning to replace the seat cushion. I am not experienced with anything like this, and I had no idea to do this.
If you want to make the process of stuffing Dacron-covered foam easier than you ever thought possible, go to a home improvement store and buy 3M masking film. This is a very thin plastic that painters use to protect windows and such when spray painting. Wrap the foam/Dacron with the film and secure it with masking tape. The film keeps upholstery material from grabbing the Dacron, so it easily slides into place. Then reach into the cover and pull the film out. If you’ve ever wrestled with this process, you will be amazed how much easier this method is.
Can you use cling film instead ?
@@markveganism50033M’s masking film naturally clings due to static electricity but is plenty slippery enough to slide away from upholstery materials. If any other film actually clings (some of it is pretty sticky) then I would use it. A 48-inch roll (180 feet long) of 3M’s is only $17 on Amazon, and has many uses.
You mean physically remove the film after you stuff it in? I'm gonna give it a go...thank you
I listened and so glad I did. Thank you for the great idea! I like the soft rounded corners. How ingenious.
I saw another video using the poly bonded dacron for the foam and picked up some when we went to purchase the cambric for 2 chair seats we were recovering. I ended up taking the first completed chair cover apart to add the dacron! Very good presentation.
So glad I found your channel!! The chair I’m currently working on, will now turn out so much better. 😃
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
I sew as well but I appreciate the way you do this I do mine just the same way. I can sense your great talent and experience. My costumers are always impressed by my work. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. May God continue to bless you and your channel.
Thank you for sharing that great tip. I had been wondering how they made the corners of the cushion look more tailored. If I had run into you at the store and you were willing to share how to do this I would have been very happy that you shared your expertise on how to properly redo my patio cushions. That woman missed out on you're great information. Again thank you for sharing great video. ❤️❤️👍👍😊😊
Thanks for these tips!! The part about keeping the foam to the size of the cushion if you use batting saved me some headaches. My first time making cushions turned out great thanks to your video!!
Thank you. I didn’t know why one might do the Dacron wrap, much less how.
Great video - I do sew but have always been nervous about making cushions that look "home made!! Using the dacron will make a big difference!! Can't wait to try it out!! Thanks!!
I’m making cushions for an entire back yard set , I hope I can do this , exelent video . Thanks
Absolutely agree on everything you shared! Thank you so much for the video!!
Thank you! I was recommended to use this and didn't know what it was! I will try this and sew the dacron on my foam.
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing us the tricks.
thank you...just the advice I was looking for as Im about to recover squab
Great video! Final piece of the puzzle for cushions, which turned out great! Thanks so much!
I always cover my foam with the Dacron. It softens the edges. It does make a difference. That lady lost out!
Timing is everything! I randomly came across this video as I was contemplating sewing a meditation-cushion (TV cushion too)!! Glad I did!!
Absolutely love your videos!!! So informative !!!
14:00 the best part everything ME. -- Edit by, director by , producer by, photography by, written by ME ME. Inspiration to get busy and wait for no one for help. Great job and love the video.
I agree...
I love your expertise and generosity in sharing your knowledge i also like that you don’t over egg the pudding you keep it simple direct and easy to follow. Also I love your humility. Ten stars from me out of five
Thank you so much Linda!
I didn’t have a stapler so I used a needle with thread and did a long whip stitch and then sewed a permanent muslin cover as he stated, it made them so much easier to slid into the case without bunching up the Dacron when I took them off a few times a year to launder.
Wow! I loved this. I have made many cousins and didn’t know this tip. Thank you so much fo doing this video.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video... I love the fact we can use staples instead of SPRAYING Glue... which can hurt your lungs...
Thank you so much for all your help."
I "Flip" RVs and am recovering a "Click-Clack" Couch!!! for a 1982 Class A RV...
This video will help so much... I can't handle spray glue.
I always wondered how to get that professional look! Awesome video! This technique will come in handy!!!
I'll be more than likely making some campervan cushions in the future and this is fantastic advice, I see that flat unprofessional look everywhere campervan related 👍
Just what I needed to know...thanks Scott!
The staples are genius! I've been using an adhesive!
Very clear, great narration, thank you!
Applause! Standing ovation!
Thank you so very very much for this great tutorial! I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge and I will defiantly do this.
Great video. I have this task at hand to tackle, thanks for the tips...
- Thanx a multimillion for the tip. Looks great.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!!
Excellent 5 star tutorial, thank you
I have cats and they’ve peed on my cushions a couple tomes so I ordered new cushion foams and now ordering Dacron since I wasn’t aware I would need that. Going to also wrap the cushion foams with a waterproof cover then my actual couch covers will go over that so the peed won’t go through them again…your videos have been so helpful, very informative :) thanks so much!
Thank you, this was exactly the piece of information I was looking for!
I was always taught that dacron/tetron is not just to give a full look and feel but more importantly that it is a protective layer to stop the back side of some fabrics from being abraded against the foam. For example Draylon and other heavy piled fabrics while very hard wearing on the face side can easily be damaged from the backside due to movement (abrasion) against the foam causing the pile to fall out .
Great tip as usual!
Another great tutorial!! THANK YOU!
Thanks, appreciate that informative presentation.
I loved this video and the information was very informative . Thank you for putting this out there.
This video is awesome. Thank you ! Upholstery work is so cool. I hope to make custom cushions for when I get a house :)
THX SCOTT enjoyed this video so much....very informative, you saved me a lot of sewing by hand applying the dacron wrap now I'll use a stapler Bless you
Thank you for your advice re spray glues. I am contemplating doing some work on an Aus very well made hardwood frame couch from 1992, intended to last centuries. It was built to be soft vlumptuoys and came with off white thick looses cover, not upholstered beyond the initial base cover. Has spring base and big cushions, with feathers and something else. The collapse and have to fluffed up daily. But my worry was fear of degassing stuff and terrible blues if some one did this.because I am asthmatic. You are a champ doing this thank you.
Excellent tutorial! I’ve learned so much on just a few minutes. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for the very useful info!! I can't wait to try it!
This was fascinating. Thank you
I would have enjoyed (& heeded) your advice had that been me at JF! Great video! Thank you!
I've never seen this done, as I've always stapled the outer material to the frame. The cushion looks great. Thanks!
I'll be dammed! I sew for almost 50 years, clothes, drapery, cornices, cushions and I never used staples on dacron! I wrap my cushions but as I put the cover on them, I make sure the dacron ( or similar), lays perfectly against all sides. It takes little extra care but these staples might be something I have to try! Thank you so much!!!!!
P.S. Even when I re-covered peoples old cushions, I never saw staples in.
Silk wrap is awesome too
Great demo!
You're lucky you didn't run into ME in JoAnne's, I would have talked your ear off!! This tutorial came just at the right time as I just bought new fabric for the couch cushions that I made a few years ago. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

I’m glad I could help and good luck!
@@Factorydirectdesignersworkroom By the looks of it, you're helping plenty. Thank you so much for that stapling tip. I hated the thought of having to use glue.
i always thought dacron was used to minimize friction between the fabric and the foam. Thanks for the fresh new info.
You're welcome!
So educational
