I'm working on a project and just an hour ago i was thinking exactly that I needed to learn how to tuft. And here i found you, 1st video RU-vid shows me! Synchronicity is amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!
Yes, the needle is pushed through the cushion to come out from the other side, this is a two sides tufting styles, so there's a button on each side of the cushion ;)
Oh, this is perfect! I recently found a couch I'm in love with except the back of it isn't tufted, making it look a bit lumpy and plain. I tried to find websites that allow for customizing couches, but none of them allow for adding a very specific feature the one I love has (wood trim and metal accents at the bottom. It's the Ethan line of couches from Castlery). As there's more that I love about the couch than what I don't like, I think I'll still get it and just DIY the tufts with this guide. Thank you so much!
I found another video explaining this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bXBObylr6LM.html -- In short, tie a square not after you've tightened the slip knot into place. The above video skips this step.
My couch pillow is very similar to this one, I'm constantly fluffing the pillows I hoped that adding buttons will help it maintain its shape better, what size buttons did you use? Great video
@@ComfortWorks I absolutely LOVE IT. My cushions would lose shape all the time, I had to whip it in shape everyday, now the stuffing stays in place and it looks GOOD. Thank you for the brilliant idea 💯❤
Hi and many thanks for such useful tips. Question: I have seen the same knot but with the thread turning round once more before inserting it into the loop. Is it worthwhile?
Hi Jay, you do need a needle that's long enough to run the thread through, if your needle is still short, you can try to flatten the cushion as much as you can to reduce its width while you run the needle through.
@@ComfortWorks oh my gosh thank you so much! My mom wants me to make her a pillow for her chair and she wanted it to look like that but I didn't have enough buttons
Hi Mae! Unfortunately, we are unable to make covers for couches with attached cushions because of the way they are built. We would suggest working with a local upholsterer to get some covers made for your couch. All the very best!
Hi Suzie, As seen in the video, all you need to do is to thread the twine into the button(0:38), once you insert the thread into the needle and run it through the cushion, the side shown at 0:50 is done, you can simply move to the other side and finish by inserting the second button and pulling the thread which will also tighten the button on the other side. hope this helps :)
Hi Larry, here's a step-by-step tutorial we found on how to tie a slip knot for upholstery: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z-qqT_w3KBY.html Hope this helps!
