I am pinning my boxing strip to the top and bottom of the seat cushion. I’ve measured precisely, but it always seems that the boxing strip is a little longer and I end up having to take tiny tucks together it. What am I doing wrong?

Hey there. I totally feel your pain. All of my early box cushions and panels did this too! I learned it’s because the fabric layers move under the sewing machine at a different rate, causing it to slip and move as you sew. This is most cumbersome with domestic...
I have four arm chairs with springs in the seats. Odd thing is the original has “no-sag” springs without clips under coil springs, no webbing. They are tied together. Have you ever seen this done? should I put webbing under it all?

That is strange! I have never opened a piece of furniture and seen anything like that before, but I did find this video to see what it looks like… Is this what yours looks like? I’d love to see pics so I can better assist you. If you are a member of the...

Translated by Google:”Hello, I am redoing an English style seat and there were 9 springs on the backrest. The straps were not attached. Is this normal? And I can’t find a tutu (tutorial?) to redo the folder with mery springs” Please forgive me if the...
I am working on reupholstering a Lazy Boy recliner – an older style with wooden arms.  I am confused as to how to attach the back covering.  I understand the top attachment and the use of metal tack strips on the upper part of the back.  On the lower part there are side pieces that I need to attach somehow .  They are partially attached to the cushion frame and then they velcro  to the chair frame.  In the pictures I’ve attached them as I thought they would go but when I put it on the chair frame & velcro the top part of the piece just hangs out loose.  You’d have to push it in after every recline.  I cant get it to work. Also for reference sake is there a name for these added pieces?   Thank You!.

Heya! It’s hard to tell from the image, but based on your description, it sounds like your back panel isn’t long enough, because when it reclines, it stretches out, and the velcro becomes unstuck. Try adjusting the length and cut a longer piece. Determine...
