We created a video tutorial where you can see how to finish a needlepoint cushion. In this video we used our "Pomegranates & Flowers Needlepoint Cushion Kit".
Note: for the aplication of the zipper in the backing fabric we asked a seamstress, that's why you don't see us doing it in the video, but you can easily do it by yourself, or not add a zipper at all, if you dont intend on ever havint to remove the cushion cover.
In this particular tutorial we decided not to add a piping edge, but you can easily do it, to add an extra detail to your beautiful needlepoint cushion.
Creating your own piping is really easy, and you can make it out of any fabric you have laying around, to add a fun pop of color to your projects.
You simply have to cut strips of your fabric, place the cording inside, fold the fabric and sew along the line of the cord.
Piping can be easily added to the edge of your needlepoint cushion, but you will need to use a zipper or piping foot for your sewing machine.
Here is a photo in detail, so you can see how it looks.
