Members Edsbear Posted yesterday at 12:32 AM Members Report Posted yesterday at 12:32 AM (edited) I am having a problem when attaching piping when it turns corners, its basically leaving a crease on the piping on the inside of a 90 deg corner. I wondered if anyone else had this problem and have any tips to stop this happening please Edited yesterday at 12:43 AM by Edsbear Add on Quote
Members DieselTech Posted 23 hours ago Members Report Posted 23 hours ago Cut little V-notches on the back side of the piping at the corner radius. Quote

Are you using a properly matched piping foot set? If it's thin leather, try rubbing Carnauba Creme on the area that's going to make the sharp turn before it gets to the feet. Or, apply it to the entire length in advance. Carnauba Creme softens and preserves leather and can be polished with a piece of wool fur. The added flexibility may help get rid of the corner wrinkles. If the wrinkles persist, try skiving it down a little thinner. If it's cloth or vinyl, check on upholstery forums, like https://www.theupholsteryforum.com/.
