toxo Report post Posted June 7, 2020 Two questions. First, I'm making a seat for my Quad and I want to quilt the top panel (Bear in mind I'm a relative newbie)and add piping. Do I stop the foam before the seam allowance or extend it to cover everything? Is it usual to foam (non quilting) the sides as well in which case the same applies as in where to stop the foam? Next, Is it usual to use the same size piping/welting foot for the whole process bearing in mind you're adding at least two more layers as well as the piping?

toxo Report post Posted June 7, 2020 OK! Not the only answer I'm sure but after some trials this is where I am. In this first picture we see two layers of vinyl with 6mm of foam in between. In this next picture we can see how it's bunched up. It was so bunched up that I was forced to sew the final stitch from the bottom instead of the top. This next picture doesn't look too bad but the last picture shows how much the edge is force over so the pipng can't sit on the corner like it's supposed to. Conclusion: the foam and the bottom underpanel, must be cut back to the edge of the piping. I'll post some pics when I do it for real to see if I've learned anything.

toxo Report post Posted June 9, 2020 Nowhere near perfect but considering it didn't have any seat at all it should be happy. And I learned loads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
