Can anyone say roughly how much material you need for the full job.

 

[Chalkyjim]

How much material do you need for this?

Nice work there.One rule of thumb that i can pass on is always where possible bring the 'Shape to the straight'.
Imagine you are sewing up a round bar stool top.You keep the straight border underneath the circle of fabric as you sew....simples.

 

[the machinist]

Dont forget to keep the border under the top panel when you stitch.Its easier.
Also a good idea to put strike marks along the edges as you can see if the next corner is going to fall into place and if sewing a curve too.
I saw on an earlier post that people cant find white piping.PM me for lengths req'd.
Cheers

Thinking of getting a rock and roll frame and boarding/upholstering it ourselves. Can someone explain how these boards attach to frames once it's upholstered?

 

[gaetan]

Can anyone explain how the upholstered boards are attached to the frame of a typical rock and roll frame? Thinking of getting a full width autobeds frame but boarding and upholstering it ourselves.

ONly just seen this. Might be a stupid question but how do you secure the boards/seat to the frame?

In my camper i've got the boards secured to the frame but all the cushions are loose (it was bought like that)..

The boards on our bed frame came with the frame itself. They were screwed on through pre drilled holes.
