A single topstitching seam, this seam is a strong seam as well as a decorative one.
The fabric edges are folded and joined together by a zig zag stitch or chain stitch. This is used when joining seams where you do not want any bulk. For example when sewing lingerie. You can make this kind of seam with the help of a sewing machine
Seam placement – A curved seam will be differently treated from a straight seam. If it is an exposed seam as in pants, it will be different from an enclosed seam as in a yoke or a collar.
Kai Scissors: These are often referred to as “the best pair of scissors” and have been our shop favorite for years. They are ergonomically designed and feature durable stainless steel blades. They are strong, available in 10 sizes from 4 inches to 10 inches and are available for both right- and left-handed people.
Once you have determined the “look” of the finished seams for your next project, here are some options to consider that add decorative details and increase the seam’s durability. [links]
Pinking Shears: These are a valuable addition to your scissor collection, even though you may not use them very often. Their zigzag edge is a quick solution that helps prevent fraying. more
Serger: You can get by without the benefit of a serger, but once you try sewing seams with a serger, you will love the way it finishes raw edges and prevents fraying. When a durable seam is required, you will still need to sew your seams with a straight stitch first on your sewing machine. We just completed a project where the customer wanted us to replicate the visible exterior seams with a serge stitch in a contrasting color (as seen on very expensive Italian furniture). It is becoming a popular “deconstructed” look. here
Hot Knife: This is a great tool for sealing fabric edges, as it prevents unraveling. It is important to know what you should and should not cut with a hot knife because the fumes of some materials may be toxic or the material itself can ignite. A hot knife is great for cutting a clean finished edge on Sunbrella® and acrylic fabrics. Experiment with various surfaces to use underneath your material, as the blade gets extremely hot.
Tip: Glass or Teflon™ baking mats come in large sizes for using underneath your material while cutting and are a good option to use with a hot knife. more

A rocking chair or rocker is a chair with two curved bands of wood (also known as rockers) attached to the bottom of the legs (one on the left two legs and one on the right two legs). This gives the chair contact with the floor at only two points granting the occupant the ability to rock back and forth by shifting his/her weight or pushing lightly with his/her feet. Many find rocking chairs soothing because of the gentle rocking. Rocking chairs are also comfortable because when one sits in one without rocking the chair automatically rocks backwards until the sitter's center of gravity is met thus granting the ergonomic benefit that the occupant is kept at a very unstressed position and angle.
Cushion ties are used to tie or affix a cushion to the individual piece of furniture the cushion is being used on or made for. For a chair bottom cushion the ties are placed in the back corners of the cushion and are tied to the chair uprights. On a chair back cushion the ties are located at the top corners of the cushion and are tied to the top of the chair uprights. One other style cushions the ties are located in a position to allow them to hold the cushion in place on the furniture. A Chaise cushion for example typically has the ties located at the location where the top and bottom section of the chaise cushion are joined together to hold the mid-section of the cushion to the chaise lounge chair. There are also ties places at the top of the chaise cushion to hold the top section of the chaise cushion in place on the chaise lounge chair. Steamer deck chairs usually have similar placement as chaise lounge chairs. Bench cushions ties are usually strategically place the same as seat cushions, on the back rear corners for affixing to the bench upright sections.
Wicker cushions, also known as Rattan furniture cushions. Wicker cushions offer both highly individualized decorating appeal and comfort. Wicker and rattan cushions typically come in both flat or firm style cushions or the classic over-stuffed or tufted style cushions. The classic overstuffed wicker cushions are usually either button tufted to keep the filler material in place as the cushions ages, as well as add style and elegance. more
The construction of these cushions has a vertical sidewall that is the same height as the thickness of the cushion. These cushions are made by assembling the top and bottom section of the cut fabric to the sidewall fabric to form a box. This style of cushion is also commonly referred to as "welting". A five inch thick cushion would have a five inch thick sidewall sewn together with the top and bottom sections of the cushion fabric. [links]
Double-welted cushions are used for cushions with boxed or welted style edges. Like the single corded cushions, where a thin strip of fabric if sewn around a heavy gage string or cord and sewn into the seam of the cushions. With double welting, or "boxed double welting" as it is also commonly referred to, the welting is send into both the top and bottom seams of the sidewall fabric panel of the cushions along with the top and bottom fabric panels. The thickness of the cushions typically dictates how far apart the welting on the sidewalls will be. here
Outdoor furniture is typically made of weather resistant materials. The oldest surviving examples of garden furniture were found in the gardens of Pompeii. A wide range of garden furniture is now manufactured and used worldwide. The materials used to manufacture modern patio furniture include stones, metals, vinyl, plastics, glass, and treated woods. Garden furniture is often sold as a patio set consisting of a table, four or six chairs and a parasol. Garden parasols are a specialist type of umbrella designed to provide shade from the sun. Parasols fit through a hole in the centre of the table and are secured in a base. Long chairs, referred to as chaise lounges, are also common items. Patio heaters that run on bottled butane or propane are often used to enable people to sit outside at night or in cold weather. [links]
