| When creating deep tufting in upholstery, the fabric is joined on the piece, and not sewn together prior to tufing the project. To do this place the next fabric piece over the area to be covered and match the pattern/grain line. Tuck the fabric into the hole as if you are adding a button and tufting and mark. (Note: On this sample the fabric was turned in the opposite direction for photography purposes, the grain line should match). |
 |
| Draw lines to connect the marks. |
 |
| Cut fabric allowing at least 1/2" past the lines drawn and clip at the "V". |
Tuck under the allowance and pull as usual, making sure to catch the edge of the fabric with the needle when adding the buttons. Continue tufting the piece using tension to match the rest of the piece.
