Overview

The Knife Edge T-Style is a common cushion style for the backs of chairs and sofas.

Learning to measure the furniture and create a properly fitting cushion will make your piece look more professional.

In this video, we take all our measurements from the chair. I’ll teach what additions you need to add to the measurements of your chair as well as why. We will be making a zipper boxing and panels that help to give our cushion the desired depth. The top corners of our cushion are a pleated Turkish Corner.
