It took me a piddling lawsuit as well as mistake to actually figure out how to brand a groovy corner. Since a botched corner tin give notice totally brand or intermission your DIY upholstery job, it's a handy science to have.

Here's how I practise my corners. I convey no sentiment if this is the right way, but it industrial plant as well as it's easy.

The kickoff affair I practise 1 time I convey my cloth cutting to size as well as positioned on the chair correctly is to staple the cloth some the top of the leg as well as trim back the cloth underneath the staple afterwards.

Next, I cutting off the corner, leaving close 1-2 inches.

Then, force the cloth inward as well as create a pocket.

Once the cloth is tucked all the means within as well as you lot convey what looks similar a seam, hotglue it closed.

(Obviously, if you lot sew, you lot would run upwards this cover. But every bit nosotros all know, I dear glue.)

Then, hotglue your trim back or pipage some the leg. This covers upwards the staples as well as whatsoever other piddling imperfections. I used 2 strips of trim. 'Cause I'm crazy similar that.

And in that place ya convey it....
