Fabric Throw Pillow
Making piping/cording for toss pillows?
I’m making some throw pillows and I wanted to use up some extra home decor fabric that is 54″ wide (on the bolt) and 3″ long — so I figured it was just about enough to cover the cording for one or two pillows. However, everything I am reading says that I have to cut the cording fabric on the bias. Obviously, with only three inches to work with — I don’t have enough to cut it on the bias (or I would end up with a gazillion seams in the cording, which is not cool).
WHY do I have to cut the fabric for my cording on the bias? What would happen if I didn’t? (I don’t want to buy more fabric for the cording (trying to be frugal). I asked a woman working at my local fabric store and she said something about needing stretch and also so that it did not shrink and pucker when I washed my pillow coverings. However, I have already washed all of this fabric, so why would it shrink? And why do I need stretch when I cover the cording?
Unless your pillow fabric is one that would be ruined by taking out a seam later on, I think it is worth a try. Bias fabric does handle the corners better, without twisting or doing anything strange. It also lasts longer without scuffing. But if you do it with the knowledge that you may have to take it apart someday to re-do the piping, you may end up very happy with it.
