Turning Pockets & Preparing Edge for Seat Cover

Hi, this is Vicki Walker from Expert Village. For the purpose of our demonstration on our butterfly seat cover on the pockets to the front section on all 4 corners, I'm turning the pockets that would sit over the butterfly chair wings. Now I would be pressing around the pocket. I would go all the way around the outside edge of the chair pressing under 5/8 inch all the way around. So we can finish this edge and not leave any raw edges exposed. I would continue around the edge here, flip this pocket and press the edges here as well. We would be sewing a top stitch all the way around which would give a finished look to the edges all the way around the outside edge. I would be continuing this all the way around the edge before we go back to the sewing machine to sew the edges down. That is how we prepare the edges of the seat cover for the final seam that would go around the edge.
