Sewing Piping Cover Fabric in Curved Lines

So like I showed you in the previous clip now I am going to show you how to lay the other side of the material down on edge with the piping I made on it so what we're going to do I'm just going to lay the fabric down on top and I'm going to put a couple of pins just to keep the fabric where I want it. I am not going to worry about keeping it completely straight because this is just for you to know how to install it on a curve, we're not really making anything out of it. We're just installing it to see how it looks. Same thing. We're going to lay it on top of the same stitch that we made earlier on the bottom fabric. We're just going to go right along the seam that made the piping but this time I'm going to try to move in a little bit and what that means is I am going to hold the fabric real stiff and I'm going to pull the fabric away from the piping cord. You can see the fabric here between my fingernails and I am going to hold it real stiff and pull it to the side and because it has the groove underneath this foot, the foot is not going to slide off it is going to stay right where I want it. This is the kind of foot that you can get closer each time you go around so if you didn't get close enough and you can see the stitches from the previous fabric when you sewed it on to the bottom side then you can just get closer. What we are going to do now is I'm going to show you how to cut this off and make the little clips all around it to make it nice and even and I will show you how to do that in the next clip.
