Make my slipcover fit my club chair better?

Not a fan of fabric glue for strength like a chair where the material gets stretched tight. Try turning the cover inside out. Pull the material towards the seam on either side evenly and pin where it is snug. You could also make a seam in the middle of the back. If you don't have a sewing machine, you can hand stitch. Just take your time and make small even stitches. When you turn the cover back over it should fit perfectly.

For the best hold, I would sew it. Pull the fabric tight where you want it, pin it, and then sew a seam. I'm no seamstress either, but it should be a simple seam.

Hello Brenda,

Put the cover on the chair (Inside out) . Take some pins or safety Pins and pin the excess so the cover fits smug. If you can do a running stitch or better still a back stitch., Follow the line of the pins. Fasten off. You can take them out now. Turn the cover back into the right way. and there you have it. No need to remove access unless you want to.

Could you pin it or use safety pins in areas where they won’t show?

Slip cover pins. They are cheap and work very well (I have used these myself).

Hello. I’ve had the same problems and my solution was using a pool noodle.

If you can stuff a cut sized appropriate pool noodle in the crack of the furniture with the slip cover at tends to hold it down more securely.If the pool noodle is too fat try slicing and a half with a retractable’s safety razor.

We used dowels cut to the size of the chair to hold the slip covers in place with the slip cover pins.

Hi Brenda: You can hand stitch, it's easy, just do it in a corner. Turn the slip cover over and make a fold at one of the edges, enough to make the cover a bit snug, but not too much so you can put it back on the chair. Then use a running stitch (in and out, in and out, in and out, like a dotted line, from bottom to top), each stitch about 1/4 inch long, along the edge. Before you do anything, can you wash them? If so, maybe they will shrink to fit better :) Good luck

I purchased decorative upholstery tacks to secure material on a stool. I got the idea from armchairs that my mother had professionally upholstered. They works great, look good, and are easy to use by simply pushing into place.

here are some ideas I found for you they also make a fabric pin or tack to use
