Single Welting

Single welting is used as a border either on a seat cushion or cushions. And used on the sides and backs of sofas and chairs.

Another use for single piping is to add a bit of visual excitement to furniture. The piping can add contrast when it’s different from the main piece.

Double Welting

Double welting is like a single piping but with two cords stitched together to make one trim.

Its used to hide staples in upholstery projects.
