Which Cushion Cover Fastener To Use?
12 Answers
I am looking for suggestions for the best fasteners to use on a cushion cover?
The fabric is quite loose knit and stretchy, there isn't much of an overlap and the opening is at one side of the square cushion as opposed to it being an envelope type cover.
I hope this makes sense!
I was thinking of using poppers and wondered if fewer large ones would be better than more small ones? Or Velcro, but my experience of using it is that it is quite stiff which wouldn’t be nice on a cushion. A zip probably makes most sense but I have never put in a zip before so am a bit daunted at even trying it.
What other options could I consider? I want the cushion to be quite full so which would work and look best?
Thanks.

Could you sew some narrow lightweight binding on the opening side of the cushion? This would make putting in a zip much easier, or...if you use poppers would prevent too much looping/sagging of the fabric between the poppers.
Using poppers I'd do more small ones rather than large......some matching or complimentary buttons over the top of the poppers could look quite professional......x
