Finally got the hang of that tricky seam on a spiral staircase in a Tacoma remodel last month

After three tries and a lot of wasted cushion, I realized the key was cutting the backing at a 45-degree angle before the turn, which made the whole thing lay flat without a single bubble... what's your go-to method for those awkward curved seams?

Try a relief cut on the back of the cushion itself right before the curve, it gives the material a little extra room to stretch.

Wouldn't that just weaken the seam, @lisa671? I've always had better luck easing the fabric in with a few extra pins first.
