To do this, fold one side of the fabric over so that it is overlapping the other side by about half an inch. Sew the two sides together with a straight stitch, making sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of the seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2abdfcfc-dc6c-4827-a29e-bf00b287a950\">Now it is time to sew the top and bottom of the slipcover together.

Start by slipping the slipcover over the recliner, the wrong side out. Then, pin or clip the fabric in place around the edges of the recliner. Sew the slipcover onto the recliner with a straight stitch, making sure to backstitch at the beginning and end of the seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2abdfcfc-dc6c-4827-a29e-bf00b287a950\">If you want to add some extra protection to your slipcover, you can add a layer of quilt batting between the<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/sitbacklounge.com\/best-fabric-reclining-loveseats\/\" title=\"Best Fabric Reclining Loveseats (3 Reviews &amp; Buying Guide)\">fabric and the recliner<\/a><\/strong>. This will help to cushion the recliner and protect it from wear and tear. Simply cut the quilt batting to size and slip it under the fabric before you sew the slipcover in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2abdfcfc-dc6c-4827-a29e-bf00b287a950\">Another option is to add ties or straps to secure the slipcover to the recliner. This is a good idea if you have pets or children who may try to pull the slipcover off of the recliner. You can either sew ties onto the slipcover or use Velcro strips to attach straps. Simply position the straps where you want them and then sew or adhere them in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2abdfcfc-dc6c-4827-a29e-bf00b287a950\"><strong>In Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"2abdfcfc-dc6c-4827-a29e-bf00b287a950\">Now you are finished!
