You run upholstery thread or cord through the button finding, use a huge 9" needle to go through the Tuffet center hole and foam/ batting, then tie it through to the holes drilled in the wood base. This is the next to last step after stapling on the Tuffet cover you just made on the bottom. Finally you cover all the NOT so pretty bottom with a circle of fabric, felt, wool or whatever. Screw in the 4 feet and you can sit on it and eat curds and whey.:>). <br /><br />By the way, they are beautiful done in just 4 quarters of color instead of all the strips.I saw one done in velvets and silk, then embroidered like a crazy quilt. There was an ombré colored one, and another one done in half inch strips of Seminole Patchwork made into the 2 inch strips. It was sort of like a bargello look on the Tuffet. The cutest one was all shades of pink calicoes and such, with the off white feet tole painted with many colors and words from Little Miss Muffett written the the larger curved areas of her feet. I asked her if it was for her Grand daughter and she said, " No, I always loved that nursery rhyme and I plan to sit on my Tuffet and eat my cottage cheese in the morning in the sun room. I just hope the spider doesn't demand to share my seat." She said she was 71 years old!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043232402231354410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554081134064446883.post-36781161148258023782016-11-07T00:19:46.330-08:002016-11-07T00:19:46.330-08:00Go to http://tuffetsource.com It shows everything ...Go to http://tuffetsource.com It shows everything there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043232402231354410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554081134064446883.post-88512456107109814772016-11-07T00:18:17.617-08:002016-11-07T00:18:17.617-08:00Our class was $110 including instruction,tuffet ba...Our class was $110 including instruction,tuffet base/kit, the purchased pattern PLUS the interfaced sewing pattern was ironed on to muslin. The Quilt Shop's spouse did the wood work and the rest was ordered individually through various sources to keep it inexpensive for us. I think $55 was our cost for supplies, not including fabric. That is half price from the kit at the Tuffet Source. Frankly, I don't know how she did it for that price even wholesale. It is a very small rural shop, so it's not like she was buying in volume.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043232402231354410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554081134064446883.post-77742068873955806692016-11-07T00:09:05.889-08:002016-11-07T00:09:05.889-08:00You can see the entire process at the Tuffet Sourc...You can see the entire process at the Tuffet Source website. It works best to have a partner to help with the assembly to keep everything even. http://www.tuffetsource.com. The curving actually forms the shape of the tuffet so you slip it over the foundation and staple it on the bottom, then cover the center hole with the 3 inch button.<br />If you have trouble sewing, make SMALL clip or two at curve and remember to press seams after every strip sewn.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043232402231354410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554081134064446883.post-25623693545132513392016-09-21T08:01:55.595-07:002016-09-21T08:01:55.595-07:00How did you manage to fasten the button on?How did you manage to fasten the button on?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098967416864765111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554081134064446883.post-48071241700540315952016-09-21T08:01:38.452-07:002016-09-21T08:01:38.452-07:00How did you manage to fasten the button on?How did you manage to fasten the button on?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098967416864765111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554081134064446883.post-794655577376333142016-09-12T16:11:15.815-07:002016-09-12T16:11:15.815-07:00how about some help with the finishing?

Tuffets have just arrived in the UK, and like Madalyn above I would love to do a workshop but so far they are only being offered in two shops and both are a long way from me. I've googled the kits and am ready to buy one but just wanted to be sure of what was involved before I took the plunge. Your post has really helped with that.

I used 2 inch strips and it seems to me that is is better than the jelly rolls because the outside edge of the strip lines up with previous seam lines. I think I will cut my 2.5 jelly roll strips down before I begin.
