What should I do before I try gripper shelf liner or a silicone trivet?
- Dining Chair Pads - First place the cushion centered on the chair seat. If the cushion does not cover the entire sitting area, do not push the cushion all the way to the back of the seat. Tie the pad securely to the chair back, rungs, or legs, finishing with a bow. Lift the seat cushion and place a gripper sheet under the cushion.
- Rocking Chair Cushions - For shipping purposes, the seat and back cushions will be tied to each other when they arrive; first, untie the cushions from each other. Then place the seat cushion in the center of the rocker seat and tie it to the back of the posts or rungs with a bow. If you have purchased the headrest pillow rocker back extender, thread the top ties of the rocker back cushion through the loops of the extender twice, then tie the top ties of the rocker back cushion to the posts. Tie the lower back ties to the rocker post. Lift the seat cushion and place a sheet of gripper shelf liner, carpet gripper pad, or silicone trivet under the cushion.
- Bar Stool Cushions - For shipping purposes, when the barstool cover arrives the drawstring will be pulled tight and tied. Untie the drawstring and loosen the yoke. Place a circle of gripper shelf liner or a silicone trivet on the seat, then place the barstool cushion on top of the gripper. Pull the yoke down over the seat of the stool and tighten the drawstring under the seat until the yoke is wrapped around and under the seat and almost fully tightened. Push the yoke around to evenly distribute the gathers around the seat. Pull the drawstring fully tight and keep it pinched closed while tying a knot or a bow (it helps to have a friend, but one person can manage it on their own).
