We have love seat with a slip cover on and cannot seem to keep it in place! Any advice?

If it is coming out between the back and the seat, place a length of PVC pipe down under the cushions to anchor it. You can also tack it to the frame of the loveseat with upholstery tacks.

Slipcover Grips

go to the nearest home decorating or home accent/accessory store (Linens n Things, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc.) and look for plastic 'toilet paper-like' tubes made just for that purpose. Smaller diameter PVC pipe will do a similar job, but is a little heavier and not quite as neat-looking. Also look for garter-like elastic grippers and spiral shaped 'twist pins' for use as needed.

Put on the cover, then push a dowel down behind the cushions. Helps to keep it in place.
You can also use upholstery screws, which are coiled pins with a plastic top, for the material on the arms.

Safety pins, maybe? Or my mom used to have these pins that were spiral shaped and kept arm covers in place. Those might work! Good luck!

Usually people tuck a pole or a broom stick between the back part of the couch and the cushion back. (In other words the is on top of the slipcover where it touches the spring section of the couch) I hope that makes sense...

There is a product that looks like a thumb tack but the pin part is curly-qued.... you screw them through the cover and into the couch..no more slipage!

Hay, my Grandmother used to pin the cover on her couch. If that dues not work, get read of the "slip"cover and purchase a plain old cover that dues not "slip"....

I saw a great tip on this. Take a rod of some type and as your tucking in the back crease,tuck the rod in with it. It holds the cover in place and you'll never know it's there.(between the seat cushions and the back cushions)

try that pole option the others mentioned and in addition buy a roll of the shelf liner that men use to line their tool boxes to keep the tools from sliding. It is a bumpy rubber like a rug grip, but it is cheaper.
