Thank you for teaching an old girl some great tips. I am self taught, and sometimes want to just give up. But, the cost to have someone else do our vehicles we restore, makes it impossible to re-coupe the cost when we sell them. I have followed some of your videos, and learn from each video. You are a great teacher, and the nicest thing is. You are helping people who are wanting to learn the art of a great upholstery project. I just gave you the very small donation, and urge all to give to you too! Blessings for being my teacher!

Richard, I saw this video a couple of times now and will be using it to guide me through a very similar project. Thank you much this seat looks amazing. ❤
Hello Leo, Thank you so much for saying so. I am sure you will do just fine with your seat project. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Richard. I'm still watching and still learning from you. This is a good video. I did my '39 Chevy seats from my own patterns because I was going from old cotton batting to foam and the new dimensions were a little different from the original. I just followed your rules and techniques and they came out really well. I have been getting lots of compliments on them. Thank you so much. Fred.

Absolute master at work! You make it look so easy! After watching your vids for a while I attempted to reupholster a desk chair. Needless to say, I need some more practice and there's a reason we go to the professionals 😂
Hello Dude, Thank you so much for saying so. Well you know, the second one always turns out to be better than the first one. The third even better than those. Just keep going and later you will have fond memories of how you helped people. Please keep liking and watching!
Hi Buddy I really appreciate your videos. I went to trade school in high school for 2 yrs. I learned a lot of techniques, and after I graduated best in class in 1982 I've learned more on my own. Like you say " its not rocket science " I use a Consew, got rid of my 211 G-165 Singer. It got worn out wasn't worth fixing. You got me motivated again to get some stuff done. I've encountered the same thing when people who buy this aftermarket seat covers. They think I can fix them, yeah right. The material is mostly junk. Keep up your hard work and keep your videos coming. In the trade, Russell
Hello Brother Russell, It sounds to me like we have had a lot of the same life experiences. I started 1980, wore out my Chandler Adler after 40 years. Got the Juki. You can see my work of 44 years at Rudolphsupholstery.com Please keep liking and watching!
That was brilliant! My first project will be the same as this and most likely a very similar color. Still have to get a machine and learn how to use it first 😆 Thanks for putting this one up, I'll probably be watching it a few more times. Cheers👌
Hello Theold, Thank you so much for saying so. I have several other videos showing the sewing and patterning. Be sure to check them out. I think you will do just fine on your first project. Please keep liking and watching!
I see some people pull the material a little when they so. To me that distorts the material , is that right? Yours come out so nice. You make it look effortless, always a joy to watch.
I'm pretty cheap... if it were my truck, I would probably have removed the skirts from the original, found the closest match vinyl and made new skirts and tails. Some pre-made kits use cheap vinyl, though. I was taught to seal the edges and do the welting at the same time to save time. I like your way better! Also, I was told to make slightly sharper angles where the skirt pieces meet, to keep it taut when installing, and cut slightly into the shoulders at the top so they fit snug. Don't listen to me, though... I'm still a rank amateur upholsterer! The pleats in my own truck seat that I did years ago don't line up😖 but nobody notices but me.
Hello Lou, Like I always say, there is more than one way of getting things done. Your way or my way, we always get through it all don't we? Just keep going, we are always learning and it just gets better. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery 40 years in the trade. Retired now I mostly did complete interiors in 1972 and older cars that were totally restored and all the old interior removed. I also did a bunch of those 70s and 80s trucks. The oldest was a 1901 I really enjoyed the older cars.
@@venvnco6259 Hello Venvnco, It sounds like we both had similar life experiences. I started in 1980. I really enjoyed working on the 1931's classics. My oldest was a 1913 Packard touring. You can see 44 years of my work at Rudolphsupholstery.com Please keep liking and watching!
Wow the seat turned out awesome, do you have a video for the best way to measure out material for boat seats, especially if a person’s using two different colors, I don’t want to use my seats as patterns because they are completely trashed and I want to do a different style, thanks Richard for your videos my friend 👍😁
Hello my friend Dave, Thank you so much for saying so! For boat seats I just lay them out, lined up on the floor, keeping within the 54" roll width. Then just take a tape measure and go down the imaginary roll. Don't forget to have enough vinyl for your sides. I usually add 1 or 2 yards extra just so I do not come up short. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Sech, Vinyl is always cheaper than leather. The only difference is a leather aroma for a year. Both last and wear the same. A $90,000 Escalade seats are combination leather/vinyl and nobody notices. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Cafe, I use T90 bonded nylon or polyester thread for everything I do. 135x17 needles for my industrial sewing machine for everything I do. It might be covered in this video ua-cam.com/video/A18C5bGgZGU/v-deo.html Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Paul, You are so welcome! On my machine I mostly use #7. For smaller projects I use a #5 or #6. Larger items I use a #8. Please keep liking and watching!
Flawless looking! Given the handcraft involved I am sure that was a bargain. It will last a lifetime. Quick question, do you change the presser foot on your machine when you create the welting?
Looks great. Question, what grade (or weight?) burlap do you use? Would heavier be better for any reason? Other than that, is all burlap equal in quality (other than thickness and weave) from most suppliers?
Hello 4speed, Thanks pal! When it comes to burlap, upholstery suppliers seem to have the same stuff everywhere I have bought it. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Dell, Most of the time, I will twist hog rings counter clockwise when they are attached to something rigid. I will cut them off if they are attached to something soft. I find they are easier to collect and trash if twisted off. Please keep liking and watching!
Love your videos. Do you have any talking about your table setup? I'm setting up a room just for my upholstery work, currently have the walking foot on it's original table but need a workspace for everything. Notice you don't sit in front of your machine like I was taught. Would like input on that type stuff.
Hello Carl, Thank you so much for saying so! I do not have a specific video yet, but that is a great suggestion! Really, I just wanted to make a work surface ahead as well as behind me. 16 feet long in total, and 60" wide for rolled goods. The cut out is so I can align my eye with the needle. Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Daos, Yep, you got that right. I keep the welt foot, or piping foot, or beading foot, as some call it, on my machine 99% of the time. Please keep liking and watching!

@@oldschoolautoupholstery thank you. yes i i really like your tutorials and tips. How about the glue you are using? Brand name please.... Is that better that contact cement?
@@castro5n29 Hello Castro, You are so welcome! Thank you so much for saying so. I use Weldwood Landau adhesive which is contact adhesive. It can be found at upholstery suppliers.

Hi Buddy
I really appreciate your videos. I went to trade school in high school for 2 yrs. I learned a lot of techniques, and after I graduated best in class in 1982 I've learned more on my own. Like you say " its not rocket science "
I use a Consew, got rid of my 211 G-165 Singer. It got worn out wasn't worth fixing.
You got me motivated again to get some stuff done.
I've encountered the same thing when people who buy this aftermarket seat covers. They think I can fix them, yeah right. The material is mostly junk.
Keep up your hard work and keep your videos coming.
In the trade, Russell

I see some people pull the material a little when they so. To me that distorts the material , is that right? Yours come out so nice. You make it look effortless, always a joy to watch.
Hello Feyton, Thank you so much for saying so! Yep, you got that right, pulling material will distort it. Please keep liking and watching!
I'm pretty cheap... if it were my truck, I would probably have removed the skirts from the original, found the closest match vinyl and made new skirts and tails.
Some pre-made kits use cheap vinyl, though.
I was taught to seal the edges and do the welting at the same time to save time. I like your way better!
Also, I was told to make slightly sharper angles where the skirt pieces meet, to keep it taut when installing, and cut slightly into the shoulders at the top so they fit snug.
Don't listen to me, though... I'm still a rank amateur upholsterer! The pleats in my own truck seat that I did years ago don't line up😖 but nobody notices but me.

Wow the seat turned out awesome, do you have a video for the best way to measure out material for boat seats, especially if a person’s using two different colors, I don’t want to use my seats as patterns because they are completely trashed and I want to do a different style, thanks Richard for your videos my friend 👍😁
Hello my friend Dave, Thank you so much for saying so! For boat seats I just lay them out, lined up on the floor, keeping within the 54" roll width. Then just take a tape measure and go down the imaginary roll. Don't forget to have enough vinyl for your sides. I usually add 1 or 2 yards extra just so I do not come up short.

Would leather be preferable/nicer than vinyl? Was vinyl chosen because it is cheaper, or is there another reason to pick it?
Hello Sech, Vinyl is always cheaper than leather. The only difference is a leather aroma for a year. Both last and wear the same. A $90,000 Escalade seats are combination leather/vinyl and nobody notices. Please keep liking and watching!

Question, what grade (or weight?) burlap do you use? Would heavier be better for any reason? Other than that, is all burlap equal in quality (other than thickness and weave) from most suppliers?

Hello Richard
Do you twist or cut hog rings?
Thxs
Hello Dell, Most of the time, I will twist hog rings counter clockwise when they are attached to something rigid. I will cut them off if they are attached to something soft. I find they are easier to collect and trash if twisted off. Please keep liking and watching!
Love your videos. Do you have any talking about your table setup? I'm setting up a room just for my upholstery work, currently have the walking foot on it's original table but need a workspace for everything. Notice you don't sit in front of your machine like I was taught. Would like input on that type stuff.
Hello Carl, Thank you so much for saying so! I do not have a specific video yet, but that is a great suggestion! Really, I just wanted to make a work surface ahead as well as behind me. 16 feet long in total, and 60" wide for rolled goods. The cut out is so I can align my eye with the needle.

looks fantastic, lovely colour too. question - do you use a piping foot for everything?

Just out of curiosity, since you glued the vinyl to the the skrim, why do you have so much loose material on it
because it's not glued solid, just enough to stop it moving around. the looseness disappears when the cover is stretched to fit.
@@daos3300 what would happen if it was glued solid?
Hello Daos, That is exactly the same answer I would have given. Thanks for having me back! Please keep liking and watching!
