very helpful
Hello Sandi, Thank you so much! Please keep liking and watching!
Thank you for sharing this technique- I made this mistake only bonus is guessing a few others have too
You are so welcome! Anything to help. Always learning something new I say,,,
Thanks for showing your fantastic work!l am over 70 and want to to do my own upholstery on all my classic cars.i am very Pickky on how they look and I love your technique of beading.Years ago a metal polisher call me Pickky, he's long gone but I never forgot the sarcastic complement I received from him. I just wanted to tell him exactly what I wanted.In the near future I want to put on a new replacement canvas on my old woody wagon ,maybe in the near future you can Show some basic Setups different Stich technique ,overlapping canvas materia the correct way just saying, thanks again.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I understand completely. That is exactly the reason I have done all the work myself. I can see we both have high standards. I think you will do very well with your classic cars. Thanks for watching!
Thanks!
Hello Whitey, Thank you so much for your support as always! Please keep liking and watching!
Thanks Mr. Rudy. I’ve been dealing with this issue and small details and it’s really annoying to finish a project and the stitches are visible and their not supposed to be! Thanks again for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Hello Mike, yep, I know what you mean. Practice practice practice. Experience is the best teacher. Please keep liking and watching!
Awesome buddy, thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Keep those tips, and I love them
Hi! Thank you so much for that. I try to keep things interesting. Please keep watching!
You can sew the welt from the inside of the machine , welt to the inside, that will leave a nice gap so that when you stitch it together you stitch inside the stitchline and it will be perfect.
I have never tried that as I have always had a welt foot. Something new for me to try! Thanks! Thank you for the great comment.
thanks for sharing
I love sharing! More to come!
Excellent tips.
Hello Pauley, Thank you so much! Please keep liking and watching!
Hello Richard. I tried your method #432 and it does work. My biggest mistake was trying to save a little cash and I didn't use solid welt cord to make my welting but a softer braided cord. When I was putting the welting together with the fabric in a seam I was sewing 2 layers of velour fabric backed with 1/2 inch scrim. My little channel in the welting foot couldn't hold that big bundle of stuff under it and it kept trying to walk away from under the foot. That 1/2 inch stuff is hard to handle. I also found when sewing a regular seam with the 1/2 inch foam backed fabric that if I got too close to the edge of the foam it would slip from under the foot. I just recently found a good site by MRTC called Consew 206 maintenance vol 1 and it describes how to properly adjust the walking feet. Mine are way out and that I think that is much of the problem. It is all a learning experience but I am paying attention and getting through it. I have seen some sites on welting say that you should cut your fabric strips to make the welt on a diagonal. Can you tell me why? Thanks again. Fred.
Hello Fred, Yep, the thicker the material, the harder to work with. Learning is doing right? Make mistakes makes a better you. I have seen the diagonal cut to join two pieces for welt, but I never do that method. Please keep liking and watching!
Thank you for your comments and for your guidance. You do make it look so easy and doing it is difficult and I think I am learning every day. You are right, 10% knowledge and 90% technique.@@oldschoolautoupholstery
@@whiteyfarm Hello Whitey, you are so welcome! So true, very true. Please keep liking and watching!
Could you show us how you stitch panels to welt great video again
Hello Mark, I am sure in the many seat videos I have there are some that would show the sewing of welt to a seat panel. A welt foot would be very helpful to do this. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery I’ll keep looking 😀
Your awesome
Hello Tina, Thank you for the awesome compliment! I really appreciate it! Please keep watching!
That is exactly what we need to know! I have made the mistake of sewing to tight the first time and once sewed on and thread is visible your have regrets. Thanks for the TIP!
Hi, Well I am guessing that you will never do that again right?
@@oldschoolautoupholstery I think I have learned my lesson, as you say others see your work and they will know who done it.
@@fakename3042 Yes, we all want to try to keep a good reputation! Right?
Great tip. I have done it the wrong way before. Sometimes it’s a challenge to keep the welt loose enough. Multiple passes to later tighten the final seam perforates and weakens the material. Attention to detail! Great stuff!
This is why you need a machine where you can move the needle position from left to right.
I guess my machine doesn't have that feature. Thanks for commenting!
Great instructional videos, thank you! When cutting vinyl for making welts, is it necessary or preferred to cut it from the roll at an angle, or straight across, or along the edge? Thanks
Hello Tom, Thank you so much for saying so. Standard width of vinyl is usually 54 inch's wide. Welt can be cut from anywhere. Not rocket science. For lengths over 54 inches, I will go up the roll. Please keep liking and watching!
I'm sorry to bother you with this, but I know you will respond to me. I recently happened upon great deal on the same Juki machine you are using. I have not been able to find a definitive answer on what fits as well as to what is good and what is junk. I'm new to industrial machines and contacted a major sewing machine supplier for help to get a zipper foot and a couple of sizes of piping feet. The lady I spoke with referred me to an industrial machine "expert" but he hasn't responded to me. I'm trying to get what I need to complete a project before the end of the year. Could you point me to the above feet that fit this machine or a resource that can help me? I'm sure it is a simple matter, I just don't know what might be a universal fit, what needs to be machine specific, etc.
Thank you very much. Keep up the great videos!
Hello Jason, I am sorry to say that I don't pay any attention to that. But I think if you Google "industrial sewing machine parts supplier" they should be able to help you. Or the Jiki website. Please keep liking and watching!
I found Juki's site to be a waste of time and I've done the search. I'm about down to buying a foot and seeing if it fits.@@oldschoolautoupholstery
Thank you for the great tip. Question: For automotive seats (leather) do you recommend 3/8 plastic type welt chord or the Foam type chord? Thanks /John
Hello John, You are so welcome! 3/8" welt chord sounds huge. I usually use a plastic 14/32" welt insert. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery you're right... that was a typo on my part. I meant 3/16 which is actually a lot smaller than 14/32. But looks like 14/32 is actually bigger than 3/8
@@johnwoolfrey5093 Hello John, Ha! Got me! Made me look... Typo. I meant 4/32. Sorry for the confusion. Please keep liking and watching!
Thank you and what size thickness scrimp foam is best for leather?
1/4 inch or 1/2 inch or does it not matter? Thanks again for your technique on sewing welt.. I confess to the poor work😢
Hi! 1/4 or 1/2 inch foam really depends on the application. I usually use 1/4 for seat panels or door panels. 1/2" for seat inserts.
Should welt cord or something be sewn around the bottom of a seat cover to run the hog rings through? Or is something else done or used to keep the hog rings from pulling through the material?
Hello RJ, Yes, that is one way of doing it. Or the old school way is to sew a seat listing at that lower edge and run a listing wire through it. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery awesome sir thanks for the response! I’m learning a lot watching you and I’m excited to give it a shot real soon for my first time.
@@RJTickler Hello RJ, I would like to invite you to browse through the videos on my channel. Maybe some can help you out. Please keep liking and watching!
I didn't have any listing wire so I bought some ceiling hanging wire from Home Depot and ran that through the listing. It is fairly stiff. Fred.@@oldschoolautoupholstery
@@whiteyfarm Hello Fred, I have not tried that but maybe I need to. Thanks for the great tip! Please keep liking and watching!
Hi do you have one machine just to make the welt ? or does the guide foot interchangeable . Thanks
It's an interchangeable foot called a welt foot. A lot cheaper than an additional sewing machine...
@@oldschoolautoupholstery awsome thanks .
@@Oldcarnut63 You are so very welcome!
What is the name of the leg for the welt please
Hello Julia, I think you are asking about the "Welt foot". Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery yes the welt foot 😀
@@juliawotkman-yk7im Hello Julia, Yep, you got it! Please keep liking and watching!
Ok how big is that welt and the size of that welting foot
I like to use 4/32 welt insert. Not sure of the welt foot. I really don't get that technical. WOrks for me.
What size/thickness thread do you use ? I have a 1965 thunderbird I am going to try to reupholster
@@karenjackson6224 Hi, Standard upholstery thread used for upholstery on a commercial sewing machine, bought at upholstery supply stores.
@@oldschoolautoupholstery standard is 90 right or at least thats what my upholstery supply store i go to carries
@@soldiercoleone I have to say that I have not really paid too much attention to the size. I just always buy the same thing. So I took many rolls of thread off the shelf and took a good look. I have several different brands of thread and not one has a size on the label. Go figure... Sorry, I don't have more info but I tried...
The real witchcraft is when you form the welt cord and sew together both panels all at the same time with just one pass through the machine.
Hello Nicoya, Did I do that? Sometimes I just work in cruise control and don't think too much about it. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Nah, I was just mentioning an alternate technique.
@@Nicoya Hello Nicoya, Righ On! Right on. Please keep liking and watching!
Hey Rudolph... Me as a newbie in upholstery for 2 years, doing mostly car interiors, learned all from YT videos from a highly talented man that rhymes with "sewitslow" just discovered you out lately. Its amazing how you almost have all the right answer to all of my open questions. I can not thank you enough for sharing your experience with us, especially technique # 96378 is a banger ... I love to watch your videos.
