Thank you sir. Your teaching method, your attention to detail, and the tips you share are a treasure to those of us out here with no mentors or teachers to guide us. Thank you.
Thanks so much for sharing your skill. I am self taught for about 3 years now, and your videos have taught me so much about furniture and the craft in general.
Thank you Maestro Cesar from Colorado, USA! Believe it or not, I cannot find any upholstery classes here in Denver! Without your videos, I would be lost. I've been practicing sewing a Recaro thigh bolster for months with scrap material, but I've never been able get it right. Today's practice came out so much better after watching this video a few times! I needed this video so much! It taught me how close I must put my fingers to the needle, how to make the relief cuts, and how to precisely position the leather. I love your teaching style, thank you, thank you, thank you!
@Patrick Fay, I'm in a class in NJ! they offer a basic and advanced class in automotive upholstery and are waiting on accreditation for a residential upholstery course as well. quite a few people come here to learn from all states! check out Mobile Technical Training in NJ. I love these video bcuz they reinforce what I'm learning and enhances my training still it's recorded and I can watch over and over thx @Cechaflo, I'm loving your FLO!!!
I actually took an upholstery class in Denver. The class is good and very useful but for video content, Nothing is better than Cechaflo here on UA-cam. Having said that nothing truly beats hands on practice. Both are great. Look up Emily Griffith technical school. They have an upholstery class I took. He will teach whatever you want to know.
I think the videos here from the Maestro are the best for people who work odd hours, so can't attend a class. I've repaired a torn seam in my back seat by removing it completely, then remaking new holes with the awl I made from a different one of the Maestro's classes, and then I put it all back on with about a billion hog rings, and I improved my hog ring plier using yet another of his videos. I'm a female, and he doesn't make us do anything (yet) that I can't do myself. It brings me so much joy to beautify my dream car that I wanted for 20 years, and finally got almost two years ago. I'm going to tackle the front seats next, because these curve sewing methods are exactly what I need. I will have my car looking so much better, and I owe it to the maestro! I can't thank him enough, or ¡Graciás!
As always, an impecable vídeo with very clear visual instructions to accomplish the difficult task of sewing round corners! Thanks to you, thousands of us will improve greatly our leather upholstery skills. Thanks again to you and your son, who very profesionally films your work :-)
Defientely! That's the pedagogical procedure we're trying to develop 'a visual method' to teach and learn. No spoken and a minimum written explanation to make the interested person understand what about and ask in case of doubt. Furthermore, for people who is not interested create a moment of enjoyment to see how upholstery is done. Thanks for watching these videos!
Cechaflo I really find that your method of instruction is far superior to those who babble on and on, and have music too, you can't hear them or concentrate. What you're teaching us here requires our full attention, as we may be working with a piece of leather that has taken a long time to find that's just right. If we are distracted, a mistake can be in a very unfortunate and obvious spot, and would possibly ruin the leather that was so difficult to find. With Maestro Cechaflo, it's done right the first time. Thank you so much for sharing your extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise on upholstery with us. Not only does it save us money, we get to know that we did it ourselves. That's a great feeling to have when you look at that car and it looks great because YOU didn't pay someone else a fortune to do a mediocre job. Once again, I truly can't thank you enough.
I don’t know if using a stapler is common in leatherwork but it’s genius. I’m going to try it with fabric. I can’t believe I never considered this myself. THANK YOU

I love the fruity colors! Inspiration, man! Probably end up doing fruitier colors for my car. Then again, I’m pretty fruity. So to answer your question, people like me, colorful, fruity, eccentric, and not afraid to break up the mundanity of life by shaking things up through self expression.
En ambos casos sea piel o vinil, si se puede usar 'espuma' a los lados. Es recomendable una espuma delgada, digamos, 5 mm ó 1/4" de pulgada. En ambos casos también lo podemos dejar sin éspuma' a los lados. Yo creo que depende del trabajo que nos solicitan. Si no pagan mucho, conviene 'acolchonar' solo las partes de asiento y espaldar principales. Para este 'acolchonado', se acostumbra el hule espuma de 1/2" pulgada ó de 1 cm.
Como siempre Maestro Cesar, Excelente video. Viendo sus enseñanzas, me decidí y este Sábado, me compro una Pfaff para empezar a hacer trabajos en cuero. Y todo gracias a usted. Tengo una pregunta. ¿Como se llama la cinta que pega en la costura; o mejor dicho que tipo de cinta es? Posiblemente en Mexico tenga un nombre distinto al de aquí, parece de nylon similar al que se usa como en las manijas de los bolsos ¿Es así o es otra? Y le agradezco una vez más por tomarse la molestia de contestar siempre mis preguntas. Le mando un afectuoso saludo desde Buenos Aires, Argentina
En el min Doce:22 del video lineas abajo, se muestra el material (tela sintética que se usa en los muebles para tapar la parte inferior), por aquí se llama 'pellon'. También se puede usar un vinil muy delgado estirable para que se amolde a las partes curvas.

In this support video I show this kind of cloth used in furniture to cover the frame below. Watch min Doce:22ua-cam.com/video/za3hAqfUq8g/v-deo.html It's called 'pellon' here in Mexico. It's strong enough and you have to cut the strips. But, it could be used a thin elastic vinyl or canvas instead.
Sorry, I forgot the 'yellow glue'. I'm using a solvent based(thinner) adhesive/cement/glue which most of the upholsterers and shoemakers use.

It is the regular presser foot. I cut off one toe to have a wider view. www.amazon.com/CKPSMS-KP-19029-Double-Sewing-Machine/dp/B07R1W5C4G I am using a Pfaff 1245-706/47
Hey Cechaflo, been about 4 months since I have gotten back into your videos. Always love watching them when I do. Do you find it better to staple 3-5mm away from your stitch line? I see you are using a stapler to but not stapling on the seam line? Also what stapler do you suggest I get for all around purpose? Thanks so much as always.
Hello Greg. Sorry for delay in answering. It is not advisable to staple so close to seam line of stitches. The needle coul break apart or twist. Staples are like 'basting' in tailoring. They would go according the thickness of materials attached together. After putting them over the seam I would advise to flatten down with a pair of pincers the protruding ends to get an even surface while sewing. As I am located in Mexico, trade marks are different, so I cannot recommend one special, sorry. I have a related video: ua-cam.com/video/-ANK1IRrkow/v-deo.html There is another related video a fried posted: ua-cam.com/video/X2OHhdZVyFc/v-deo.html
Also where did you get that big steel round anvil for hammering? I am looking for one as well but kind of follow what you do to the point. If I don't need an anvil i won't get one.
The 'anvil' is a remnant of a stainless steel round shape bar I bought to make my steering-wheel holder. It is now useful to hammer on. Thanks for watching the videos!
Cesar,I need help with attaching my completed seat covers to cushions!! I'm noticing alot of creases from the d rings and the holders.. I'm thinking about jist using Velcro in place of the d rings and wires the hold the seat covers to the cushion..any help is appreciated..thanks
I clearly understand the issue. 'Velcro' is a good option to fast attach the cover to the cushion. You would need to make a low relief channel on the foam to let the 'velcro' in the recess, or add foam and let the 'velcro' in a low relief. I think you should use a strong glue to attach one of the strips of 'velcro' to the cushion. The other velcro part would go sewn on the backside of the cover. To easily put the cover on, I'd recommend the use of a 'thin plastic' over the foamed cushion to let the cover slide over. After having the cover in place you should remove the plastic by pulling it down off. The other idea, I think easier would be tie up 'strings' to the 'listing wires' and with a long needle pull them down through until getting the back side of the cushion, as if it were furniture. The string should be tied up on the back to the springs. In this video I show the use of 'velcro':ua-cam.com/video/0LXPXHhp1ag/v-deo.html
It's a zipper foot, I only made two small notches to the small foot as guides to sewing double stitches. Besides, I like it because we have a wider appreciation of what I'm doing.
@@carlitos8thgen Es una tira de tela muy fina que le llaman 'pellon' . Este material se usa mucho en el tapizado de las sillas y muebles. Va por debajo a manera de guardapolvo.
Cechaflo Hello , was hoping for a model number , like P22 or P35 ? Couldn’t stop video long enough to focus on writing on stapler,, if u got time could u look again for number ? You are a mighty fine craftsman sir !!! You must have started young ?? Thank You ! Wayne Thank You
La engrapadora es marca Arrow modelo P-22 para grapas de 1/4" y 5/16". Es la semi-industrial. Para materiales mas gruesos está la de marca Rapid Heavy Duty 31. Las compré en Home Depot. En este video se muestran tres clases de engrapadora: ua-cam.com/video/-ANK1IRrkow/v-deo.html
I've used similar techniques myself as you. With the exception of not using an ink pen. I was told that ink would spread through materials and a beautiful stitch would be ruined by a stain later on. Has this been your experience? We have used China markers (and other various methods). I can definitely appreciate the work that goes into a good job. Shows like pimp my ride and the like seem to make it happen so quickly...gives folks the impression that is quite inaccurate. Thanks for your videos to share the TRUTH about this art.
Thanks so much for watching this video! You are right! I also on real leather projects do not use ink pens. I use those china silver markers or waxed pencils instead. This is only a demo on a scrap of leather and I have marked some lines on the backside of leather material to make my students have a better idea of seam allowance and where the lockstitches would go. As mentioned , most of my videos are aimed to beginners not pro people.
Cechaflo thanks for responding. I knew you were good. I know we can all learn something from each other... I guess I didn't see the bigger picture. Thanks for not chewing me out. 😀😎😇
Hi Jeffrey, No, not at all! I only can say that we never stop learning everyday! I say it because I'm still in the past and I try to update myself. I remember I was accustomed to upholster those cardboard door panels or those bow type headliners. And when I again came back to this craft a few years ago I barely knew about the new headliners or plastic base door panels, etc. But the upholstery principles remain the same.
Estimado Alejandro, la marca es Arrow aquí en Mexico. Johnny uno de nuestros amigos seguidores de nuestro canal nos muestra unas engrapadoras parecidas de la marca Rapesco en España:ua-cam.com/video/CnoUXlZtzKs/v-deo.html
Interesting it look relatively small to the seat may need to heated blowout bigger as new meter all press on the old foam made it shrink to a few centi meter smaller naw
I'm enjoying your videos, but, Please........... don't be so Chatty, lol. What I'm learning is that it is obvious that you are very particular about where Every Single Stitch lands.

disculpe maestro , que modelo es la grapadora, y que grapas usa??
La engrapadora es marca Arrow modelo P-22 para grapas de 1/4" y 5/16". Es la semi-industrial. Para materiales mas gruesos está la de marca Rapid Heavy Duty 31. Las compré en Home Depot. En este video se muestran tres clases de engrapadora: ua-cam.com/video/-ANK1IRrkow/v-deo.html
ok gracias maestro ,la buscare, saludos
I've used similar techniques myself as you. With the exception of not using an ink pen. I was told that ink would spread through materials and a beautiful stitch would be ruined by a stain later on. Has this been your experience? We have used China markers (and other various methods).
I can definitely appreciate the work that goes into a good job.
Shows like pimp my ride and the like seem to make it happen so quickly...gives folks the impression that is quite inaccurate.
Thanks for your videos to share the TRUTH about this art.
Thanks so much for watching this video!
You are right! I also on real leather projects do not use ink pens. I use those china silver markers or waxed pencils instead. This is only a demo on a scrap of leather and I have marked some lines on the backside of leather material to make my students have a better idea of seam allowance and where the lockstitches would go. As mentioned , most of my videos are aimed to beginners not pro people.
Cechaflo thanks for responding. I knew you were good. I know we can all learn something from each other... I guess I didn't see the bigger picture. Thanks for not chewing me out. 😀😎😇
Hi Jeffrey, No, not at all! I only can say that we never stop learning everyday! I say it because I'm still in the past and I try to update myself. I remember I was accustomed to upholster those cardboard door panels or those bow type headliners. And when I again came back to this craft a few years ago I barely knew about the new headliners or plastic base door panels, etc. But the upholstery principles remain the same.
thank you! i enjoy and appreciate your videos!!!
You are welcome to this upholstery channel!
Hola amigo, como sea llama esta grapadora. Saludo desde España
Estimado Alejandro, la marca es Arrow aquí en Mexico. Johnny uno de nuestros amigos seguidores de nuestro canal nos muestra unas engrapadoras parecidas de la marca Rapesco en España:ua-cam.com/video/CnoUXlZtzKs/v-deo.html

I am located in Mexico and trade marks are different. I bought mine at Home Depot store.

I'm enjoying your videos, but, Please........... don't be so Chatty, lol. What I'm learning is that it is obvious that you are very particular about where Every Single Stitch lands.
