Piping is a trim that reinforces the edges of a seat cover or other upholstery items. Besides, it is a kind of decorative trim for our upholstery projects.
It was mostly used in old cars, but it persists up to the present as part of a car upholstery interior decoration. It was in fashion in the sixties and seventies and still in the eighties.
I show in this video 4 ways of attaching piping. Which one is the best?
The 2 first ways were usually used by car upholsterers years ago. Perhaps, in the present days too, albeit the double stitching (french seams) has come to replace it.
The first way, as we can see, consists in preparing beforehand a vinyl piping strip that would be then sewn down to the lateral panel. This lateral panel is next attached to the main panel.
Generally, as a rule, the piping should be sewn down on lateral panels, as these pieces are narrower and more straight hence easier to handle them over the bigger main panel.
The second way shows how the piping strip of vinyl including its piping cord is sewn down directly to the lateral panel. Next. it will be attached to the main panel. following as a guide the line of stitches left on the reverse side of lateral panel vinyl. Car upholsterers in the past used this method a lot.
As shown in the video one of the keys to prepare the piping strip is make long stitches to avoid closer holes that could weaken the material. The tensions should be slightly loosened too. If tensions are too tight the material could shrink and form puffy areas.
The third way is faster than the former ones. As we can see, the cover is sewn down at one go. This method is generally used on plain car seat covers (foamed or non- foamed). It is also used in furniture to make cushions or chair's covers.
This method was used in the factories to manufacture bus seat covers. The mass production process needs faster ways to achieve tasks. Besides, the worker earned more money because the more seat covers the more money they received.
The last fourth way shows a kind of oversewing with a cording pipe enclosed. It is a fast way of piping generally for simple covers in cars or furniture.
In conclusion, if we would have to perform complex covers, the best would be to prepare the welting/piping to correctly attach it to a lateral panel then sew it down to a main panel. It would take more time but it would be much better to handle and our sewing would be more precise because we have a pre-done line of stitches that are useful as guides for our final closing sewing.
I have used a piping preser foot for the demonstration. I would recommend to get several of them for different plastic pipe/cord thicknesses.
I hope you enjoy the video and find this information is useful!

Always good to learn from a master! I have trouble repairing a pocket but hope to learn enough tips and tricks to make my life a bit easier! This is the place..., Thanks!
First to comment!
As always thank you for the many lessons. You inspired me to take on many projects I otherwise would not have dared to! Keep up the good work!
Always the same vidéo quality, perfect, what a pleasure to go back to school.
Merci Professeur
Hola! maestro, un placer verlo de nuevo, como siempre es un placer ver sus videos, gracias a usted y su equipo, un gran abrazo.
Большое Спасибо! Так много новой информации! В каждом действии чувствуется огромный опыт.
amazing skills and made to look so easy - you can see the experience in those hands - thank you for sharing tightening the tension on the final run makes so much sense 🙏
As a suggestion to these amazing videos, maybe think to put “Turn on Captions” in the title or run that instruction across the screen occasionally
Спасибо за подробную съёмку!
Очень подробно и очень классно! Браво! Спасибо большое! Будьте здоровы!
That looks spectacular 👍
Thanks for your's tutorials!
Muy bueno ! Me encanto. Gracias Maestro por la lección.
Thanks for sharing. Lovely work.
Un grand merci pour les cours j'adore
A master at work..!! Thanks for the tips. I really appreciate you..!!
Really like the fourth method. I assume you have to determine the extra vinyl needed to "roll" the material over the piping so you can keep the original dimension of the side panel.
Thank You for showing. It especially comes in handy that I have the same machine 😊. Now I need to practice.
Jus perfect !
Спасибо 👍👍👍
gracias maestro
Золотые руки!
Спасибо
عمل رائع نتمنى مشاهدة المزيد
Maestro ,gracias por la enseñanza, excelente video como siempre. Una duda, si fuese tan amble de responder. La medida del pie para el ribete. Gracias de nuevo.
El pié de presión original es de 1/4". El que muestro en el video lo modifiqué para hacerlo mas corto.

Love your videos. I wonder what the pliers is that you use?

Deberías colocar otro tipo de color de hilo ,para que resalte la costura y así dejar el espacio necesario.
Hola Maestro, muchas gracias por sus lecciones. estoy cominziendo ahora la costura , soy nuevo y estoy practicando con una 1245 me va bien pero tengo un gran problema para empezar y cerrar la costura del hilo, por favor puedes hacer un video de como empezar y cerrar una costura correctamente? gracias.
(traducido con Google)
Cuando se empieza una costura es importante rematar en el inicio con el fin que no se afloje o descosa la costura. Para tal fin tenemos la palanca de reversa. Este remate se puede hacer también moviendo a mano la rueda grande de la máquina. Dos puntadas hácia adelante y luego levantar los piés prensatelas ligeramente, jalar el material y repasar con mas puntadas sobre las que hicimos. La palanca de la rodilla levanta los piés de presión. Esta segunda forma lo utilizo mas cuando se acolchona por encima, para no sobrepasar el remate en el borde y que podría verse al unir otra pieza.

Great video as always. With the first and second methods, you run a longer stitch (6mm?) and lower tension on the first 2 layers. And then a higher tension on the final layer and short stitch length (3mm?). Why is this?
Long stitches to avoid the weakening of the vinyl with closer holes. It is practically a basting stitch. Soft tensions to avoid the shrinking of vinyl on its edge.
Short stitches and tighter tensions to get a tight sewing junction.
It is explained in the video description.
Hey Cesar, thanks a lot for the videos, impressive job ! What is the thickness of the leatherette that you are using in this video, and how can i purshase some ? ^^
The automotive vinyl is 0.8 mm thick. I am located in Mexico and get this material from local suppliers. If you are in the USA you could order vinyl and other supplies from www.albrightssupply.com/products-search?qs=Automotive+vinyl
@@Cechaflo Thanks for getting back to me. I am in France but your answer will help me a lot, thank you very much !
Maestro siempre es un placer verlo coser , maestro una consulta que medida son sus prensatelas
Estimado Anthony, regularmente utilizo el 'vivo' plástico de estos diámetros:
ua-cam.com/video/ZUFp3Z3k2hQ/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/XjAcX1BGhi8/v-deo.html
Lo compré en Amazon. Ebay también vende. Lo recorte un poco y lo hice mas corto en el largo, para poder dar vueltas cerradas mucho mejor. Hay de varias medidas. El que muestro en el video es de 1/8" mas el grosor del material(piel o vinil)

@@Cechaflo muchas gracias :)
Would a help if you put glue in the piping first
yes, prepare the welting beforehand.
Cechaflo, por mas que quise ver el modelo de tu PFAFF no lo vi, me puedes decir que modelo es y donde comprarla aqui en U.S.A. y si es pisible los materiales de vinil y cuero y donde comprarlos, Muchas gracias por mostrar tu tecnica para regular tensiones y poner las 3 formas de poner el tubo.
Pfaff 1245-706. Modelos parecidos 545-h3 y la 145

Hola! In the first example you sew the piping to the panel and when you show your work you can see the stitches on the piping. Then when you sew the 2nd panel on, suddenly you can’t see the stitches anymore? How do you get it tighter against the piping so you don’t see the stitches? After the second panel you show your work again and it looks like there are 2 sets of stitches. One closer and one not as close. How did you get the second one tighter against the piping?
Interesting remark! I'd be glad to answer. It happens that the hollow shape(big and small foot that form it) where the piping strip is housed is slightly wider than the piping cord. It means that at our first sewing it is almost impossible to be tight including the second sewing attaching it to lateral panel edge.
I could say this foot would get a tighter closing sewing at the end because the real measure is for the bulky part formed at the end by the 2 layers of vinyl(top and bottom) plus two layers of folded over strip including the plastic piping cord.
In other words the piping foot hollow shape should be for the final sewing when attaches those layers of vinyl together.
The final closing sewing is done approx 2 mm from the other line of stitches(our guide) on the seam.
I hope this information helps.
I use 1 size too large piping foot, then switch to the correct piping foot for final sewing 👍
😊😊
What foot size in inches would you choose for a 2.5mm cord? A thousand thanks
It should be included the 2.5 mm piping plus the folded vinyl thickness that would be 2 mm more.
Consequently, the ideal foot groove should be of a 4.5 mm wide.

You could purchase on internet pipiping feet of different sizes.
@@Cechaflo thanks, but when you join 6 all at the end besides the border there aren't 4 layers, 2 of the vinyl of the border and 2 of the vinyl above the piece to be sewn?
@@Dekracap You are right. Sorr, I'd forgotten. Consider that and look for the right foot groove measure.
@@Cechaflo Thanks again, you don't have to apologise. I ordered 2 feet for my old durkopp, one 4.8mm and one 6.3mm, let's see which one will be more useful. once I find the right size I will buy one for the Pfaff 1245, like yours.
@@Dekracap That is great. If necessary to make an adjustment you can do it with a motortool. Those small rounded milling tools are useful
Добрый день!
Вопрос: зачем менять натяжение нити? Что это даёт?
To sew (baste) the piping strip to a lateral panel the tensions should be soft a little Why? because if they are too tight the vinyl shrinks on its edge. These first sewings are kind of basting with long stitches.
On the contrary tensions should be tight for the final sewing to get a tight junction. Stitches should be shorter.

A lot of the time when you are sewing, you are doing something with your right hand out of the camera view something near the right side of the sewing machine. What is it you are doing?
He’s probably doing what I do, starts and controls the belt with the right hand!
He is shifting gears on his swing machine. His a manual sewing machine.
Sometimes I have to move my hand to the right to handle the big wheel manually in order to slowly show part of the sewing process. Other times as the camera man is focusing on that side I have to move my right hand aside to not block up the recording action that really matters.
