Sewing is the easy part the teardown,foam,spring and pattering is the real work.
Good luck. Hope that works for you. I have done upholstery for years. It takes a long time to get good at it. The trick is doing it efficiently. You may do it, but it may take you forever.
If your time is not worth that much to you, then you're on the right track. Good luck.
The reality is if you are good at upholstery you don’t need all the attachments. The more you do it the less you will use the attachments. Really 80% skill 20% tools. Triple feed or double feed… both work fine and both have pros and cons 😉
Very informative! I'm a photographer by trade but I've always enjoyed working on German cars. I really want to learn to restore car interiors and I've just bought a sawing machine. I looked all over for something used but the prices were too high. So I bought a new Juki 1541 (it was $300 more than the consew 206) Thank you for posting!
Wow! Awesome video. I need to learn this for a couple European projects we have. It all started for us with our 66 VW bug that we sold years ago and have regretted it ever since. Moved on to a 68 912 so I am looking forward to learning how to do this. Your other videos are awesome too. Thanks for doing this.
Ceclaflo is a great great apholster !!
Thanks man . I have a lot of business in color work and minor repairs. I always turn down work regarding reupholstery and I was literally going to buy any old machine. This really helped a lot w guiding me into the right purchase. I wish you got a commission on the consew link bc I’m buying + all attachments you mentioned. Thank you again and looking forward to your videos on technique
Looks like the shop has a few nice metal machines on a table I like to sew edges on all my towels and Shop Rags it just makes them last long time
Looking forward to your next videos on sewing.
I also watch Cechaflo but wish he would explain some things. I also watch Rudy at Old School Auto Upholstery. Thanks for good explanation between double feed and triple flow walking foot.
Cool, thanks and it is super important that the machine takes the guides and welting feet you will be using.
Excellent Mike, have been looking at doing for a long time.Will start by just making covers for my bikes and ride on mowers, the ill look at my cars
Sewing machines came a long way in the last 10 years I have taken a break 10 years ago I was sewing all the time
Yep, the guy who did my front seats in my Vanagon has disappeared also. Maybe Alien abduction. 😮😮😮 Great video and a great idea for you to teach this stuff. I love learning stuff from such a young guy. Keep up your videos! 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Yes -- I would be interested in following you along in sewing ---- I thought I heard you say a Sears 111 --- would be able to sew automotive ---- I don't know if attachments were available for it --- but ---- as you said things are so expensive now ---- if one just took his time --- lined up the pieces and feed it through -- it should come out ok ---- as like you --if I can make it -- I'll have a good feeling about it --- might not be perfectly straight as the fixtures would do -- just take your time -------- Thank You for the video ---- PS ---- What's the name of your other channel? ------- Rodney
You need a walking foot sewing machine
He said Singer 111. real old school, great machines that everyone copied features from.
Awesome video Great work yes had a friend did upholstery in shop next to my doll up shop he moved to Arizona not sure if he is still kicking but good idea would like to see your videos on upholstery.
Very cool!
lots moving out of CA.....cost of living is just too high.
Thanks for the video, already excited for the sewing video part😬
Very interested in following this , the upholstery guys by me flaked out as well.
I have been looking at doing my own upholstery. There is not a lot of info out there in my opinion. My wife’s aunt makes wedding dresses and her own patterns. I was about to start bugging her. 😜thanks again - good info 👍
Go for it!
Because it is an art craft not a service. Good luck..
Ton of information ! Thank you !
I would actually learn how to do body work to fix my vw. Has a few chips and dents on one of the fenders but it’s single stage paint 🤔
yea still putting videos on that up as I finish the projects I am working on.
Have u. been sewing and if so, can you tell me what link for i can watch
Hey Mike ! You got a new machine SEW WHAT ?
Harbor freight had a grey mate moving blanket that was cheap .
Is the channel you recommended cechaflo?
yes he has some good stuff
Question: What is meant by a "Compound Walking foot" machine and what's the added benefit?
As I understand it there's the standard home sewing machine that mostly women
sew wedding dresses on 😆
These have a single way of moving the material past the needle - a 'feed dog'
that is below the needle.
Then there's the walking foot that has the presser foot, above the feed dog that
comes down and squeezes the material between it and the feed dog and moves the
material away from you.
And then there's the kind of machine that when the needle has reached the bottom of the stroke
It and the presser foot and the feed dog All move the material back, away from you.
Check out Sailrite Sewing Machines, they have MaNy ViDeOs on line and great customer service.
A guy that has also many videos is Jasonofalltrades - he goes over different machines and gives tips on
sewing. www.youtube.com/@thejasonofalltrades/videos
I had a 225 machine. I got rid of it because it couldnt handle thick threads like 207 and 277 and the bobbin was too small and the no reverse kimda sucked but you could learn how to lock a stitch without. I saw a mod with the height adjustment so that it could sew thicker threads. The 226 model is the same but has reverse
have u been sewing. and do u have any i can watch
Would you be willing to install a headliner in a 64 ghia?
I'm sure material and cost of living has something to do with it. All trade work should be paid what they are worth, they earned it.
Great video!
Right now, purchasing from Walmart is about 133 dollars cheaper and it includes free shippimg for the same machine.
That looked like before I let a guy paint it while I was in the hospital. I wanted the Beryl green and tan seats. The paint I gave him was already set to go and mix and paint but he had left and one of the guys in the shop painted it yellow that was what the ex wife told me and I had a back operation. I should have done it myself I having done 2 model A's and a 31 chevy sedan that came out real well. I told this man he fix it or else and I was not feeling well and could hardly walk but was so upset he would not let me get the car but I had given a man the keys and told him where he kept his key for the gate to get in and he got it back to me. Yes the police showed up but I had the title and showed them the original color and they told me to get in contact with the Better Business and file a complaint. I never did. it was a waste of money and will never trust anyone with anything of mine again.
I could see in a different state 10 California Drive 20 miles you could do it in 15 minutes been here takes an hour
Please get back to finishing the ghia and bug
There was a time people would strip their entire vehicle down to the metal thinking they were going to restore a car then realize life takes so much time to survive e-shop get dressed nothing ever got done and you have a disassembled car sitting in your driveway for your entire life
salut c ridha de tunisie
je suis un technicien de maintenance du machine de cuir
tu peux m'aider de trouver un job dans le secteur du cuir chez vous
The point I'm making is California has turned into a place that you can't get anything done or people charge a fortune
yea gotten really bad here. just a crap show with government who is just making stuff worse and cost more.
@Mike Fn Garage lol, you can’t learn upholstery by watching a UA-cam, upholstery at least, 90%, skill, and less than 10% equipment and attachments. I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. I’ve ran an upholstery business for over 28 years… bad upholstery is cheap. Good upholstery is not cheap.
$1500
Complaining about the cost for new upholstery. 10 years ago I used to get 100’ rolls of carpet shipped free, today it’s over a $1.00 per pound,5 rolls isn’t cheap.
Some people are still under the impression that Chits free, it’s not.
I find people who complain out prices have no problem pissing money away for useless things, like $8.00 for a $2.00 burger.
