In this tutorial video we will show you how to reupholster a powerboats aft bench cushion. This bench cushion hinges back to revel storage below. The cushion has a vinyl fabric cover which covers the foam then the vinyl fabric is stapled to a backer board. To reupholster this cushion we will cut and replace the old foam then a new cover will be made from marine quality vinyl seating fabric from Sailrite. We will also cover the underside of the backer board to give it a finished look.

@@vonkanon3091 The pros just quoted me $8,000-$9,000 to do a full interior on my 19' boat. That is probably beautifull but will be more than we spent on the entire project including an engine overhaul and buying the boat.

@patrickbrumm448 7 лет назад

also, to avoid a mass of material hitting the machine head, a handy set of larger clamps is useful to roll the material close to you working seam, and secure it so it does not result in obviously crooked lines. You only get one chance to do the decorative top stitch, so ensuring excess bulk does not interfere with passage is crucial!!

@leewilliis8533 5 лет назад

@SailriteDIY 4 года назад

@patrickbrumm448 7 лет назад

22:13 I noticed in an old boat seat skin I was replacing that this "first stitch" was more a matter of nailing the piping in place, while staying well to the inside of the end-seam. As I do my "1st piping stitch" I actually force the layers to the outside left edge of the piping foot, putting that 1st stitch deep into the allowance and utterly using a piping foot the wrong way. When you do the final layering, THIS is when you run the pipe properly through the foot's grove, resulting in a totally clean finished product and NEVER ANY CHANCE the 1st line stitch is visible

@SailriteDIY 7 лет назад

Very accurate and very good advice! I wish this was done when this cushions was made, but it was not. Thanks!!!

Добрый день! Если возможно подскажите по пошиву.Кант встрачивали обычной лапкой? И как пришивали боковую часть к канту не видя где должна пройти игла? Я пробую пришивать кант на машине с двойным продвижением с лапкой для канта и все равно, одна сторона получается не плотно пришитой.Смотрю и учусь по - Cechaflo- в ютубе.Если можно подскажите по этому вопросу.

@patrickbrumm448 7 лет назад

The bane of my existence finally answered at 15:57 - why exactly do the layers not feed through equally? I always assumed the top foot was smushing the material towards me, when she says here its because the bottom feet drag the bottom layer through faster, entirely inverting my guess.

@ohreally1021 3 года назад

Thank you for this handy tutorial! Pardon my weird question - I would like to use marine vinyl for my motorcycle seat, but the foam and current vinyl have a "lump" in the middle for comfort. Can you somehow stretch the new vinyl to get the lumpy shape, so it covers the foam without squeezing the foam lump in? Thanks

@jalan7055 4 года назад

Hi, redoing some boat cushions. Your videos are great! When adding boxing to a rectangular cushion, should the boxing be a simple straight cut piece of equal width or should it curve? I am using the old cushion as a pattern and when I lay the boxing out straight it seems to curve/arc slightly, but I am thinking it is just stretched out of shape from being pulled and stapled to the seat bottom.

@SailriteDIY 4 года назад

If the seat is simply rectangular then the boxing should be a simple straight cut piece equal to the width of the foam and enough to pull under the backer board to be stapled in place.

@thecardoc8234 4 года назад

What do I do about a pattern if my old seat's vinyl is badly torn and shrunken? Should the top plate be the same size as the wood base (plus seam allowance)?

@pilotnelson4507 2 года назад

Look for "Cechaflo" on RU-vid. He does excellent examples of how to measure and cut upholstery based on the foam form.

which foot should i use when sowing the welting piping in?

@SailriteDIY 3 года назад

If your using the Sailrite Ultrafeed Sewing machine the cording foot is built into the standard foot. If other sewing machine use a 3/16 to 1/4" cording foot.

@BigPrizz 8 лет назад

how do you prevent puckering caused by the slippage of the two materials against each other (meaning top and bottom material doesn't feed at same rate)?

@SailriteDIY 8 лет назад

Using a walking foot sewing machine can help with that issue, as it helps to pull the top fabric at the same rate as the bottom fabric. However, it is not a full solution. So... here are some helpful way to alleviate the issue totally. 1. Use a common stapler and pre-staple the assembly together every 6 to 12 inches. 2. Use Seamstick 1/4" (this is a double sided tape) and baste the edges together (my favorite approach for cushions that have stripes that must match up) before sewing.

@BigPrizz 8 лет назад

+Sailrite i have a sailrite lsz-1 and im having trouble with slippage/puckering. but in the video there seems to be no issue and no staples or basting.

@SailriteDIY 8 лет назад

When feeding fabric into the sewing machine, be sure too not pull or push one panel more than the other when sewing. Sometimes, that can be the issue. You can clip in match up marks along the two assemblies to be sure you are not feeding one in faster than the other as you sew. If you notice that your match up marks are not lining up you can tweak it as you sew them together, by pulling or pushing one panel as it is being sewn. Or You can pin or baste the assemblies together, before sewing (this is often shown on our videos, like this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QX_AEiROgaI.htmlm44s). If you want to use basting tape, instead of pins, and you are using a canvas material use Seamstick Basting Tape 1/4" for canvas:www.sailrite.com/Seamstick-1-4-Basting-Tape-for-Canvas-50-Yds to pre-baste the panels, that will solve the problem. If sewing vinyl fabric use #20306. Watch this video for more on that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w-FuavPtwgQ.htmlm40s

@shoaldaddyjamie2353 8 лет назад

What price would you charge on thus seat for all the work you did

@patrickbrumm448 7 лет назад

my guess and its probably on the low side: after new foam and change of pattern, $250-$300. If I were to redo the same seat, using same pattern, closest color, new piping, same foam (I flip it when optional...) I'd ask $80-$100 and I'm in a county with 1,400 lakes where everyone has a pontoon boat. I've been told my prices are too low.

@adamhaxton3619 5 лет назад

I don’t understand why when tracing the new foam why didn’t she use the wood instead cuz the foam isn’t exactly symmetrical

@SailriteDIY 5 лет назад

Typically most foam edges go past the backer-board edges by 1/2" or so. Yes, we could have traced around the board and just marked outside the edge that distance.

@adamhaxton3619 5 лет назад

Sailrite true that and also if you would’ve steamed the old foam it may have expanded to it’s original size being about 1/2 inch all around. Every time I used old foam we steamed it with a jiffy steamer

@patrickbrumm448 7 лет назад

16:32 Glue? no, I use lot of "glue", and what you mean here is "adhesive". In fact, if you used barge cement (a mucilaginous glue I guess you call it, cut with toluene) any exposed edge is more easily rubbed out in little boogers whereas vanishing some exposed seamstick is much harder! I am surprised she sets the seamstick in from the first edge, this only heightens the potential for exposure!

@TheChevyman21 6 лет назад

@jynclr 6 лет назад

That's not a French Seam. All that is is a top stitch to sew down the sides of the seam. It's a good look, yes, but it is not what a French Seam is. Love your videos, tho'.
