I want to share with my interested users some other tips we should take into account. Needless to say, it is only my point of view, because there are another ways of doing it great.
The first tip is: we should consider the 'stretchy side' of any kind of leather material...it's similar to an 'stretchy vinyl', so according to the position in the seat the patterned pieces should be laid down and cut. Second tip: if the foamed pieces are going to be reinforced in the back, we should choose the right cloth...if the design is completely flat, then a 'stiff cloth' should be more than enough, but if we're going to strive with rounded parts such as bolsters, then I'd recommend the use of an 'elastic cloth' as a reinforcement.
Third tip: to avoid 'clashing thread views' or 'big needle holes', I'd advise to do the first 'closing sewing' with the standard upholstery thread, same color of material, and sew with a thin needle on your machine. For 'double stitches' on top´view, we could use a thicker needle...140=22 would be ok for little thicker thread. Obviously, a thicker thread would be compatible with a thicker needle, 180=24, 200=25, etc.
Fourth tip: as my point of view and some other master trimmers' opinion, the material on top (leather, vinyl, fabric) never should be glued down over...just baste them with some points of glue all around the edges and let it loose. The 'reinforcement cloth' on backside can be thoroughly glued by using a 'glue gun'.
Fifth tip: to help sewing procedure 'basting of seams' beforehand would help a lot. Similar of what a tailor does with the difference we use 'reference notches' to be joined with 'medium duty staples' easy to remove after the sewing.
Sixth tip: the use of glue to keep down and give shape to the seams before sewing the french seams on top...it really makes this procedure very easy.
I hope this information would help to understand next video when sewing the real cover for my chair.
