I'm going to use 1/2" padded pleats for center pannels that run horizontal. There's a fabric pull at chest height. That pull line is the seam I will transition to 2x2 diamonds that taper out to the shoulder area .... hard to describe what I see in my head. But it looks good to me. Thanks for the videos. These have inspired me to buy sewing machines to pursue a new career. From mechanic to upholstery. Looking for a new head to purchase. I have an older juki Lu563-3 no reverse. It's a bit worn but it does pretty good. A consew 255rb is in my sights.

@4speed3pedals 5 месяцев назад

Automobile, I would never own a boat which some refer to as a large hole in the water in which you place all your earnings. Love watching your videos and only recently discovered them. I find them very educational and encouraging. I hope to get a new Consew 1260RB-1 for my auto rebuild project. My dad used to do auto upholster, and learned furniture upholstery and how to build furniture from scratch back in the 1930's. For recovering a seat, he would use a soap stone, lay the cloth, usually Naugahyde, over the seat, mark it out on where to make cuts using a series of properly placed dashes, take it inside, cut sew and then come out and recover with hog rings. He knew how to put all the piping and the lasts and whatever else in and rarely did he have to cut and resew. I wish I would have been more interested when I was young. He did it so quickly that I just accepted it and thought I would rather turn wrenches. I think I really missed the boat. He worked at GM Fisher Body from 1935 to 1970 and most of his tenure was in the foreman capacity. Thanks for posting videos. Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! Thinking about how he would wood reupholster furniture with tacks and a tack hammer, placing a bunch of sanitized tacks in his mouth and us the magnetic end of the hammer to start the tack, turn it around and hammer it in. Staples would never have been used in those days and some tacks had really fancy heads used on some upholstery, exposed tacks often times were made of brass. I wonder if sanitized tacks are still available and also how he didn't impale his mouth with the tacks.

@oldschoolautoupholstery 5 месяцев назад

Hello 4speed, I am so glad you found my channel. Thanks for hanging in there with me. They thought the Naugahyde was going to be discontinued until another island was discovered with wild an rapidly producing Naugahs. Hehe! Oh, those wonderful memories. Tack and hog rings in the mouth. Metal taste. Get on that Consew, make something, maybe a lot of money. Please keep liking and watching!

@joewolf4483 5 месяцев назад

Great video ... with your vast experience how do you keep track of the bobbin thread when your doing a big project with long stitch runs?

@oldschoolautoupholstery 5 месяцев назад

Hello Joe, Thank you so much for saying so. Well, when I'm very focused on my sewing, sometimes it's just a feeling I get to check the bobbin. A lot of the times, I'm surprised that I checked just in time before it ran out. Sometimes, I will just run out without warning. But most of the time, I just check it often and especially if I am going to be doing a top stitch. Please keep liking and watching!

@Vladviking 5 месяцев назад

It's not too critical on small pieces but if you're going across the back of a seat especially a bench seat you have to calculate in for loss of material from the pleats or you'll be short when it comes to sewing it into your side panels. At 1/8 seam allowance your losing a 1/4+ inch per pleat. I'm not good at math so I just give enough to make one or two extra pleats balance it to the pattern and trim back what is needed. I wasted mine on an RV.

I've watched and liked several of your videos now. I am brand new at this and looking to buy a machine and make my own upholstery for my 1967 C10 pick up bench seat. I want to put fabric inserts in the seat separated by a middle vinyl piece and vinyl along the sides and vinyl skirts of course. Can I use material inserts without putting in pleats? Would it be better, like more durable to have pleats? If so should I use padded or non paded pleats? Thanks for your help with these questions and your great videos.

@oldschoolautoupholstery 12 дней назад

Hello Actor, You are so welcome! What you described are classic old school truck seat upholstery. I have a few videos about exactly this. I would use 1/2" scrim foam to sew in the pleats. Pleats do keep everything together nicely. However, I have done it both with and without pleats. Please keep liking and watching!

@@oldschoolautoupholstery thanks for the reply would you have any pics of old truck bench seats with and without pleats in the inserts? It took me a long time yo find the fabric for the inserts and I'm scared of screwing it up.

How do you get seat material to match when you may only be upholstering one seat?

@oldschoolautoupholstery 5 месяцев назад

Hello Michael, Matching vinyl's is the easiest because of the many colors and grains. Fabrics are harder to close match. Start by locating an upholstery supplier near you. Please keep liking and watching!

I wanted to do this technique yesterday on a vehicle i am working on, but i gotta figure out the math part on overall width. I just did a standard exposed stich to scrim because it was easier (almost no math Lol) but the appearance of what you showed looks amazing. I am going to do that in the classic van. Btw, i saw that you backstitch at the start, but do you usually back stitch at the end of a run?

@oldschoolautoupholstery 5 месяцев назад

Hello Lynch, I like the idea that you are willing to experiment. That is how we learn. That classic van will be amazing. Keep on truckin', Hehe I didn't bother locking my stitch because this was just a sample. For this type of backstitch, it would be a good habit to lock stitch. Please keep liking and watching!

How many yards of Vinyl do you need for a bench seat?

@oldschoolautoupholstery 3 месяца назад

Hello Miz, You can bring it to me and I can measure it for you. Right! Usually I measure from left to right. A roll of vinyl is usually 54 inches wide. I always add an extra yard so I don't come up short. Please keep liking and watching!

I want to do my 70's boat and I'm building a 55 Chevy that I'd like to do but I have seat covers for it I got with the car. I don't think the color is quite right though so I'd like to do it too. I just found your channel and that's just what I needed. I subbed and liked. Thanks!

Even though these Roll and Pleat samples didn't do a lock stitch i have a question. should every beginning and end of a stitch get 1-2 backstitches and continue forward 1-2 stitches to finish a lock stick when not working on a sample piece? Also are you sponsored or have a referral link for any materials you use so if we want to purchase some for our projects, you get some clicks on links or referral points? Edit: I could use that roll and pleat on a four wheeler or in Datsun

@oldschoolautoupholstery 5 месяцев назад

Hello Tea, Yep your right. no lock stitch on these samples. A good lock stitch is always a good habit. I never beg for sponsors as I pay for everything. I never want to waste my viewer's time with commercials in my videos. My income from videos is supplemented by viewers contributing by hitting the Super Thanks button. For materials, just Google, "Upholstery supplier near me". I use Keyston bros. they have several locations in the USA and they deliver. Go for it on the 4-wheeler or Datsun!

I own a upholstery workshop however I'm not a master in it, i can only do headliners.. bit my dad is working for me and he is a master. I come here to learn from you bc when I ask my dad to teach me something or let me see how something needs to be done he'll always respond with " no time for thst bs "... That's why I'm learning from youtube instead from my master of upholstery dad.. Thank you for learning me that :) Can you record a movie for me like the basic technics on how to measure and sew vinyl or textile for a car when you doesn't have template? I mean when there is only foam no textil or vinyl at all. Thank you in advance :)

@oldschoolautoupholstery 5 месяцев назад

Hello Azi, I commend your effort to learn. Your already ahead of most people. I do have several videos on my channel about making seat covers without patterns. Feel free to ask questions as you watch. I'll be there for you and I answer every comment. Just go for it. Remember, learning is doing! Please keep liking and watching!
