I am all over the place asking for your help, Willie; and it seems I need your help again. I had to trim all four sides of the top and bottom panels for my buttoned rectangle cushion. That means I lost the part where I backstitch the seams. Now, I am trying to figure out how to secure those stitches. They will be in the half inch seam overlap for the top-to-side and bottom-to-side seam overlaps but I still worry about them. I am considering using leather cement for all of these seams but I do not want to go forward until I know what I should do to secure the stitching. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

That's so kind Darryl. Thank you!

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker I will try to give that much every time I have to ask for help. I am on Social Security or I would give more because,Willie, I would be lost without your help.

@waterboy8999 2 года назад

Looking good. You don't need to use a needle just pull the bottom thread and you'll get a loop to pull through.

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker 2 года назад

Depends how far you sewed and where you want the knot. But yes if you plan ahead you can skip the needle. Best

@norcalnewsnetwork Год назад

One thing I've noticed is DIY'ers do not have the correct size staples. That is always good to highlight, especially for a bar stood.

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Год назад

It's true, many people start out with T50 staples instead of fine wire upholstery staples. Thanks

@doohwang818 Год назад

Where i can buy magnetic guides? Thanks also you did amazing job!!😮

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Год назад

You can find magnetic guides at Sailrite.com I especially recommend the 5-1/2" long guide SKU: 103597 Thanks!

@SoapGypsy 2 года назад

What is that little curved attachment to the right of the sewing foot? Looks like a half moon sewing guide of some kind. Did that come from sailrite?

@1979augistine Год назад

Amazon has them just a magnetic sewing guide that are 5 to 10 dollars they all the same wherever you buy them from

@kwang950 2 года назад

What’s brand of your sewing machine did you used. Im after to buy one

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker 2 года назад

Hi Nattanun, The sewing machine is a Sailrite Leatherwork walking foot machine. You can find more information at Sailrite.com Good luck!

@BamBam-pk3yw Год назад

Hi, I want to know if this machine can use #23 needle

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Год назад

No, max needle size is 22. But there's no need to go above a #20 with this machine, because it maxes out with 92 weight (Tex 90) thread. Thanks

@gerardo2131954 4 месяца назад

How does it sew with foam?

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker 4 месяца назад

It would do 1/4" scrim foam ok, but the presser foot doesn't lift very high. Max it will sew is about 5/16" compressed thickness.

Hi do you take custom orders? if so how do i get in-touch with you?

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker 2 года назад

Sorry, I don't do upholstery orders. But the good news is you can describe what you want to a professional upholsterer using videos like these. Show them the video and give detailed description of what you want. Good luck!

How much cost for this walking foot machine

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker 6 месяцев назад

You can research price here... www.sailrite.com/leatherwork-compact-leather-sewing-machine or compare it to a popular industrial walking foot that can sew thicker material... amzn.to/48RZRWi Good luck.

@michaelpcooksey5096 2 года назад

So are you still monitoring this 2021 video comments section? I discovered the base material of my kitchen stool is a piece of fine 'grain' particle board. Have you any experience substituting it for more sturdy material? The hardware mounting screws were pulling out hunks of the old board as they became use over time and I am reluctant to simply use it again. Simple plywood looks like the edges can't be trusted.

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker 2 года назад

Hi Michael, particle board actually works okay for stool seat bases. I've found particle board in original Stickley chairs. Plywood is even better. I usually buy plywood from a hardwood retailer for better quality. Best of luck.

@michaelpcooksey5096 2 года назад

@@TheThoughtfulWoodworker Thank you very much for the comeback. I had hoped with your shop equipment and presentation manner that you might know. I realized this morning [guardian angel at work] if I simply flipped the particle board over and used the other side my concern about edge deterioration would no longer apply. My chair had a rim roll of welting and the mfg stapled it VERY close to the edge. I am wondering if the welting is actually required. It gives a nice edge, but I am planning to use the solid thick tacks instead of staples and am afraid it will break out the wood. I have T50 and T25[for round elec wire] hand staplers but doubt if they are strong enough to penetrate the wood properly.

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker 2 года назад

@@michaelpcooksey5096 Edge roll is usually optional, as long as there's something to pad the wood. I've never had very good luck with manual or electric staplers, but they work in a pinch. Pneumatic staplers, especially fine wire upholstery staplers are preferred if you're doing much upholstery work. For one or two projects a year, just use whatever you have. Best

@TheThoughtfulWoodworker 2 года назад

Hi Wendy, that's a pair of small magnetic edge guides. They're the generic version, but Sailrite sells a long magnetic edge guide that's better. Best

@dannyl2598 2 года назад

You may find that the platform of your sewing machine has one or two empty screw holes near the needle, these are for attaching an assortment of things such as edge guides. Just don't use long screws that could interfere with the machine.
