So glad to have found you after a number of bum steers! Thanks for these super clear instructions without which my drivers seat seam split would not look as "invisible" as it does now. A four inch split took me about 60 minutes because I had the tools mentioned at hand. And I was able to thread the pigtail into the needle with the tail and then pull both of them under the seam. Thanks for taking the time out to do this and for having the video and audio tech to paint the picture. You're an ace! God bless.
How many people here for car seats?.lol
I was hoping there would be an easy way out like buying a sewing machine for it lol
Boat seats!

Haaa yep I am
Thank you so much for posting this! My leather couch was coming apart in several places, and you saved me at least $85 (that's what I was quoted for two small tears and one big one....but once I got going I found several other spots coming apart so I'm sure the total would have been much higher). It took me 5+ hours and would have taken a pro a third of that time but I'm so glad I was able to DIY it for about $4 worth of materials. Very grateful for your expertise!
Thanks for posting this. My wife is happy that the seam is fixed.
Fantastic video, zoomed in, clarity, execution, instruction....well done
So nice to see you tackle a project like this yourself. Makes us rookies more confident to give it a go. You guys are always amazing!
Brilliant video , wife been on at me to get someone to repair our seam for ages and after watching i thought id have a go. Managed it fine thanks to this video.
Excellent! Good job.
I had a go at this on an armchair I was given which had over a foot of split seam, the result was perfect - you can't tell there was ever an issue. Thanks!
Good job!
Best guide to this I've seen on TH-cam. I now feel confident about attempting this repair on my leather car seat!
Also love the enthusiasm and personality 🙌
I’m so glad to hear that you found the guide helpful! Best of luck with the repair-your leather seat will thank you!
What a fantastic video. I did not think a couch seam could be repaired that way. Thanks for making that video.
That’s what I call relaxing on the job. Thank you for the lesson
Your welcome!
Thank you, Eric. The close-ups were helpful to understand how it is done. The speed was good, so I did not have to rewind. Your video met my goal of learning how to repair a broken seam in a leather seat.
Glad you liked it!!!
Going back over the seam again so that the leather has thread on the back side between every stitch hole on each side will keep the gapping to a minimum. Also, instead of trimming the pigtail of the existing thread, wrap it several times around the new thread before pulling it back down under the seam. That way the entire pigtail will be preserved and limit the possibility of the knot coming undone, especially if the knot winds up being two half-hitches instead of a full square knot.
Great suggestions. Thanks!!!

Do you have a video for this process?
Nobody will bother doing that. Don't you know how to sew with two needles? Perfect finish and yes pull the tail under the seam 👍
@@angelinaphillips2165 I do 🙂
Thank you for this video!!! I was able to repair 2 large seams on my leather couch with your help! Greatly appreciated!
You're welcome! I'm glad I could save your couch from falling apart. Now you can relax in style without worrying about any more "seams-ingly" impossible repairs!
Thanks! Just fixed my sofa with the help of this instructional video.
Great videography. Superb camera. clear. excellent lighting, fantastic audio. professionally done. Good scripting. thanks
Wow, that is quite a compliment! Thanks!!!
Thank you! Easy to understand. Was able to fix my couch.
I'm glad the video was helpful to you!
This video helped me repair my leather couch, thank you!
Wow this is great, it taught me a lot! Now for two tips to make it even better/ even less traceable:
#1- You can take an electric hair clippers, and glide it over those little free strands, which will probably cut them off.
#2- You can find some leather/ vinyl (or even acrylic paint, if you insist on not buying the former), and paint those little strands, along with painting that whole slit/ seem.
or
#3- Do BOTH, and it will really and fully disappear even up close!
This Video is extremely helpful . Thanks for making this tutorial.
This video was very helpful and it saved me a lot of money.
Your voice is perfect for making these videos! I too have learned a lot from Sailrite videos
This worked great for repairing the seat on my Harley Davidson. Thank you very much!
Super helpful, was able to repair my couch. Thank you!
Our leather couch was just about giving up on one of it's seams: a couple centimeters hole had already appeared. With the instructions given on this video I was able to fix it myself. Great job, very illustrative material! Thank you from Finland! :)
Glad to help!
BRAVO! By far the best video I’ve ever seen and I made mistake of not using the thread recommended and what I did use out of my sewing box unraveled and broke pretty quickly. That said, I got the upholstery thread by Coats & Clark and it is FABULOUS. Followed the video closely and I have a repair that looks like a professional did it. THANK YOU!!!!!!
You are welcome! Good job!!!!
Just followed this to repair a pontoon boat seat. Worked like magic
Hail Eric.
Those little treads-can be fragile
All the best neal sw fla
That's awesome to hear! I'm glad the repair method worked for you. Keep enjoying your pontoon boat!
Excellent job photographing this. Great detail
Super helpful for fixing a leather car seat, even with part of the seam buried in a deep crack. Followed directions exactly!
Good job! Thanks!
thank you for the great tip i will sureley get my supplies off sailrite !!
Great technique. I’m here because I want to learn. I’ve been experimenting with leather and fine it rewarding. ❤
Thank you for your kind comment! We appreciate your enthusiasm for leather working and we're glad to provide you with helpful techniques.
It’s very exciting and the learning curve is huge which I love about it too.
Thanks for the instructions! Your video was clear, concise, and easy to follow.
Thanks!!!
So satisfying to watch and now ill be able to fix my couch. Thanks from New Zealand!
Glad you liked it!
great job dude i know how much patience you need for that
I restitched the seams on my convertible top. It's VERY hard to pick the needle through 3 layers of rubberized canvas. I would recommend a good pair of gloves, thick nylon UV resistant thread, a pair of needle nose pliers, and extra needles (you are going to break them)
Thanks for the demo. I would've never know about the Curved Needle. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome! Thanks for liking this video.
This video was really helpful, thanks. I repaired my sofa last night and I was very happy with the results. Wish I could attach the pics. Thanks again.
Glad we could help. Share your latest DIY masterpiece on Facebook or Instagram using #Sailrite
That's the second time I used this video to mend my couch. Much appreciated.
Glad we could help!!!
Its 1:30 am. Got hit with that "wonder how to sew stuff" urge and just clicked on this so now i know how to repair and open seam on a couch lol
Haha, the late-night sewing urge strikes again! Now you're prepared for any couch emergencies in the future.
Nice job. Will be happy to have you on a hiking trip, incase I need stitches tied on a wound.
Well, I hope you don't need any stitches, but if you do, I'll make sure to tie them with style!
thanks appreciate sharing your expertise
Very good tutorial! It helped a lot. Thank you!
Thank you for this! very good tips and well explained instructions. Now I can repair our chair. :)
Thanks, excellent job and camera work.
I appreciate your kind words, glad you enjoyed the video!
Good job....patience is the word. Thanks for sharing.
Well DONE And the Macro Video work was GREAT
Thank you for saving me so much money!!!
Awesome! Ripped 2 inches at the seam of my sofa while moving today and "Thanks to your clip" i can repair it myself. Hopefully...
We are glad we could help. Good luck with the repair.
Thank you. I am ready to try it now!
Thank you for this video, helped me repair my leather chair.
Glad we could help.
Thanks for the lesson. I'm off to try it on our leather boat seats!
great job...ignore the insecure people who always find critical crap to say.
You are the creative and brilliant Sailrite team

Learned so much
8:06 as you are pulling on that thread, tuck and poke that fluff back down under the leather, so it does not show like his does 8:11 8:20
Really useful video, very well filmed and clearly explained. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!
Thanks!
Very detailed work，nice👍
Thanks , this really helped.
this has helped me a lot, thanks fella
You should of used a finer needle, and you need to start 1 stich behined where you did, you also made too many holes in it so it looks messy, you also pull it tight as you go. I did this kind of work for 45 years.
Thank you! I have the exact same problem with a black couch.
Love your private theatre, .Thanks for the great how to video.
Thank you
I like the camera positioning 👍
good job
Hey Eric - Funny Story I was looking up how to fix my expedition car seat and then there you are on the screen. It has been a long time. Miss you old friend you were a major positive factor in my life back in the DR. God Bless. Jeremy P
Jeremy, Wow what a small world we live in! I hope things are going well for you and your family. God Bless, Eric
How many people here are getting paid because of a quick repair like this ☝️ ?
Thank you, you just saved us "$300" and a couple days without our ottoman
Very good. I love Sailrite videos, learned a lot from you guys. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome!
Thank you! This video was a couch saver
Glad it helped!
Thank you from Romanian🙏💝🌈🥂
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I recycled some old spider wire braided fishing line for thread. That's good for an extremely strong repair.
Very helpfull. Can save you a lot of money. And is environment friendly. Otherwise buying a new bank. Greetings from Amsterdam.
Going to try this on my couch
Thank you! Not a sexy job, but so valuable to see how a pro approaches it. Now, out to my ripped car seat seam...!
Great instruction! Thank you.
Your welcome!
Thank you for this video, good job!

With dab brown paint on thread. I would spray piece foam cut sharply to point and finish job. If you had adhesive remover to wipe any left over paint your set.
excellent tutorial...A++
Glad you liked it!!!!
Great tutorial. Now I can fix that tear before it all unravels!
Very helpful. Thank you!
Glad we could help!
I hear you make excellent heavy duty sewing machines
Yep, here is a link: www.sailrite.com/Sewing-Machines/Portable-Heavy-Duty-Sewing-Machines
Thank you so much. 🤗
Your welcome!
Seems like some tape would be useful for holding down the tails until you're ready to tie them off.
I would have used a smaller needle, pushed the fuzzies down and pulled both new and old thread together finishing the run at both ends.... Nice job though.
Sir, thank you so much
Lastly I would recommend running a lighter over the seam. It will melt the fuzz sticking out. Should look cleaner.
Use an ice pick if you can find one. It makes the hole bigger so that the needle goes in easier. You can also use wax on the needle. That is what we used to do in the shop.
Great suggestion.
How to fix broken armrest couch?
Can u help me?
Nicely done 👍🏻
How can we stitch tears not at the seam though? Do we use the same needle and technique?
Thanks a lot, this is just what I needed.
Nice job, am going to try to sew my car seat using your technique
Great! Thank you 😊
Thanks a lot -- I fixed my (fabric) sofa today, following your instructions! Very easy.
Great video! But unfortunately my recliner arm rest has a ripped under which is a little visible but hard to sew . :(
Easy, same process just just pliers 👍
No clear nail polish on knots before tucking them or liquid glue...
Sir might it be good to just leave thread on needle for knots on each end, just a thought
Great job...
Wonderful!, your are a great professor, thank.
Glad you liked it!!!
Is there another way to close it if I don’t have the old thread to make a knot with?
Not that I know of, sorry. But I think I would remove some of the intact threads to make loose ends of the old thread.
Good info, and thanks for using enough resolution that we could see the steps clearly
You are welcome!
how deep do I need to go on the leather? Do I need to use a curved needle? It seems easier to just go in and out of the hole straight rather than trying to hook under the leather
I think a curved needle is better, but it can be done with a straight needle. No rules for this just do what works best for you!
