Lovely! It's so nice to learn from another female upholsterer. I'm new to marine upholstery, so this series has been a great boost in confidence. Thank you!
I am a self taught marine upholstery replacement guy and I find you 3 part series video by far the Best video describing what I do. I recovered my 21' Striper Bowrider, 24' Chaparral and 22' Grady. My current project is a 31' Monterey. Question, the cushion I removed from the Monterey has a very thin layer of foam. The only thing I am finding with the foam is Headliner @ 1/4" thick. The foam you used, you said it has a special backing so the stitches can grab. What is the foam called and is there a specific website you like to order from. I have been using Sailrite. Also, 1/2 way through the last project i got access to a Sailrite industrial sewing machine so I put my Brother Heavy duty home use away and will not go back to it. The Sailrite really made a big difference especially in the corners. Thank You again for the video. If you lived here on Long Island I would pay for a class from you.
Thank you so much!! The foam is often called scrim backed foam and usually comes in a few different thicknesses. I often buy from a foam supplier somewhat local to me. I am in Canada so I can't really help in that dept, but I found foammart.com and upholsterysupplyonline.com and they deliver. You can also double up the foam if you can only find thinner, I've done that a lot. A good machine makes a huge difference doesn't it?!?! A real in person class would be a ton of fun, perhaps an idea in the future. Thank you for the great feedback and good luck with your current and future projects! :)
I'm new to this, getting my walking foot machine in the mail in a few days. I'm going to start my first project on my own pontoon boat. I noticed you didn't steam the foam, is that something I should or shouldn't do ?
Great work and great series of videos. Loved them. Thanks! The old cover had silk poly film between the foam and the cover but you did not use it, wondering why? Also wondering if you like to use a steamer to bring the foam back to life before you apply the cover?
Thank you, I'm glad you liked them! I don't generally use the plastic between the foam and cover, it seems to trap the water inside over time. But it does make installing the cover easier, so when I do use it for install (rarely) I always remove it after. I quite often steam the foam to bring it back to life but I did not on these.

Thank you, that's great to hear. Good luck to you!
You do amazing work. I want to tackle my boat seats but it seems a little daunting.
Thank you. I think you should go for it :)

Thank you
@@j9theupholsterer I really like how you break every video up in parts
@@HeemOfficial Thank you, I like to show most of the process when I can.
You forgot the plastic between vinyl,and foam if you steam the foam it may come back to its original shape. Nice work
I don't generally use the plastic, but I do often steam the foam. Thank you for watching and the feedback :)

Steaming is up to you, if you think it will puff up it's not a bad idea to steam it. I often do it. Good luck to you, and thank you for watching :)
Looks fantastic. Thanks for the tutorial. What foot do you use for the French seam.
You're welcome! I use whatever foot is on my machine at the time for a French seam, I'm not picky.
Wow. You are very talented.
@@debbywright1955 thank you very much :)

Just curious what you would charge for that seat cushion?
Where I am, it's worth around $500 for this cushion. Someone else could charge less or more depending on location and other factors.
What material do you have as the table top? I would guess ABS sheets?
Yes it is abs. 1/8" thick
