I just bought a Adler 67 walking to do my own interior in my fishing boat. I never sewed a day in my life and find it very relaxing I love the challenge. I love your vids ! no back ground music, its quite and simple perfect instruction. I'm blessed to have found you channel ! Thank you for time to create and share and pass on your talent.
I ALWAYS APPRECIATE & LOVE YOUR VIDEOS....JUST THE WAY YOU DO IT....WITHOUT SAYING A WORD! I CLEARLY UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING! YOUR VIDEOS HAVE BEEN SO HELPFUL TO ME. MY TECHNIQUE HAS CERTAINLY IMPROVED BECAUSE OF YOUR INSTRUCTIONS. THANKS CECHAFLO! WHERE ARE THE ONLINE CLASSES?
I really appreciate your kind remarks! Your words encourage me to keep on uploading more upholstery videos! It means, I'm on the right path and I feel so happy by knowing they've been useful to you! To the moment, I only have the youtube videos.
You are the best! No question about it. Anyone who can’t take great info from your videos I don’t know what else they should do. You have the best instruction without saying a word. A question from me that might be long and detailed but I’m experimenting now with making bags (nylon) and (leather) is it best to use close stitches on the first part of flat felled seam then finish with the top stitch on that flat felled seam to spread the stitch out so the thread goes to a different hole from the first stitch of that seam?..... or on leather bags do you only need 1 stitch and no need to flat fell seam because of the leather being a stonger material? (Note that I am using 5oz leather on my bag (2mm) but stacking the leather together can be maybe 3 layers of 5 or 6oz with a totally of possibly 18-20oz of leather with lining. What is he best way to sew these bags with best construction method possible? I know putting multiple holes in leather can weaken it. I can’t really find this info anywhere and you are the best I know even though you are the upholster Jesus. I want to Construct the best strongest stuff possible and know principles can be used from multiples fields in textiles. As always Thankyou for the help. -Greg
Dear Greg, Although I am an upholsterer, perhaps, I could give you some ideas for what you are trying to do. If you are going to use heavy leathers, it means you are going to work in the saddlery field with 'vegetable tanned leathers'. You have in mind to manufacture 'leather bags' which would have a thickness of 6 mm approx. hence the traditional way of sewing thinner leather pieces (1.2 to 1.3 mm thick) will not work out because it would be difficult to fold the seams in order to sew on top the 'flat felled stitches'. IMHO, I think for this kind of job to sew the pieces together a good way would be by attaching the edges together and hand stitch them same way most of leather artisans do it. Another faster way would be the use of a 'super heavy duty sewing machine'...this method would be the best to manufacture the heavy leather bags. I would like to add that 'binding' and 'piping' would also work for these kind of bags. Perhaps I am wrong with my opinion because I am just imagining without examining or having in real one of these items. I have realized to sew leather bags it is advisable a 'cylinder bed sewing machine'. This machine could work as flat bed if a wood table is added. Some of them come with this additament. Therefore you would have two machines in one. th-cam.com/video/n_yBQ_Stk4k/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/GDQ-4Skr2IE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/SYtF8z4KdEY/w-d-xo.html I hope this information helps.

my biggest problem as a beginner is that when I start a stitch I very often get a nest of thread when I start trying to do the lock stitch, also when I reach the end if I stitch beyond the fabric it also causes a mess, though I see you sometime stich past the fabric and cause no issue. Great videos, helped me alot. whats the glue?
Try to check if you're using the appropriate needle for the right size of thread. Some machines also cause this issue when they're out of time. I use a yellow glue most of the upholsterers and shoemakers use it. If you're in USA, please, check: www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-32-fl-oz-Weldwood-Original-Contact-Cement-00272/100125525 www.tandyleather.com/en-usd/home/department/leather-cement-glue/2525-360.aspx www.ebay.es/itm/Petronios-Master-All-Purpose-Cement-Glue-Shoe-Repair-Adhesive-Glue-4-oz-/291064753112
I had the same problem at the begining of my stitch and by sticking a coin down behind the foot with basting tape you can wrap both treads around it before starting the stitch it will keep the thread tight and out of tre way and pull out as you continue to sew
Your videos are so helpful! Thanks for making them! Would this technique work for a curved seam on small leather goods, like a purse? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skill with the world!!
Hello Brandy, Thanks so much for appreciating these videos! Yes, the technique could be applied on small projects. In case of purses, to ease the procedure it would be advisable the use of a 'cylinder bed sewing machine'.
As far as I know, there are three kind of 'staplers' very useful to do basting in upholstery : light duty, medium duty and heavy duty. I bought mine at Home Depot. Johnny, a youtube friend widens some explanation about this matter:th-cam.com/video/X2OHhdZVyFc/w-d-xo.html
To keep an even stitch the keys are a 'low speed' and a 'guide'...in this case my guide is the 'small foot' (open zipper foot with two indents/cuts I did on purpose) which should be aligned with the 'central closing sewing line'...if you watch min 14:31 you would realize I'm 'using' the back protruding part of the foot.
Is there a source to buy the thin cardboard you always use for patterns in Washington State? I have been using drafting paper but it is very thin and hard to pattern with. Thanks for all that you do...
I use plastic type grid paper(plastic tarp), trace with black sharpie and cut following the lines, wont stretch. www.ebay.com/itm/10-x-100-6-Mil-Clear-Nylon-String-Reinforced-Poly-Sheeting/401295498753?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

its a matter of keeping the threads tight at the 1st stich

My biggest challenge is cutting patterns and keeping an even stitch. Any tips?
To keep an even stitch the keys are a 'low speed' and a 'guide'...in this case my guide is the 'small foot' (open zipper foot with two indents/cuts I did on purpose) which should be aligned with the 'central closing sewing line'...if you watch min 14:31 you would realize I'm 'using' the back protruding part of the foot.
hi, how size of needle and stitch you use in video ? NM. 140 ? thanks
Is there a source to buy the thin cardboard you always use for patterns in Washington State?
I have been using drafting paper but it is very thin and hard to pattern with.

Is the piece broken of the walking foot, intentional, Just curious.
It's a 'binding feet' or 'zipper feet'. They come this way. It can also be done intentionaly by using a dremel mototool cutting one of the legs.
