I have watched this video about 6 times now. The concepts that you have imparted have been fabulous, it's been like a college course. I'm not in a position to buy Sailrite fabric from the source, but I have patronised a local supplier and now me and my 1930's manual Singer are ready to reupholster my 27 year old cruiser's seat with confidence! Your video is amazing and very very appreciated. Thank you from Me, in the UK.
thank you for this video.... I am recovering my own motorcycle seat. I have learned alot just from this video never having done anything like this before
Thank you for this great vídeo!!! Even though english is not my first language it was easy to understand becouse the skills of the narrator!, now I am closer to my first upholstery job. Greetings to you all from Oaxaca México!!!!
Thank you for this instructional video! It really gave me the confidence to go ahead with my reupholstery project. The main mistake I made was not making the boxing wide enough to accommodate proper stapling later, which is something you warned about.

beautiful ... earlier, i had used plastic buttons (which eventually get distorted due to heat under sun ... the buttons further tend to tear the fabric at the edges) to pull down the fabric ... your FABRIC PULL concept has solved my problem !!
We used an electric staple gun Duo-Fast EIC-3118 Electric Stapler. However you can use staple gun that operates on compressed air. You can use standard 3/8" crown staples for the gun of your choice. I would try to purchase only stainless steel staples for any type of outdoor project. I am not sure where to buy them in the UK. Sailrite does ship to the UK.
Great job. Well explained. If I could make one suggestion. I've learned lessons about using a Sharpie marker or even an ink pen, It can and will bleed over time and be seen on the top surface. Try using a Stabilo pencil. Its an artist pencil and leaves no markings like chaulk does. It cleans off easy with water or a damp rag. Give it a try. Great videos, the best I've seen anywhere.
Well, cool, Sailrite is just down the road. I thought the old barn was cool but I guess they got all big and fancy! Kidding. Rebuilding several 30-40 year old motorcycle seats and will give this fabric a try. Obviously more than sails here nowadays. Thanks for the video.
I had no luck with that exact stapler and bought a pneumatic. Redoing the first one with this material too because I like the look and yes I can sorta sew.
I had this done in Tijuana, Mexico. They changed me $35 US and came out very good. ...not great, but very good. When the boss wan't looking I gave the employee that actually did the work an additional $35. So for $70 everyone was happy. Next time I may try it myself.
~ANGELA~ Not Only Needs a RAISE!... But an ELECTRIC STAPLE Gun Too...LOL...hope your blisters healed well... LOL This Was an AWESOME Video... I had such a HARD TIME replacing the Vinyl seat on my Scooter a couple of years ago that I got so discouraged( I ended up making a rinky-dink outer fabric bogus cover) BUT Now that I saw this TUTORIAL (and the Color "PURPLE") The Sky's the LIMIT!!! OHHH YEAAHHH!! Thank-You I TRULLY Enjoy Every Video Tutorial You make. LUV IT!! TFS

I am looking for the perfect material to wrap car interior with and it will be my first time. I am planing on wrapping every part of the car. This is most likely going to be a '02 and up crown victoria and the reason for I am changing the color of the interior and I don't want it to be with cheap paint. I also want the material to have thick deep grain and have a luxury feel or at least a nice feel. I hope you see my comment and give me input
How can I get THAT same seat cover complete except all blacl? I have the same seat. No sewing machine but i got a staple gun. Please sew one up for me and I'll buy it!
Just received my material from Sailrite... ordered the 4 way stretch to cover a motor cycle seat... wish me luck..great price on the fabric by the way... and thank thank you for your tutorials makes the job a lot easier when you have something to reference. Question? I have a Husqvarna Designer SE do you think I can sew this seat with this machine...I purchased leather needles and thread from you also... Great work Angela.... and ouchy your poor hands using a mechanical staple gun...
Lynn Berg Hi, Many of our customers use home sewing machines to sew this type of project. So it is highly possible that your sewing machine can do it. But machines performance can vary greatly, so you will need to test it out.
Reversing at the end and beginning of your sewing locks the stitch in place. If that were not done, you may find that the thread comes out from the ends when under any stress.
Hi, thanx 4 so detailed video. Just one doubt here: would not the rainwater go though the unsealed sews straight to the foam, and make it wet, causing the rider's ass get wet too..? And even more: how would the moisture go out the foam..? Is not it the reason to keeping the bike seat cover one piece..? May be wrong, but do not like to have any moisture (domestic or outside) near my bottom ;)
I'm in the process of making a motorcycle seat cover. The old material I used stretched two ways. The new material only stretches one way. Should I put the stretching side sideways or longways?
I would place the fabric's stretchy direction sideways, since the contour of the seat may require the fabric to be pulled down more in that direction. However, that depends on the seat's shape as they all differ slightly.

Allsport fabric does have good stretch in all 4 directions, we used a PTFE thread (Tenara brand) for the video which does not stretch. However, PTFE threads never rot in the sun, but are expensive and tricky to sew with. I recommend using a V-92 Polyester Thread. I too will not stretch much, but as you can see that does not hurt the application we sewed in this video.
Seems like so many possibilities for screw-ups. I think stretchiness would make me MORE anxious. My opinion is that welting would make it both easier to do and more attractive. I could be wrong!

Do you need to moisturise the vinyl fabric? And if you want to clean, refurbish it. What product do you recommend? Cheers
We recommend this product for vinyl fabric: www.sailrite.com/303-UV-Protectant-16oz
What does reversing at the start and end of the stitch do? Secure the thread?
Reversing at the end and beginning of your sewing locks the stitch in place. If that were not done, you may find that the thread comes out from the ends when under any stress.

We could do that easily with the LS-1 Basic sewing machine.

Привет с Украины.Хорошая робота!
Where can I find a local upholstery place that uses this material?
+Eliazer Rodriguez Hi, you would have to call around to see if they use it. If they do not you can just tell them to purchase it from Sailrite.

What is the size of those staples?
***** The depth of the staple is 3/8"
How much does it cost to have this done to the same seat
Sailrite supplies the materials and tools for DIY, sorry we do not do custom upholstery.
Hey may sheet cover chup can you help me please
nice
check the tension of your thread,it's a important thing,other than that,amazing job!
So very true! Thanks!
I wish there was a better way to do the stitch that ties the thread in, cause i can see everyone and to me doesn't look good.
Maybe this video will help on mastering thread end tie offs: th-cam.com/video/fTT3bx4vCJ4/w-d-xo.html

Dios mío,mis ojos...
What size needle are you using?
انا سروجى سيارات ومتسكلات بالكامل وبعرف ونفسى اشتغل معاكو وابعاعملتلكو صور لشغلى سوا سيارات أو متسكلات
didn't like the front part of the seat stitching. Thread was hanging out a bit
Never make a Lock stich on the topside. Pull the toptread Down trough the fabric and use instant glue to secure it underneath.
Good suggestion for a better look. Thanks!!!
