Thank you again Cechaflo, and for detail of the video in the description below, you are are great teacher and a meticulous craftsman. I hope your family and your people are safe at this time. Best wishes from Scotland.
I was looking at a 77 Corvette I acquired and want to change the interior color. Through a couple of refinements on searching out the subject, this video came up...The method used is something I like. I have never done work like this at all but I am the type of person to break it down and perfect each step. Judging by this video I know it's going to take me a LOT of time to learn and accomplish this goal. I feel like I could make a Ferrari-like interior after watching this. P.S. I noticed you had wrapped that chair's legs with black(red stitch), nice! Excellent work and thank you for this lesson.
Any 'elastic thin cloth' could be useful. Some foams come already bonded with a thin cloth as backing material. Car headliner foamed material are stretchy and could be useful.www.joann.com/headliner-utility-fabric-54in-gray/3496064.html
Dear Darianne, my scissors are 8 inches long. Not a special trade mark. Some tailors and seamstresses use it. If you are looking for something special I would recommend Solingen scissors. I am after one of those. www.germanysolingen.com/germany-solingen-scissors/tailor-scissors.php www.ebay.com/bhp/solingen-scissors
You are referring to the 'Vnotcher' to mark the 'reference points'. I did it out of a pair of glass pliers. We could find it on ebay different designs:www.ebay.com/itm/Ear-Notcher-V-Cut-Shaped-Aluminium-with-Gauge-6-Medium-/273153996430?_ul=DO

Hello cechaflo, ...your skills are amazing!. I am just starting out doing upholstery and learning from you, you are a true master of design, you inspired me to get started as i have been wanting to do this for many years. What kind of foam backing are you using if i can ask please? Do you order it from the internet? Thank you for your great videos!
Hello, Upholstery standard foams are polyurethane material and come in three densities: light, medium, and hard. Most common foams are sold in sheets/slabs according to thickness (1/4", 1/2", etc.) A 'medium density foam' is useful for car seats (to foam the cover, pleats, etc.). A layer of thin light foam could also be used on top to add softness in case of cushions. A hard foam would be useful as a base. www.sailrite.com/Fabric-Backed-1-2-Sew-Foam-58 This video clearly explains about densities of standard foams: th-cam.com/video/BFK0o9W-loE/w-d-xo.html Please, check this supplier:www.albrightssupply.com/Poly-Foam-Rolls-1-2-x-24-x-30-p/polyr12x24.htm
Caesar, Another great video as usual 👍 Why didn't you roll that steel bar along the stitched then glued ends? Much smoother than using the hammer and easy to press down while rolling it along.
Those are just 'v notch pliers' to mark the 'reference points' to ease the sewing procedure the of two pieces of leather. Those are of my own design. Please, check this link:www.google.com.mx/search?q=v+notch+pliers&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiB8rvvqMrYAhWEQCYKHQJ1DNsQ_AUICigB&biw=1536&bih=759#imgrc=5NyWcpzz0GU_OM:
Thank you, my question also. I purchased a pair of sheet metal notchers but the opening is too small to slide fabric or leather into. Will try your recommendation!
What is that stretchy material you are using to back that foam and leather? My local supplier sells a foam called scrim that comes in different thicknesses that already has the material backing. We glue it to the back of every pattern piece before assembly it helps add that little extra plush feel to every panel piece plus gives more life to the old seat cushions.
Greg Nokes we buy the scrim foam also but we don’t glue it we just see it around the pattern and then cut the extra... the reason is because when U glue the pattern to scrim foam u don’t let the material stretch without the scrim foam having to come with it. It’s hard to explain but just try it you will notice the difference.
Bob Womble, in another vídeo, César explained that other master trimmers also thought that leather should not be glued to the foam, as Brent Parker explains: "Because leather is generally stored rolled up or folded, it needs to be stretched out, flattened and worked onto a job to get its wrinkles and creases out. If you glue it to foam, you’re essentially gluing those creases and wrinkles in place" You can read about it and other advices in the link that César provided:: www.thehogring.com/2015/02/23/10-tips-to-take-your-trimming-to-the-next-level/ I have tried to glue completely the cover to the foam or simply placing some points of glue, and it works much better following César advices ;-)
Great, Question the glue you are using is it just everyday contact cement ? glass jar better for storage than the can ? Once again your video's are great !

@Cechaflo : Can you explain for me about the effect of Walking Foot, In which case we can use it? I really need your answer, thank you and sorry for my bad English
To do upholstery a 'walking foot sewing machine' is much better to sew heavy materials in an easy way. If you get a walking foot machine you could use it the whole time. Please, watch these videos : th-cam.com/video/V-QjJgJKKVM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xIgpz1oQlpk/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again, i have a Sunstar 340BL machine but it lost Walking foot, i never saw it so so hard to find another one to replace, so i must use normal foot like non stick - foot, it's work wellfor some product like motorcyle, truck's seat cover but when i do ulpholstery something more detail like car seat cover i think it's not beauty like yours. If you have some experience about this machine can you show me some type of Walking foot i can use. Many thanks again and again
On this video instead of drawing a line to stitch on put masking tape on your table measuring half inch from the right of the needle so you don’t have to always draw your line
As I am located in Mexico I have never heard about 'helmiprene glue'. I use a 'yellow glue/contact cement' which comes in cans or bottles. Most of the upholsterers, shoemakers and leather artisans use it.

Cechaflo thanks for the reply and the great videos. I am in Canada and will have to get a can from home depot and try that out.Helmiprene is a glue that comes in a big bucket and needs to be thinned with thinner and sprayed through a gun... I have had no luck with it, it always cloggs the sprayer and hard to get a nice spray. I am just learning though could be the gun.

Awesome video!!! Thank you very much, César, for these advices, and I am absolutely sure that they will help me really a lot to improve my work. I don't have a skiving machine, but I will try to skive a little bit of the foam that will be in the French seam area to reduce the bulk. Your leather tutorials are really a work of art, and you are an extremely patient and detailed master trimmer. Thanks again!! :-)

Thank you !

Awesome videos man. I'm looking forward to seeing more tutorials on sewing curved leather seams.
What size thread?!
You don't need to worry about stupid music or excessive talking with Cechoflo. ♡♡♡♡♡
What thread is close size 00??
A thin thread 92 size (number 8 in Mexico) for the closing sewings and 138 size( number 0) for the top stitches.
You are good man the way how you teach people's and you show the right way and every thing you kno
I'm glad to share some of my upholstery knowledge.

When you reference "elastic cloth" what kind of cloth should one ask for? Is it like a stretch weave polyester or a spandex?
Any 'elastic thin cloth' could be useful. Some foams come already bonded with a thin cloth as backing material. Car headliner foamed material are stretchy and could be useful.www.joann.com/headliner-utility-fabric-54in-gray/3496064.html
