Technique #1002 (fold it in half) simple but effective, I would never have thought of that 👌
Hello The old, Yep, keep it simple always... Hehe. Please keep liking and watching!
Rudy your amazing with your technics. Don't know how you remember them. great work.
Hello Leo, Thank you so much for saying so. Remember, the number of the technique is not that important. What to know is that the lower the number, the more important it is! Please keep liking and watching!
I always wanted to learn this technique, it is amazing what you do. If there was a trophy for the best upholstery, it would be yours. Thanks for sharing this Roudolph the Mas ter :)
Hello Massoud, You are so welcome! Stop it I'm blushing! Hehe Please keep liking and watching!
EXACTLY the kind of video I need to see! 25+ years ago I bought an upholstery sewing machine, figured out how to work it, and did an acceptable job re-upholstering my boat. The boat is now long gone, but I have 17 other cars of my own. I'm just a hobbyist. My friends accuse me of running an indoor junk yard. I need new Jeep seats for my 1986 CJ7. It suddenly dawned on me I still have the upholstery sewing machine. Since I did the boat, there is now RUclips, Ebay, Amazon, etc so I'm learning all there is to know about my sewing machine, and I need to learn how to fix my Jeep seats, which I've been repairing the last few years with pool noodles and duct tape! LOL! So I'm gonna do this right. THANKS for this video and the others like it. You went over a couple of things that I said, "Oh, I remember figuring that out when I did the boat!" I never used glue (didn't know any better). I think I got the foam rubber at Walmart probably. I have learned a LOT and am gonna keep learning from videos like yours! I'm retired, and have no intention of working on anybody ELSE's stuff but it sure will be fun to make my stuff look better!
Sounds like you have some experience. Your next projects will go more smoothly! You better get going on that Jeep!
How did it go? We’d love to see.
I would appreciate a video on the head rests on the video I just wached
how'd it go bud?
Your technique tips have become a large library, numbering into the multiple thousands. And I’m keeping track of them all 😃

Hello Manuel, Keepin' it in the family! Please keep watching!
Thank you for sharing your gift with people like me. Today i can't even thread a sewing machine. Before you finish making videos I hope to have learned enough from you to finish some of my own projects.
Hello Chris, You are so welcome! Remember learning is doing! I am sure you can get through your projects. Remember to finish what you start. Please keep liking and watching!
Thank you so much for inviting me into your shop and the lesson. Just want to learn for my own use.
Hello Cape, I hope my videos can be helpful for you. Remember, learning is doing! please keep liking and watching!
Thank for the tips, I’m currently reupholstering my 1976 ford fairlane here in Australia
You're Welcome! We don't have the 1976 Ford Fairlane here in the US. Yours looks like our Ford LTD's...
I have a 39 Chevy and the back seat is nothing but springs. It would be cool if you could show how to start with just springs and do a complete reupholster. Thanks. Enjoy your videos 👊
Seat springs here: ruclips.net/video/88yfee_O4jY/видео.html And here: ruclips.net/video/LcgFo24oeGU/видео.html And here: ruclips.net/video/MW0gV8op9EY/видео.html You should just subscribe to my channel for many more old school upholstery techniques!

Beautiful craftsmanship Rudolph!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge 👊
Thank you so much for the kind words! And you are so welcome!
Really helpful for me! I have an old British car and your MG seat video and this one were great as my seats are a cross between the two. I had my seats sewn at a shop but I installed/ assembled them myself
Wow! Way to go! That is one great way to have a sense of pride in your workability!
Excellent instructions. Nice and slow, easy to follow. I'm about to embark on reupholstering my 1972 7-seater VW T2 van of which the vinyl covers have pulverised. Cheap white couch real leather available from charity store furniture aplenty. Next step, a heavy duty sewing machine. Your videos inspire me to just go at it.
You are absolutely amazing
Your are a master. If i ever get my act together i will keep you in business 24/7brother. Trust me.
Hello Kevin, It souns like you have something cooking for your future! Please keep watching!

Yep! Trimming off the vinyl, cutting close to the thread on your finished panel. Good ol' Technique #834!
Great instructions, I know this is an old video, but l like the oval window rag top in the background 👍🏼 you do great work and thanks for sharing
Hello Paul, I still have the rat rod '53 VW street rod. Thanks for noticing! Please keep watching!
Спасибо за труд. Прекрасная работа.
The jokes on me!
A tip I learned from wood working was to put my pencil on the mark and move the straight edge to the pencil and it gets your ruler offset perfect, no matter what size pencil or chalk you use
Hi! That is a great tip! After 43 years of doing this, I usually don't have to think about it. It just comes naturally. Thanks for watching!

I wish you were in Arizona. I’d love to work with you on updating the full interior of my small, two-seat sport plane… Bolstered Cushions, Padded Center Armrest with control-stick boot and slightly embossed Side Panels with 3 colors.
Hello Foes, You missed me by only two years. We moved from North Scottsdale. I love doing aircraft and did many around the Phoenix area. Please keep liking and watching
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Can you recommend someone in the valley, preferably Mesa? I was going to use Aviation Creations at Deer Valley airport but he is now busy with expensive corporate jets and has no time for my little plane.
@@foesfly3047 Hello Foes, I did a many in Mesa Falcon Field. Sorry to say that I do not know anybody as I always kept to myself. Please keep liking and watching!
Absolutely precision work. Love watching these videos. I do have a question. I thought you would need some seam allowance to connect the panels. Even a 1/4 inch I thought. They look fabulous so your doing it correctly.
Hello STM, Thank you so much for saying so. I use anywhere between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch depending on what I'm working on. I think I use 3/8" most of the time. Please keep watching!
can you tell me the density of that foam youre using? i heard you say 1/2" thick scrim. but ive seen most upholsterers use a 50 lb on the seat areas and 100 lb in the bolsters. im about to order my foam for my seats ,very soon. i spoke to you yesterday about it. i want to turn a flat old spring seat into a bolstered end almost like like a bucket bench. The springs are very lofty still and i like how the spring seats feel. i just want to use thicker foam on the ends and maybe in the lumbar area for more contour and support. do you have any videos doing something like that? again, thank you very much , I look forward to watching more of your work.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
I can’t help but to wonder what kept you from gluing the entire piece of vinyl to the foam and stitching the pleats then cutting down to size after?
Hello Bill, You are so welcome! I do that sometimes. There is always more than one way do get things done. I have many videos showing me glueing the vinyl directly to the foam. Please keep watching!
Thank you so much for your videos. Amazing! What chalk are you using and where do you buy it?
Hello Jeady, I just use white chalk from my upholstery supplier. Maybe Amazon has it. Thanks for watching!
What is it your comment about "taichi" ? I could not follow you on that specific part of the video.
Good video. Im now subscribed. Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge.
Tai Chi is a mild slow Chinese martial arts exercise. Thanks for commenting!
This is a great channel! So informative, is it possible to make boat cushions with a vintage all metal sewing machine or would I be wasting my time and $$ ?
Thank you for the kind words! An older machine will make your work a little harder and it may take longer for your project, but it could work. You could buy a better machine and then sell it to get your money back after you're finished with it.
Hi Rudolph, great video, one question …. Why didn’t you make the 2” pleats a bit bigger before sewing so that the finished pleat is actually 2” like the original ?
Hi! Thank you! You are right, I add a little bit, 1/4" to the measurement because after the vinyl is added to the foam, there is a third dimension. The result is a finished 2-inch pleat.
Is there room on the sides for margin to sew side panels onto? Just curious as I think I need 3/8" or 10mm to have material for long lasting strong sewn joints to sides. Maybe missing something as I am sewing leather onto custom buckets after welding newer donor seats. Thanks again for an informative video! Regards.
Hello Dean, You are so welcome! I usually leave a 1/4" to 3/8" seam allowance for motorcycle, automotive and most marine jobs. Some marine and furniture are up to 1/2". Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Ok, that sounds perfect as in the video depending on how the panel is used, trimming to the edge of the stitches keeps a flat seam without bunching! Cool.
@@deankay4434 Hello Dean, Yep, you got it! Please keep liking and watching!

Thats great dude, but 3m comes in a can, which is enough for 1 project if I'm going to my own seats.
The can would turn into a rubber eraser before I ever used the rest of it.

How do you choose stitch length? Might be a cool video
Hello Eatn, Really, I think, that a small stitch length would be for a smaller object. A larger stitch length would be for larger objects. That could be short video? Thanks for liking and watching!

Hello Richard. I watched a video that you made a while back where you made new sun visors. Good video, but I haven't been able to source the fiber board that you used. I guess it is a non-corrugated cardboard but I don't know exactly what it is called or where I can find it. I have asked for non-corrugated cardboard or mounting board at Home Depot and they don't seem to know what it is. Please help and give me a name or source for it.I have finished the front and back seat cushions and back rests for my '39 Chevy and now I am working on the side panels that enclose the back seats. But now it is spring and mowing and planting and greenhouse duties are getting in the way. Happy Spring! A great time to be alive. Fred.
Hello Fred, I love hearing good news like this. For visors, I use chipboard, and for side and door panels, I use waterproof panel board. Both are available at any good upholstery supplier. Just Google "Upholstery supplier near me". Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Thank you. The back seat that I just finished really does look nice. Everything nice and straight and all of the stiches locked down. I remember your story about the first car you had and you did the upholstery on it and after the seams went loose. I will check for an upholstery supplier in St. Paul, Mn, about 30 miles from my home in Wisconsin. I will keep watching and liking. Fred.
@@whiteyfarm Hello Fred, Right on! Right on. I am so happy you can learn from my first mistake. All of your future projects will now be better than mine! Hehe.
Does the foam that is used for the pleating have to have scrim on the back, or can it just be foam on both sides?
Hello Big, I use the standard scrim backed foam 1/4" and 1/2" on one side. Please keep liking and watching!
What kind of machine you recommend for a beginner in upholstery ?
Hello PL, Any industrial sewing machine with reverse, a walking foot and a welt foot will do nicely. Please keep liking and watching!

Hello Tony, I would get a sewing machine with a walking foot, reverse and a welt foot. After that you can sew just about anything. I think you will be just fine, just don't quit. Thanks for watching!
Do you have any recommendations for an inexpensive sewing machine that i can use for upholstery?
Hello Beetle, Really, any new or used industrial sewing machine with a reverse, a walking foot and a welt foot will do. Please keep liking and watching!
@@oldschoolautoupholstery Wow! Thanks for the quick reply! Was that pro tip number 4067??
@@beetlebuilder5882 Hello Beetle, You are so welcome! You were close enough. That would be technique #73. Remember the actual number of the technique is not what's important, really the lower the number, the more important it is. Please keep liking and watching!
Isnt there a formula to calculate shrinkage for pleats?
Hello Coodeville, My formula is to make samples. Not rocket science. Haha! Please keep liking and watching!
where do you get the new seat covers i want to get leather seat covers for my 81 caberallo
Hi, Because of the year and make, I would think that you would need someone or an upholstery shop to make the seat covers up for you.
Try getting a LMC truck Catalog
Very interesting except for the mistake witht he pleating and you didn't show us the most awkward part, stitching all the parts together?
