This video shows one way to replicate square channels which come on the classic English car Rover P6 3500 1974 seats.
I have a customer that complains about his owncar seats. He says they are too hard while he is sitting on. To solve this issue, I am testing on this sample a durable high resielence foam. This foam acts as a spring because it recuperates its shape instantly and would last forever. The most important characteristic it is soft enough.
Memory Eva foam would have worked much better to shape the square pleats, but somehow this padding is rigid for long trips.
The foam I am using is 1/2" of an inch thick. To ease the sewing process the cut foam strips are tufted after the cover is finished.
For this demonstration I am using natural automotive leather.
An important tip to stand out is how I inserted in an opening I did in the foam base a 4 mm thick steel wire. A thinner steel wire is housed in a listing bag sewn down on reverse side of the cover. It is hogringed to this thick wire to pull the material downwards and give a curved shape on top view.
The original Rover seats come with fabric strips that cross down through and are fastened to the seat frame. This is a furniture method. Sometimes, it is not advisable on car seats because these pulling strips are suffering tension constantly.
I hope you enjoy and find this video useful!

I could literally watch you for days on end! You are a master at this craft we all enjoy. Thank you for sharing!
UNreal! As someone just getting into upholstery, you have really raised the bar of my expectations
Agreed - possibilities also!
Pa ppppp0
A small challenge for a master!?!
You just can’t beat a older Phaff for the ability to walk the walking foot. My machine looks very similar to yours
Я русский учусь на ваших видео. Больше спасибо. ❤
Yes always brightens my day when I see a new upload thank you
Спасибо, учусь по вашим видео 👍👍👍
Es Ud. en toda la extensión de la palabra un "Artesano". Disfruto ver sus videos, es un deleite visual contemplar toda la enseñanza que trasmite. Saludos
As novice in upholstery I love when I see your longer more in depth tutorials as I know it means I'm going to learn something very useful to try later on. You have helped me improve so much and I thank you!
OLD LEATHER SMITH here. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!! Easy 2 understand 4 any beginner 2 duplicate. You R A Master Sir!!! Our only difference is I Hand sew, I have a machine but have NEVER USED it. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Master Jim, I really appreciate your kind remarks!!!
Car upholstery also involves hand sewing once in a while. ruclips.net/video/NMYlCg1HC48/видео.html

Trop fort maître grand merci
Beautiful!!! It looks super durable too. Hope you guys are doing awesome!! Xoxo
Dear Lynn, Nice to hear from you, again!!! You are always so generous with your commentaries!!!
This is only a training in order to find and test better way to approach a real Rover P3500 1974 car seats my customer has in Victoria, Australia.
Hopefully, he will send the whole car seats down here to Mexico.
The original seat pleats have a kind of felt/rubber like padding. My customer wants something different to make them softer. The foam I tested in this sample is utilized for tennis shoes' insoles. It seems good but I am going to look for something else superior to duplicate the seat covers OEM.
The leather material will be ordered from Wildman & Bugby supplier in the UK:
This is the possible dominant colour in combination with red pipíng: wildmanbugby.co.uk/product/cardinal-barley-whitecream
First quality Tenara thread will be used and will be ordered from Sailrite USA:

Thanks so much for watching the videos!
Would you ever put spider Webb markings on a seat cover??
Super 👍

me encantan sus videos tenia una pregunta yo estoy empezando esta profesión sin zero experiencia acual maquina de coser usted recomiendo que es de mucha aguda ?
Se puede empezar con una máquina de coser casera de costura recta, realizando proyectos sencillos y usando materiales delgados (tela, vinil). Las máquinas simples, de preferencia de fierro se adaptan para que cosan grueso. Esta adaptación consiste en usar una aguna mas gruesa (desde 110=18 a 130=21), se le pone un peine con dientes mas grandes y una placa con el agujero mas grande para que pase la aguja.
Estos videos muestran la adaptación en una máquina de arrastre simple, semi-industrial de costura recta para ropa y zapatería: ruclips.net/video/ZRaoW9kL_oQ/видео.html

Mas adelante lo ideal sería una máquina de piés de presion alternantes de triple arrastre:https: //ruclips.net/video/U3HBXBDDKoo/видео.html
I like this kind of sewing machine
You are muster!!
I couldn’t see the measurements!?! The red stripes! Is the stripes leather??
This sample was done in leather. The width of the channels will be 5 cm wide (final outcome). The same measure marked on the backing fabric.
ruclips.net/video/SRcQma5g1wk/видео.htmlsi=bMccbmGGi48z_4OY&t=258
The measure of channels on the leather is wider. 7 cm wide

What camera are you shooting with?
It is a Canon vixia

Gute Qualität, Danke.
@@olegzw857 Master trimmer Oleg, I also watch your videos once in a while . BTW, excellent jobs.
Greetings from Mexico!
@@Cechaflo
Now another job. But there is material for new videos
This is brilliantly done but better to attach the piping first to the face panel rather than the border . The face panel can get distorted this way.
I have a photo of a diamond design that I’d like to see how you’d tackle it!! 2x3”; I’m trying to figure out how to send it to you!?!

Gooooooooood
Very nice😍👍🔥👏🤝
This is a sample/training of how I would approach 'box pleats' on real car seats of a Rover automobile P6-3500 1074.
Hopefully, I will soon show the process on the real seats.
The work is superb as always, It would be possible to use thick felt instead of foam rubber strips, then there would be no strong folds in the place of tightening, this technology was used in old cars.
Dear friend/colleague, I really appreciate your kind commentary!
I also watch your videos and appreciate your excellent professional jobs.
I am aware the felt material would make the pleats look more square and much better. BTW, I have some felt material in my shop.
I am doing these samples/training beforehand because I would do a job on a Rover P6 3500 1974 automobile.
The problem is my customer feels the original pleats are too hard while driving long trips.
Perhaps, by adding a layer of high resilience foam on top of the felt would solve the issue.
@@Cechaflo I would very much like to see the finished result for the Rover P6 3500, knowing your approach to work, I am sure that everything will be at the highest level
@@autotailor1710 I also expect to do a nice and strong job.
The customer is going to order leather material from Wildman&Bugby supplier. It seems he will go for the Cardinal Barley leather and another red colour for the piping.

Maestro agregó pistola de calor como toque final de este hermoso trabajo ??
Muchas veces no es necesario. En esta muestra no apliqué calor.

Incredible job! 👏
What size of piping did you use on this seat?
This is sample/test I sent to a customer in Australia. The real seats are for a
Rover P6 3500 1974.
The plastic pipe is 3 mm thick. I used a skived leather strip 1 mm thick to wrap it around the pipe. Consequently the final piping was slightly thicker.
I've never glued in a rod before....when the 1994 Mustang came out and we did the seats changed from 1993 and prior....I ended up redoing things the way I thought made the most sense and we sewed a loop and created a channel same way you did here...but added a rod to the bottom to make sure the contours would keep the same shape over time. The 1994 mustang seats seemed to have had a spray in foam that just pushed the pattern out and stayed to those dimensions...cuz we had to peel the foam away from the leather and that was weird for me to see...then later a lot more manufacturers started having either glued in inserts or velcro loops...
I wonder if it is due to less time assembling at the factory?
We connected hog rings the way the older style seats had...forgot that ...
Dear Jeffrey, Thanks for sharing with us useful information!
After disassembling some car seats I realized hard steel wires were embedded in a channel. Sometimes, they are behind a mesh to add more resistance to fastening. Of course these steel wires and mesh included were put together while melting liquid foam into a mold.
The way I use is an artisan way I consider a good option because I have done several car seats and those steel wires do not take off. My customers are still happy with their seats after some years passed.
I used this method on this bucket chair I still have it as a sample in my shop.
ruclips.net/video/QyjZIQ3e-TU/видео.html
Regarding the use of velcro I can say it is just another practical method to fasten the covers and give desired shapes.
Car manufacturers are always on the vanguard with the searching and application of new materials in regard of car interiors and others.
@@mrupholsteryman Yes, you are right! I also like the old school method.
Buenas noches,puede poner subtítulos en español,me gustan sus videos y aprendería más, si pudiera poner los subtítulos, gracias!!

The yellow material??
It is felt fabric. It could be canvas fabric or any other stiff cloth.
Hello,
Do you have any roof headliner videos?! You make cool for seats and dashboards, wondering if any roof ones.
Thanks

@@Cechaflo Thank you, I have seen those. I mean something like the amazing things that you do with the seats, something with design, not a plain foam thingy that every other nobody on the internet is doing.
This channel shows some AMAZING upholstery builds and i was curious if you had such a project for the roof. I am curious what materials could be used beside the headliner material that everyone is using. Could some other fabric be used?! Would it need foam backing to be glued, how about some designs.
Just sharing ideas of something i would be interested for my car but nobody here could attempt such projects you share
👍👍👍👍
What kind of glue do you use and prefer in your work
I mostly use brushable glues.ruclips.net/video/o2xeezdF8Ss/видео.html

Hallo zusammen
Haben Sie ein Buch für Begriffe sattlerei
Why the 2mm holes ?
This small seat is just a sample/training to replicate the original seat covers for a classic English car Rover P6 3500 1974 (mentioned in the video description)
The little 2 mm holes also come this way in the original seat covers (part of the design) Similar to a Ferrari Daytona cover (Not the same)
bridgeclassiccars.co.uk/ferrari-daytona-seats-finished/
This is very difficult
Wish he would get someone to explain in english.
Доброго времени суток. Пожалуйста подскажите ,какая плотность вторичного поролона. Заранее благодарю, с уважением Михаил
It is a high resilience foam that acts like a spring if somebody 'jumps over it'. It is mostly used on tennis shoes' insoles.
У нас такая пена называется - поролон вторичного вспенивания. Напишите ,пожалуйста , какой номер плотности( жесткости) . Заранее благодарю, с уважением Михаил Лапшин
👌👍👏👌👍👏👌👍👏👌👍👏
🇹🇷🙋♂️👏👏👍❤️
Mercedes was the one who produced this method on its seats
I have some related information in the video description. I did this sample because of a potential customer that has a classic British Rover P6 3500 1974. He wants me to replicate the OEM design on his own car seats, but with a softer padding.
@@Cechaflo Have you considered a firm latex instead of foam? Or gluing a softer one the last 5-7cm? I don’t know about foam but with latex at least the bond won’t give.
I had also been going to ask how late curled horse hair was used in car seats? It’s certainly has both support and give, though the only way to square I think would be to pre-make a muslin frame for it. I’ve seen those and the idea opens some interesting possibilities!
why the holes???
If you read the description: "This video shows one way to replicate square channels which come on the classic English car Rover P6 3500 1974 seats."..................
This small seat is a kind of sample/training to understand the real OEM seat covers.
@@Cechaflo cool thanks
@@danawick9817 I assume these little holes in this design let the air of foam cushion in and out acting like a spring. Or just a design.

Hace falta que hable en sus videos!! Puede ser un buen tapicero...pero si no tiene pedagogia y un buen lexico para enseñar no sirven sus videos
I’ll respectfully disagree here. I’m a novice still but I learn so much because the camera views are so good. He’s so detailed in how he measures, and how he does allowances for the foam. Like this video, many have text that explains non-demonstrated information and with detail of what he’s using. As I have to closely watch what he’s doing anyway, I don’t mind having text to read - I know I’m going to rewind so I can review portions anyhow.
As always though, what works for many may not work for all.
