Hello Dan, Thank you so much for saying so! I really appreciate you. Please keep liking and watching!

Hello again Richard. I left a comment a day or two ago about having trouble seeing white chalk lines on my light colored velour. New to Upholstery with 39 Chevy. I tried masking tape but it didn't seem to remain straight when I sewed because the sew foam scrim backing collapsed under the foot pressure and the line became distorted. I also tried your advice and bought the best scrim I could. I had been using the pink scrim to save $ but the black backed stuff arrived yesterday, I put my chalk marks on the back of that and then sew the pleats with the scrim side up. That is working for me and my line was straight. Thank you for your fine instruction. I am retired and am not looking for a new trade but I want to develop a new fun skill. You're the master. Thank you again. Fred.+ I am amazed that you actually read my comment and then actually wrote a reply. You are really dedicated.

Hello Whitey, Yep, I answer every comment because sometimes people need help. I sew from the backside when I roll and pleat or tuck and roll. When I do that, I first sew the line on top, flip it over, fold the seam then sew it on the backside. Anything is possible with upholstery right? Please keep liking and watching!

One of my tricks is before I sew these type channels is on the back side cut the fibers ( not all the way through) along the line. When you sew you have more control to sew it straight because the material lays flat. It’s the same concept as the old tuck and roll. These seats remind me of the old channel back sofas. The comfort of these seats is far superior to modern day car seats. I’m retired now and what I’m saying is it’s take skill and patients to do the old interiors. I hope your customer appreciates your labors. Thank You

Hi Rudolph, thought ya might find this video interesting - Ford mo co. from back in the 20's and 30's processing the material and making interiors from start to finish - Ford made/processed EVERYTHING in house, including the yarn and cotton for seat materials and complete seat cushions, pretty neat to see from so many years ago - I see they even had a special press to compress the seat springs so the skirts could be pulled up and tacked into place.

Wow, you really do beautiful work. Those mud dauber’s nests that were in the seats show up everywhere. I’ve had to knock them off of my old car too. I’ve got a ‘26 Model T Ford that I’m finally starting to do the upholstery on. I drive her all over town now, and I’m starting to get embarrassed by the shower curtain seat covers. I’ve made patterns for the door panels, and I’ll be using the old 1910 Singer sewing machine that came with my house. It’s an open touring car, so I’ll be using vinyl, and I suppose I’ll have to use a stronger thread. I love seeing you do those pleats. I always wondered how each pleat stayed puffy on its own. Now I see that each one is individually stuffed. Keep up the great work. I’m hoping to see you stuff the seat back as well, since it’s more like the back of a sofa.
