Fantastic video, zoomed in, clarity, execution, instruction....well done
So glad to have found you after a number of bum steers! Thanks for these super clear instructions without which my drivers seat seam split would not look as "invisible" as it does now. A four inch split took me about 60 minutes because I had the tools mentioned at hand. And I was able to thread the pigtail into the needle with the tail and then pull both of them under the seam. Thanks for taking the time out to do this and for having the video and audio tech to paint the picture. You're an ace! God bless.
Thank you so much for posting this! My leather couch was coming apart in several places, and you saved me at least $85 (that's what I was quoted for two small tears and one big one....but once I got going I found several other spots coming apart so I'm sure the total would have been much higher). It took me 5+ hours and would have taken a pro a third of that time but I'm so glad I was able to DIY it for about $4 worth of materials. Very grateful for your expertise!

Wow this is great, it taught me a lot! Now for two tips to make it even better/ even less traceable: #1- You can take an electric hair clippers, and glide it over those little free strands, which will probably cut them off. #2- You can find some leather/ vinyl (or even acrylic paint, if you insist on not buying the former), and paint those little strands, along with painting that whole slit/ seem. or #3- Do BOTH, and it will really and fully disappear even up close!
Thank you, Eric. The close-ups were helpful to understand how it is done. The speed was good, so I did not have to rewind. Your video met my goal of learning how to repair a broken seam in a leather seat.

Thank you for this! very good tips and well explained instructions. Now I can repair our chair. :)
Going back over the seam again so that the leather has thread on the back side between every stitch hole on each side will keep the gapping to a minimum. Also, instead of trimming the pigtail of the existing thread, wrap it several times around the new thread before pulling it back down under the seam. That way the entire pigtail will be preserved and limit the possibility of the knot coming undone, especially if the knot winds up being two half-hitches instead of a full square knot.

BRAVO! By far the best video I’ve ever seen and I made mistake of not using the thread recommended and what I did use out of my sewing box unraveled and broke pretty quickly. That said, I got the upholstery thread by Coats & Clark and it is FABULOUS. Followed the video closely and I have a repair that looks like a professional did it. THANK YOU!!!!!!

Very good tutorial! It helped a lot. Thank you!
I restitched the seams on my convertible top. It's VERY hard to pick the needle through 3 layers of rubberized canvas. I would recommend a good pair of gloves, thick nylon UV resistant thread, a pair of needle nose pliers, and extra needles (you are going to break them)
Thanks a lot, this is just what I needed.

I recycled some old spider wire braided fishing line for thread. That's good for an extremely strong repair.

Use an ice pick if you can find one. It makes the hole bigger so that the needle goes in easier. You can also use wax on the needle. That is what we used to do in the shop.

With dab brown paint on thread. I would spray piece foam cut sharply to point and finish job. If you had adhesive remover to wipe any left over paint your set.
