They don't teach this stuff anywhere near my city and I never would have learned to actually do what I've been wanting to for a very long time, and actually grow to love my work. Wish you and your family nothing but prosperity!!!

You are GREAT!! You are so good at explaining and excellent detail! What kind of Juki is that? Would you recommend that machine for professional marine upholstery. I am in Ventura California. The primary machines I own and use, an Old Juki 562 and a Consew 206-RB4. I also have a Consew double needle that I haven't set up yet. My primary background is office seating, but when Covid hit, I branched off into marine and automotive upholstery. Canvas, cushions, covers etc. Been thinking I want a new Juki... just looking for a push I guess. Thank you for taking the time to document your techniques. Best to you!

@@djpar3492 The thin sew foam is 1/4 Inch cloth backed scrim. You definitely want a cloth-backed foam to sew too. Using headliner foam is BAD. Have you ever seen a headliner fall? The foam disintegrates and turns to dust. If you have seen KZreadrs use headliner foam, they gave very BAD advice!

You should have put holes in the wood backing to allow water to escape. The wood needs to be water proofed again. The foam should have been replaced and the new foam should overhang the edges about 1/2" and wrapped in Cushion Wrap Silk Film to protect it from water. I hope that is Marine grade vinyl and NOT Automotive vinyl (Not the same).

Hi! Thank you for the excellent advice! Also what needs to be factored in is how much the customer wants to spend. Because I would never do all of that for free. This video is about making a new cover. I did use marine vinyl, even though marine vinyl fails just like regular vinyl. The funny thing is if marine vinyl never failed, I would never be doing boat upholstery. I'm sorry, just my 43 years of experience speaking.
