    I'm 63 with a lot of time on my hands. I learn so much from your videos. I'm in the process of doing my old Lazy Boy set and doing pretty well with it as a result of what you're teaching us. Just awesome. I watch so intentely and sometimes I have a question and sure enough... if I watch enough, you''ll answer it. Today I saw you lock stiching on the 1st half sewing midway down an edge seam and then not lock stiching when you turn it over to so the other half. I asked myself why he didn't lock stitch it? Then later on in the video you discussed starting the sewing a little behond the middle on the second half to safe time and no need for the starting lock stich. WIth enough of your videos, "I won't be that guy!' haha

    So, an alligator only has one belly and one back. If I were to sort the pattern - I would have ensured there was only one of each per panel. But then, this is going into a rat-rod. So, I am assuming no one will really notice that. Glad to see you back in action. Merry Christmas! Edit, Also, I wholly agree that the added padding there was the right choice.

    I sure enjoy all of the tips you give us. Maybe one day I will tackle a simple upholstery job. The top stitch looks like a real bear to make when there are multiple layers of material to sew through. The customer has to be super happy with their seat now. Wonder why they cut the panels so small though. Hope your holidays are going well and you have the best of New Years.

    Thank you for going through all the work to share your knowledge. I’m working on my own project car so am watching and learning from quite a few upholstery artists. Your one of the few with true detail but I’ve noticed you don’t discuss stretch, is that because you’ve found it to be less important or are you doing it on autopilot? No criticism in any way just curious for my own work.
