anyone else came here from the other seam "repair" video
Yeah 😂😂
Great presentation!! Exactly what I needed to see to repair a torn seam on my BMW X5 seat. Thank you.
This is awesome. Now I feel confident in my thought that "I" can repair the cushions of our motor home and the headliner that has had the stiching come undone.
Fantastic video thank you for uploading. Patient and detailed explanation of how to do this process. Appreciated
thanks a lot, this is a great tutorial! i called a few shops around and they won't even touch old seats, they just want to totally replace the leather so I have to stitch them on my own, this will come in handy!
Exactly what I need to see. Just got my kit and will get into this repair before it becomes a bigger problem. Thank you.
No problems thanks for reaching out
i know right? thanks to this guy i just repaired the seats on my 05 clk looking nice and original. The stitching that goes through the middle of the chair came undone. The foam and bolstering is okay, just the thread ripped. Now to find a way to patch a pinky sized hole and I'm happy 😁
@PHelsing ha. I was just looking at my un-repaired seat yesterday. I ran out of time before my hand surgery. I did put a stitch with a knot to stop the progress.
Thank you for the valuable info. I was looking for info. on this type of repair i'm going to use your method to fix my motorcycle seats broken seam. Thanks again!
Brilliant How To Richard ❤
Very helpful. I would suggest leaving the new thread longer at each end. Enough to wrap around a tool and pull. Shows that with your guide anyone can do it.
Thank you
Tight!
Thank you for posting this excellent video! Thanks to you I was able to repair my leather couch. The arm rest had broken ( turned out to be made of particle board) which required me to open up a substantial fraction of the leather. Resewing the leather seemed daunting ( fixing the internal structure was fairly easy) but I followed your instructions and the repair turned out surprisingly well. Thanks again! - Jim
That’s great news so glad we were able to help you with this video.
thanks was going to spend a 1000$ on a new seat for my GTO but I think a 1$ sewing kit might be the wiser option.
Very nice, have a spot to fix in a corner so this was very helpful
My only issue so far is that the old thread deteriorated and doesn't want to come out of some of the existing holes. Little remaining bits are going to make it more difficult to move the new thread through. Tweezers and scissors only got out the vast majority of it.
Hello, do you have any videos on how to repair the decorative stitching? I have the seam and the decorative stitching broken. Thank you
we don't have any videos just yet of that, but will be making one in the future
I knew that you'd use a curved needle. Am I correct to say that you use Upholstery thread?? (I didn't look to see if you left a link for where to buy), Thank you for this video!!
Yes it’s an upholstery thread, you can just buy this from ebay
It looks like you're skipping a hole on each side when you thread the needle. Do you then come back from the other end and pick up the missed holes?
Hi It’s not missing any holes. We are going in one side and then the other
Thank you. It must have been the way I was viewing it. At about the 7:30 mark it looked like you were going in one hole at the top, but coming out two holes down.
How would I repair the decorative stitch that runs along side if the seam is OK. I have some seats that the decorative stitches have about 2 inches worn through on the bolster. Is it possible to re stitch it by hand
Curved needle, go in one stitch hole and then miss the next one and come out further along and then come back and back further along, hope that makes sense
@LeatherRepairUK so you repeat that along the row so sort of looping back on itself every stitch
@@glencolledge2586 yes correct your missing a hole and then going back and forward the full length eventually you stitch each hole sometimes you have to go in stitch and miss two then come back to the second hole and then stitch and loop back to the third hole etc etc
@LeatherRepairUK is there any way of sending you an image in hope you can advise if it's possible to sort out ?
@@glencolledge2586 sure help@leatherrepaircompany.com is the general email address for the company
So why is the thread not pulled tight as you go along? Just wondered..
It’s so you don’t cause unnecessary tension in the wrong places
Tried this and the holes starting breaking when I got to the middle 😢
You just need a heavy duty thread.. Some are very hard to break.
Thanks for the effort. But it doesn't look prefect. Maybe surgeon will do the best.
Depends who the surgeon is I guess,
It's ok, you had the seat out already, it would have been pretty easy to take the cover off and resewed it with a sewing machine, IMO afaster and a better job. Not knocking what you did but hand sewing has limitations. Carry on .
He mentioned about this in the video and why he didn't do it.
I dunno that sounds like a pain in the ass to me. I bet it would take a lot more time and more faffing about to take the cover off! I suppose it probably depends on how big the gap is you want to stitch.
