STRAIGHT INSIDE-HIDDEN STITCH(BLIND STITCH) FOAMED CHANNELS/PLEATS
As in former related tutorial' to do these designs, three layers of (vinyl/leather, foam and a backing cloth, are also fastened by sewing them together. The difference is that the 'sewing' is done on the reverse or wrong side of vinyl/leather/ or fabric materials.
There are three well known methods to perform these designs :
1. Standard way to do the channels : To do this procedure, the material on top (vinyl/leather) should be folded and sewn to the foam and backing cloth every time we do a channel.
2. Square foamed channels : the foam is cut in long rectangular 'sliced pieces' : The material on top is folded and sewn directly to the backing cloth...the already cut rectangular foam pieces are put in, every time we do a channel. The channels have a nice square
3. Reinforced inside-hidden stitch : Sewing on top first, then re-sew them on the reverse where the 'backing cloth' goes. The sewing for these channels are stronger and obvious, more durable.
I want to notice that these foamed designs are labour-intensive jobs, and more expensive than on-top stitches foamed designs.
I hope you find the video useful!

Excellent.. This is how the seats on my 63 cadillac is sewn... I'm trying to sew new covers... The 3mm shrink was messing my measurements up...

[@bennetaiken9849]

Great videos Cech! Used my 1245 for years, love it, but I've never done "blind stiches Foamed Channels".... Consequently, I've never used your type of backing cloth. I've always used sewfoam.... Please let me know what backing material you are using? It appears that you use different kinds in some of your videos I've watched. Absolutely love your videos! You are definately a master craftsman! Thanks, Bennet

[@Cechaflo]

I have used a muslin cloth as backing on the reverse side. Sew foams come already with a backing cloth thoroughly glued down over the reverse side of foam material. It is much easier to handle.

[@hotrodsurplus]

This is one of the most elegant tutorials. You are a thoughtful and organized teacher. Thank you.

Thanks so much for your positive words! It really encourages me to keep on doing these upholstery tutorials! Thanks for watching the video!

[@bennetaiken9849]

Ok Cech! Finally figured out, with vinyl, my dimensions with converting cm and mm to inches, did two sew outs and on the second one it all came out perfectly because of your video! My question is, I did this with vinyl, are there any changes in dimensions when using leather? I'm ready to cut the leather for this vintage car and I can't mess up 1000.00 worth of leather! The tight folds that are folded to sew is my main concern. It's standard auto leather, not hardly any difference in thickness, a little maybe, than the vinyl.... Great videos! Thanks so much! Bennet

[@Cechaflo]

Hi Bennet, Similar procedures with leather material.

[@SUPERDRAGOS35]

What`s the solution for natural leather,wich is thicker? At 1.3 mm thickness you waste 2mm at least for each stitch.

[@Cechaflo]

Trying to figure out your question. Regularly, upholstery leathers are from 1 mm to 1.4 mm thick. The sewing machine should be capable of making stitches the same length, thin or thick leather. Sometimes, this issue happens (I suppose) when we do not regulate the height of the sewing machine presser feet by loosening a wing nut in the back of the machine. A higher position is for thicker materials. If we do not do that, then the presser foot rubs the surface material and alters the stitch length to less distance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV6ZZYqNdsR4brM

[@devastatoraudio]

I was wondering what the cloth on the bottom of the foam was for? Ive been trying to sew foam to tweed and the thread keeps getting knotted up. Thanks for the videos, been watching you for years bro. Subbed.

[@Cechaflo]

The cloth on the bottom or reverse side is a kind of backing or reinforcement to keep in place the foamed channels.The top vinyl material is sewn down to the cloth beneath and the foam is in the center giving the bulky shape. It is difficult to directly sew foam to a cloth underneath. Above all if the needle is thick. To make the sewing easier it should be a cloth or vinyl on top, the foam in the center and a backing cloth on the bottom.

Very nice! My dad was a life long auto upholsterer & worked at Fords design center in Dearborn. The way I learned tuck & roll in the sixties, was sewing together individual strips of the material ( Naugahyde usually) & then glueing strips of foam in the channels with a scrim back added. Very time consuming. But I've not seen a single you tuber doing it that way? Thank you.

[@johndough7160]

I guess that's one way of doing tuck and roll. The way you're doing it will take forever. You don't have to mark the back side of the vinyl. Why not instead, try measuring your pleats on the top side with chalk after you glue your material to your skrim. Give a half inch allowance per pleat and sew the top stitch first, then fold the entire insert over and sew on the back side of the insert. It's kinda tricky if you're not used to sewing 1/4 inch seam allowances. For the rolls anyways. If you measure correctly your insert should be dead on after your done. I wish I could do a channel on here. I just don't have time to manage it. I dig your Phaff too. That's a good machine. I guess what I'm trying to say is, you're over thinking this insert. It doesn't have to be that technical. I'm saving up for a new Juki. I'm gonna try out that new 1541S. The foot raises 6/8's of an inch. I need that rise. I'm done typing now. ...lol... 😜

Absolutamente impecable trabajo, como siempre! Muchas gracias por ayudarnos a todos los que seguimos sus vídeos a aprender el oficio de tapicero ;-) Entiendo que el motivo de poner la tela debajo de la espuma es para que las costuras agarren mejor? O tal vez para que la máquina pueda arrastrar la espuma más fácilmente? Llevo idea de hacer unas fundas de cuero para los asientos de mi coche, para ponerlas encima de los asientos originales, sin quitar el tapizado original, y había pensado poner espuma bajo el cuero para darle un poco más de cuerpo a las fundas y que encajen mejor. Si no encuentro espuma que lleve la tela incorporada, tal vez haga lo que ha hecho usted pegando la tela a la espuma. Me ha parecido leer que recomendaría utilizar una espuma de densidad media, que no sea muy blanda ni muy dura? Había pensado usar espuma de unos 6mm de grosor, y la compraría en una empresa donde cortan espuma a la medida. Muchas gracias, César, como siempre! :-)

[@Cechaflo]

La tela de 'refuerzo' en la parte inferior efectivamente es para contener los 'acolchonados' y para ayudar a la costura. En las tiendas de tapicería se pueden encontrar 'espumas' con la tela pegada ya lista para solo colocar la 'tela de la parte superior'. Puede usar la 'espuma bondeada' que se usa para los 'techos interiores de cartón'...ya está lista con su tela, sólamente le pondría el cuero encima.

[@deltajohnny]

Cechaflo, de nuevo muchísimas gracias por la respuesta! La tienda que me venderá la piel para hacer las fundas no vende la espuma que lleva incorporada la tela, pero vende la que se utiliza para forrar el techo interior del vehículo, que como usted bien indica, es una espuma fina que lleva una tele incorporada, así que en caso de que no encuentre la otra espuma siempre puedo poner la que se utilizan en los techos. Gracias de nuevo por su ayuda, César!

[@Cechaflo]

Se supone que la tela manta en la parte inferior debe quedar plana. No olvidar que el vinil fue marcado mas ancho con la 'tolerancia' requerida para que voltee y quede sumida la costura en la base de la tela manta. Debería verificar este detalle. ¡Suerte!

[@crystalsoulsfly]

Beautiful texture

[@juanrivas6649]

que tal don cechaflo , tengo una pregunta por que o como es que le queda muy sumida la costura o la puntada, es que le quedan bien sumidas las puntadas pirque quiero saber es por la espuma O por la tela o que es por lo que le que sumida la puntada

[@Cechaflo]

Estimado Juan, Muy buena observación. La 'tela de manta/de refuerzo' permanece 'plana' y no sufre ningún encogimiento. La líneas paralelas que marcamos sobre el vinil se marcaron mas anchas porque van a 'moldearse' sobre la espuma y coserse a las líneas que marcamos 'abajo en la tela manta'. La espuma ayuda mucho para lograr 'acolchonados' mas formados. La costura queda en la parte inferior y se 'protege' del rozamiento que causaríamos al sentarnos. Por consiguiente este tipo de costuras van a durar mas.
