Your work is absolutely perfection, I am always entranced.

[@kirbywaite1586]

People seem to forget that exposed stitching frays and sometimes tears. That's one reason welting is used. Also the more top stitching the more you are inviting tearing and separation of the material.

Que gran diferencia con está máquina

[@pauleyedwin6056]

Would you change anything if you bought a new post bed sewing machine such as ,Needle spacing, post height, Evan a different model. Is this a large bobbin machine? Trying hard to figure out the best and most reliable post bed sewing machine to purchase. Your very much appreciated. Thanks Ed.

[@Cechaflo]

For car upholstery, most of the post bed double needle sewing machines are set up to 1/2" if an inch to 10 mm wide between needles. It is mostly used for french seams/double stitches in seat covers, consoles, dashboards, etc.The set up involves the cube that holds the needles, the needle plate, feed dog and presser feet. As the posts are removable they are set up to the mentioned distances in the lines above. In other words if you require a special distance between the twin needles it will be necessary to change the complete kit. www.n-ccarpet.com/index.php?route=product/product&search=post+bed+&product_id=684&search=post+bed+

[@pauleyedwin6056]

Thanks, any special height of post I should look for? I will use mine for a seat covers and a few bags on the side.

[@1979augistine]

Usually hight is the same for different machines unless you get a high post machine and they can be 10 inches up to 2 or 3 feet​@pauleyedwin6056

[@samhutson7966]

The cuts for relief going around the corners-how far apart are the cuts??

[@Cechaflo]

Approximate 2 mm - 3 mm from the sewing, it can be seen more clearly in this other video: ✅kzbin.info/www/bejne/poDdq3yejct0ZpIsi=qygJrmWxZ3HEyDlD&t=72

[@Handles-R-Lame]

Hey there! I'm still sorta new to the channel but first off id like to say that you are beyond "professional" and your work deserves the "legendary" title! If i may ask my main question however is this, I see that your using a post bed machine, i personally own a cylinder arm. Which i thought would be best for most of my work because it includes wallets and bag manufacturing. But i now am seeing not only upholstery makers use post beds, but shoe makers and even bag makers as well. *_Essentially do you see any benefit to having a cylinder arm to a post bed?_* Im sure a post bed can get into tricky and tight corners but i have heard post beds are more for lighter work as in thin materials. *_What is the thickest thread or needle available to you with your machine?_* Sorry for the long drawn out question. I really appreciate your work its a very informative and helps all types of craftsman. Thank you and hope this year brings you great enjoyment!

[@Cechaflo]

Post bed sewing machines (one or twoo needles) are used in the automotive industry and furniture, as you said, to get into tight corners. That is the case of headrests, seat bolsters, sofa cushions, etc. It makes the sewing process easier. Of course, this process can also be done with a flat or cylinder bed sewing machine, but with some limitations. The most basic sewing machine to do upholstery is a flat bed sewing machine. I see a benefit to have a cylinder bed sewing machine, because if you have added an extra wood table you would have two sewing machines in one. You could do regular upholstery, besides the making of bags which are kinda difficult to perform on a flat bed machine. The old machine I show in this video is heavy duty and can sew with thick threads 138, 207, 277 and with needles size 140=22, 160=23, 180=24

[@geomk3]

Thanks for the great videos you produce as they have help me tremendously in my Upholstery shop as well.May I ask what the needle spacing is on your post bed machine as well as the thread size you are using ? Thanks again !

[@Cechaflo]

The spacing between twin needles is 10 mm. I wanted this distance as a standard measure. It could be 1/2" of an inch or less, but this process involves the changing of a complete kit that includes the cubes to hold the needles, new presser feet, and new needle plate. And above all a new timing. Really a confusion! If a car trimmer would want different widths between needles, it would be advisable the use of different machines set up to each measure. I have used polyester thread size 138 on the upper tensions and bobbins below.

[@ПавелРябчиков-ш5з]

Скажите, как называется материал на боковине 4мм толщиной?

[@Cechaflo]

It is regular automotive upholstery foam medium density. It is called bonded foam because it has a stretch backing fabric on its reverse side.

Where do you get this guiding feet? I know kwokhing, but the sword is much longer on kwokhing feet KP269 and KP269SK

[@TanyoushiK]

That's awesome sewing machine! What's distance between needles?

[@Cechaflo]

It's been set up at a distance of 10 mm. This measure can be changed wider or narrower, but implies the changing of presser feet, little cube that holds the needles, needle plate, and feed dog. The two posts/beds can be moved to a wider or narrower position.

What length is the top stitching? 6mm?

[@Cechaflo]

Yes, it is 6 mm long.

[@JAndJ479]

Thank you and is that usually what top stitching length is for designs and stuff like that sorry just getting into upholstery and just trying to learn

[@Cechaflo]

@@JAndJ479 It is matter of taste. For seat covers the standard stitches can go from 5 to 6 mm long. In furniture the fashion is the use of longer stitches...8, 10 to 12 mm long. If you are goind to upholster an item with thin thread (92 size) the length generally is shorter...3 to 4 mm long.
