How to Approach Bulky Foamed Pleats - Car Upholstery/Furniture

✅Get our courses at: www.cechaflo.com
--------------------------------------
Sometimes, I have wondered how I would approach deep channels with a regular triple transport sewing machine.
The problem I have found is the presser feet which due to its shape cannot freely run in the deep channel. Therefore the solution would be to make narrower presser feet. The one in the video is a simple prototype that still needs to be improved to make sewing much easier. Anyways it works out.
As we can see, we are defying an almost 2 cm channel depth. It could be higher if we want.
Perhaps the most important content of this video is the motivation to be innovative whenever it is necessary and not to be afraid of creating or doing modifications.
I hope you find some inspíration in this video!

hello dear friend, good luck with everything

[@dianaospina4730]

Gracias excelente su forma de explicar

[@ejm3381]

Great skill to learn though how do you attach to other panels once completed that don’t have foam pleats? Like for example a seat center and attach side bolster panels

[@Cechaflo]

There are different ways to attach the pieces together. It is a little difficult to verbally explain. I would like to make a video to show the process. In this video I show one way that consists in sewing the channel's bags beforehand. The cut foams are put/pushed inside the bags after finishing the whole sewing of the cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3WZeH56gZiXaas Another similar way:kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYPGgqCXasxkrc0

Muito bom trabalho, ficou bonito, parabéns 🪡🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@jamessmith7154]

Very good video, informative.I recently had a bench seat and back for a boat to do.I basically did the same as you,but do you have any tricks for when the piece is 50 inches wide and 30 inches high?It's a lot of material to squeeze under the machine

[@Cechaflo]

Perhaps a 'tufting method' for bigger pleats:kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYPGgqCXasxkrc0si=ph6nYR-0_bwpw5xJ&t=1736

Pfaff antiga, é a melhor máquina industrial.

[@ArsenianMagia]

Hola !! Gracias por su aporte !! Aprendo mucho . Que tipo de máquina y pie se usa en esos casos ? Gracias !!

[@Cechaflo]

Generalmente las máquinas para tapicería automotríz y muebles son la de doble y la de triple arrastre. Constan de 2 patas alternantes, mientras una está abajo presionando el material que se cose la otra pata está arriba y luego le toca estar abajo. El pié de presión que muestro en el video es de mi creación adaptada para los canales profundos. En este video explico que es una máquina de triple arrastre. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2Src4t4eal-pdE

[@ArsenianMagia]

@@Cechaflo gracias por su pronta respuesta . Yo tengo una doble arrastre lo q no sabía es si en este caso es triple o doble o da igual ? Y el pie podría mostrarlo en alguna foto ? Gracias nuevamente !

[@Cechaflo]

@@ArsenianMagia La doble y la triple arrastre constan de 2 piés de presión: uno pequeño adelante y uno mas grande atrás. Se les llama piés alternantes o caminantes (walking feet) En una doble arrastre, el arrastre del material se hace con el peine de arrastre (similar a las máquinas de simple arrastre) y el pié de presión que está atrás. Son dos elementos que intervienen, por eso es doble arrastre: el peine y el pié trasero. La aguja con su barra simplemente sube y baja para hacer la costura. En la triple arrastre como puede ver en el video, el arrastre del material se hace con 3 elementos: el pié de presión pequeño delantero, el peine de arrastre y la aguja. Estos 3 elementos se mueven de atrás hacia adelante constantemente para hacer el arrastre. La puntada no falla en absoluto con su medida que se le dió, porque hasta la aguja mientras va cosiendo sujeta al material. En conclusión una triple, es un poco mas heavy duty o para trabajo pesado. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqnafIFqe8pll7M kzbin.infoPbVrralfPko

How wide are the strips?? Are they closed cell foam?? I missed the measurement ! Thanks!!

[@samhutson7966]

The foam!?! Is it 1/2”&1/4” combined

[@Cechaflo]

Yes a combination of two foams. A standard upholstery foam on top (1/2" thick) In the lower position an Eva foam 6 mm thick.

[@fmscooter768]

nice, i did this last year but i stopped to use it because i didn find a solution how i can integrate it in a motorcycle seat for example, because when you sew other parts over the edges it presses everything together and than it looks terrible, so im wondering for what exactely do you use these bulky pleats - car seats? any examples?

[@Cechaflo]

It is not an easy task to attach the pieces together if we follow the regular procedures all the upholsterers know. We would have to resort to some tricks I would like to share in a next video. In these attached videos I show one way that consists in sewing the channel's bags beforehand. The cut foams are put/pushed inside the bags after finishing the whole sewing of the cover: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3WZeH56gZiXaas Another similar way:kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYPGgqCXasxkrc0

[@ВалявкаТатьяна]

Здравствуйте, скажите пожалуйста, что за пенопласт вы используете? В каких магазиназ его можно найти? Спасибо)

[@Cechaflo]

I have used two kinds of foam in this video. On the bottom a foam that is called Eva foam/Latex foam (it is used for tennis shoes insoles) On the top I have used a 1 cm thick upholstery foam (medium density). This foam can be bought from Upholstery stores. Unfortunately I am located in Mexico and I get these products from local stores.

[@ВалявкаТатьяна]

@@Cechaflo спасибо вам большое за обратную связь. Сейчас редко кто отвечает. Это очень приятно. 😊

[@samhutson7966]

The red material?? What is it called??

[@Cechaflo]

The red material is a thin canvas fabric. It could be another stiff and strong fabric such as muslin, velour, felt, etc.

[@dickys5657]

Excuse my English. What are the space weights of the two foams?

[@Cechaflo]

6 mm wide between the 2 foams, considering the presser foot width and thickness of the vinyl that goes inside.

[@dickys5657]

@@Cechaflo Thanks and greetings from Germany

[@tinabutters-hargrave7911]

What pressor fot and thread did u use?

[@Cechaflo]

I manufactured the narrow presser foot (first testing prototype). The second one made by hand is in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/apa8oJ57iKylbtk A lathe/milling operator can quickly and easily make it.

А как вы лапки в одну линию перестроили

[@Cechaflo]

An old foot was useful. I cut off the excess.

[@paultontucker101]

What do you call that foot

[@Cechaflo]

It could be a channeling foot.

[@dssd6344]

0.5 mm or 0.5 cm?

[@Cechaflo]

5 cm the channel width. 5 mm the gaps between the channels. Sorry for the mistake.
