[@Zion7HS]

Thank you, finally a simple video that shows me how to do a basic stitch repair in less than 2 minutes on my seat without all the extra fancy techniques and background music. Simple vid for a simple job thanks again 👍

[@Daddicated]

Glad you I could help. Thanks for the kind words. Means a lot. I try to be straight to the point and not waste the viewers time.

[@1redmazda11]

The "Frankenstein" Method 🤣

[@Daddicated]

But it worked.

[@OlgaBarabash]

This was terrible. There are other ways to sew where you can’t even see the thread…

[@Daddicated]

I would like to see it. Please share your video.

[@MattYoung-n5l]

Love it. Rugged yet effective and will last years.

[@Daddicated]

Thank you. Someone understands that it's not all about ascetics.

[@dangooddad]

Thanks for the video! Super helpful. I’m repairing my couch right now with a similar kit and process. It may not look pretty but sometimes you just gotta get it done and prevent it from getting worse, right?!

[@Daddicated]

Yep. 💪🏼

[@DontJustStandThere]

YIKES. While I really appreciate the time & effort to make the video, it doesn't look very good to tell the truth.

[@Daddicated]

Lol, I wasn't going for good looks honestly. I was going for something durable so that my kids don't rip the seat and make it way worst. And so far it's holding up after a year.

[@NewDesignVinylGraphics]

To have it look good you gotta get a professional to do it so be ready to spend at least a couple hundred on a repair like that

[@Zomby_Woof]

​@@NewDesignVinylGraphicsNo, you need to take the time to pull out the seat, remove the skin, reverse it and sew it from the back, then reinstall the skin. It's a bit of a project, with plenty of opportunity to make it look worse. Definitely practice first, and allow lots of time. There is often adhesive and other fastening methods, so getting t he skin off and on is the hard part, not the actual stitching.

[@eddygonzalez2328]

​​​@@Zomby_Woof My father was an upholster and my mother a seamstress and saw all the patterns se needed. When the furniture was done. He would have never remove the whole thing to stitch a seam come undone. Specially on a car, which I remember him repairing a couple of times for a friend or family member. There is a specific way of stitching using a curved needle and a special thread that was thicker or not as thick, but made of some other material. You basically have to threat using the existing wholes. I doubt any body would remove a seat and take it apart if they know what they are doing. My father never removed a seat and they looked like new. Car was not his specialty, but if he knew how to stitch leather. I highly doubt someone who work on cars would go through all that trouble to repair a seam.

[@dirtypickle77]

Yes, i appreciate the vid. But i dont think i learned anything. I think anybody could do just as good without watching. There are other videos that can show you better as I've found on here. I've even changed my own transmission from here. But good job on doing it yourself, I'm all about DIY!

[@tave9011]

Please try again with a ladder stitch You’re a good teacher btw

[@Daddicated]

I would need to learn the ladder stitch first. lol. thanks for the nice feedback tho.

[@onesikm3]

This guy can’t be serious right lmao 😂

[@Daddicated]

Lol, very serious. It’s holding up between the way.

[@tbs4ever64420]

Hey mate, just wondering how the stich is holding up (with kids in there)? I'm about to do the same repair for my car, also seen at my local car store an adhesive patch that I might put on top to cover the stitch which will hopefully help prolong the inevitable re-tear... agghhh have kids they said.

[@Daddicated]

Hello, so far so good. I think what helps though is I bought a cover that goes on top so it ensure that they are not touching it or playing with the seam. This is the cover that I got. amzn.to/45cxVvF

[@VegasD702]

Use dap dynaflex 230 over the stitches to blend it with the seat

[@Daddicated]

That’s a good idea actually.

[@VegasD702]

@@Daddicated 💯 I got chu bro!

[@Daddicated]

@@VegasD702 Thanks.

[@37Savage901]

For a home made DIY bro u did good. 💯

[@Daddicated]

Thanks man.

[@jannel.1120]

Ouch, that looks terrible. I would not use this technique for my car.

[@Daddicated]

Terrible yes but practical. Lol meaning it won’t get worse. I think in order to do a better job you need to reupholster the entire seat.

[@Watanabe478]

So don’t, no need to comment

[@codycorbett2049]

Looks better than a $400 repair bill to me lol

[@crognjoharding9447]

Terrible job my good man

[@kurifodomokuzai6667]

Oh no. Not doing this to my nice seats.

[@Daddicated]

😂. My seats are not nice

[@jakearmstrong4563]

I am Not gonna do it for more than $8 This is what I wanted Excellent Video

[@Daddicated]

Awesome, glad I could help.

[@dantrotta32]

You put a stitch in the middle and each end ti start

[@Daddicated]

And?

[@jamesedwards5846]

No in my maserati

[@Daddicated]

I hear Maseraties brake down a lot. Is that true?

[@lindagauthier2556]

No....use the saddle stitch.

[@Daddicated]

Maybe next time

[@alexandrerighi]

"it's not the prettiest" No shit

[@Daddicated]

It matches your personality though. 😂

[@AccessDude61]

That looks absolutely like $hit!! This video is how NOT to stitch your leather seats 😩

[@Daddicated]

Yes your not wrong but it's functional and it's keeping the seat from ripping even more from my kids. So it works for me.

[@jamiecroman1810]

Don't quit your day job..

[@Daddicated]

Lol 😂 not yet.

[@wendp_18]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 right

[@Sam-xq3ou]

What the hell?

[@Daddicated]

You don't like it?

[@steveydent]

oh ffs!

[@Daddicated]

😅

[@akinsesli494]

never sew again

[@Daddicated]

Lol, why not?

[@loriN.1]

Oh No🥴 You should have researched a little more 1st!!!

[@Daddicated]

😂 why?

[@BruceBusby]

Uuuuhhhhmmmmmm nope!

[@Daddicated]

Whhhhhhyyyy nooot?

[@BruceBusby]

@Daddicated because it looks like the north end of a south-bound dog! How you do anything is how you do everything. It looks terrible, likely isn't durable but you uploaded it and seem proud of the outcome.

[@cliffthecoolcat]

Isn't that great. You might as well just tape it shut.

[@Daddicated]

Yeah, duct tape works too. 😂

[@mouradzahoiani2395]

Unusefull video

[@Daddicated]

Why is that?

[@louishoff2110]

That's an absolutely crappy job. That's definitely not the work you've been cut out for.

[@Daddicated]

Lol, I wasn't going for the looks there. I was going for protecting the rest of the seat from making it worst and a bigger hole. And so far it's doing the job.

[@louishoff2110]

It's a car seat for Goodness sake. Looks are pretty important. Get a professional.@@Daddicated

[@Daddicated]

I disagree. The car is old 2014 plus I got three kids that will destroy it anyway overtime. Plus, if I had a professional do it I wouldn't be able to a video and get a chance to disagree about it with you. 😅@@louishoff2110
