It usually depends on the day, some days are hard others are nice and easy. Thanks for your kind comments.

[@QueenChatty1]

When ever I need help with a project Sailrite is the first place I come to. These videos have taught me so many excellent ways to accomplish the task at hand. Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful videos. Best tutorials hands down!❤

[@SailriteDIY]

We're so glad to hear that our videos have been helpful to you! Thank you for your kind words and support. We'll continue to provide more useful tutorials in the future.

[@FredLeenig]

I often need to slip covers over foam, and as you say, they can be a little stubborn. I use a very fine plastic similar to "Saran Wrap" to facilitate the process. The plastic is called "silk wrap" and is a big help. Your videos are excellent and have helped me with a wide variety of projects.

[@cindyyeager8627]

I have used the fabric calculator and instructions for making cushions from this wonderful company. I upgraded the upholstery in my TrailManor camper and it looks great. Thanks for your tutorials.

[@SailriteDIY]

That's awesome! I'm so glad you were able to upgrade your camper with Sailrite's help!

[@oldguy5381]

I enjoyed your video, I have just started sewing odds and ends. I believe a vent hole in the wood could help the fabric from scratch.

[@lisastreet8920]

Great tip with the staple flange.

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks. Glad you liked it!

[@donellamuzik5466]

Super! Love the pace and clarity. Thank you!

[@SailriteDIY]

[@HonestDoubter]

I am going to do this for my leather shop. Going to look at one of those machines as well. Thank you.

[@HonestDoubter]

I finished my two stools. Thank you for this!

[@rufustoad1]

This is bad to bone!! I am a newbie and going to sew my first dozer seat tomorrow that will be just like this only squarer and with welt and you always give me great advise. Keep them coming!!

[@ginnylawson8533]

Wow! I am so excited to have found this video. I have four stools that were given to me, I wanted to make a cover for them. This video is perfect for what I want to do. Thank you so much!

[@SailriteDIY]

You are welcome! Hope they come out great!

[@sagaronline265]

[@bewilderedwomenstravels6776]

Thank you! Now i know to just hire someone to do my stools!!

[@SailriteDIY]

Less stress for you, and more time to chill!

[@tonyha3827]

Great video - thank you!

[@SailriteDIY]

You are welcome!

[@julieannjohn]

How many inches wide is the flange?

[@doradosurfcharters]

Nice video👍 a plastic bag makes getting the cushions in way easier and just leave it there or pull it out

[@Luna-cf3op]

Very well demonstrated. Thank you.

[@annstewart1983]

Great info

[@SailriteDIY]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the information helpful. Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see in future videos.

[@orionegbt]

Thanks for this great video! So happy to not be re-upholstering our metal barstools rather than chucking them in a landfill. One question - what is the seam width when you sew the top to the side? You say you put the magnetic guide on but I didn't catch the seam width for that one. Thanks!!

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks!!! Seam width is 1/2 inch.

[@ericacrowley9991]

Thank you. Im getting ready to recover my stools. This is perfectly explained. Any tips on how to sew a curved back stool cover?

[@SailriteDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@glenpaul3606]

Very good tutorial.

[@SailriteDIY]

Glad you liked it!

[@bltoth1955]

Good vid. What’s the rule for using a wrap or batting?

[@messenger8279]

Plain hacksaw blade works perfect for cutting foam.

[@SailriteDIY]

That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!

[@stizandelasage]

I don't feel any aggression I will listen and follow

[@SailriteDIY]

That's great to hear! It's always important to approach situations with an open mind and a willingness to listen and follow. Keep up the positive attitude!

[@DarkMultiBigTrees]

I have a very cheap music stool with a tall side wall and very little foam. I want to add 2 inch foam, which would make a 6 inch sidewall. Would this process still work well? I'm guessing it would.

[@SailriteDIY]

Yes, it should still work out great.

[@stevethomas211]

Did you use a special sewing machine?? I have a regular sewing machine like the one that your mom would use when you were a kid... I have five bar stools that I bought with a round bar that has the looks of a bop belie stove. Great video, WOW, learned ALOT.

[@SailriteDIY]

Yes, we used a Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ Sewing Machine found here: www.sailrite.com/Sailrite-Ultrafeed-LSZ-Walking-Foot-Sewing-Machine-110V However, a home sewing machine may still work for this type of application. It always depends on the quality and working order of the home sewing machine you own (so it varies greatly from machine to machine). To determine if a home sewing machine can sew thicker fabrics perform this test: Cut up a pair of old blue jeans into four layers (not including the jean’s hems). Since a home sewing machine usually can’t handle a thread larger than v-69 (Tex 70) use something comparable and try to sew through the 4 layers of blue jean material. If it sews well and the stitch looks good on the top and bottom side of the assembly then chances are you can use your home sewing machine for small to medium jobs.

[@stevethomas211]

Thank you for your time. I will try what you suggested with blue jeans. Thank you again.@@SailriteDIY

[@deanborosane5451]

Hey, what size of tread are you using in the video. Is it standard "40"?

[@SailriteDIY]

Tex 90 Polyester Thread.

[@indiesindie1984]

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

[@SailriteDIY]

Well, I'm flattered!

[@nyashakembo5101]

what type of thread did you use ,it looks durable

[@SailriteDIY]

We used a Tex 90 or V-92 Polyester thread.

[@richline100]

Can something like that be made using a house sewing machine?

[@SailriteDIY]

It may be challenging to feed the seating vinyl, but yes if your home sewing machine works well it may be possible.

[@azarellediaz4892]

Will these instructions apply to cloth covering too?

[@SailriteDIY]

Yes, they should work for cloth also.

[@juggers78]

Cool 😎

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks!!!

[@rockshot100]

Great tips, but don't you need to drill a hole or two in the bottom of the stool to allow the air to escape? Otherwise it would be hell on those seams? Beautiful job.

[@SailriteDIY]

Good tip!

[@magdiego]

Another great video! Just curious, though - i would have thought that since you cut the banding with a half inch overlap, the seam allowance should have been 1/4". Is that to keep the banding snug? And would that work with a non-stretch fabric? Thanks!

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks!!! Yes, we want the banding to be slightly smaller in height (after sewing) to keep it snug for a better tight fitting look. Yes, it should also work for a non-4 way stretch vinyl seating fabric as well.

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Why do you guys keep calling your company Sayre-Rite. . . . . . It’s Sail-Rite !

[@roxannegordon6162]

"Sew this to this"....translate: Sew the flange right side to right side of the seat.

[@SailriteDIY]

In other words "outside surfaces are facing each other".

[@stizandelasage]

When I'm Sifu when I'm sifu I know something or the Sultana is around

[@SailriteDIY]

I appreciate your support and I'm grateful that you took the time to watch my video.

[@richlounder2465]

He made the cover too big to start with! It should have been made to the board not the foam. This guy is a backyarder at best!

[@SailriteDIY]

I am sorry, but had we done that the cover would not have fit as well. So, I beg to differ. We want the cover to compress the foam slightly, but making it to the board would be too much compression. Thanks for your comment!

[@frankjones5283]

How many guys can sew ? ...lol
