How to Upholster a Speedboat Bench Seat Backrest

[@JackiOsborne-g5m]

I love your videos. I was feeling a little overwhelmed with redoing the vinyl coverings on our boat but have watched several in this series and feeling much better about tackling the job. I'm sure I'll be watching them many more times before I'm finished. Thank you!

I'm glad the videos are helping you feel more confident about your boat project!

SS Tetanus, love taking apart stuff like this, usually go grab a mask when I see that much mold.

Great video.

Just wondering what size thread, needle and stitches per inch you are using for the base seam and decorative seams

[@SailriteDIY]

We used Tex 90 Polyester Thread with a size #20 Needle. The stitch length was a 6mm.

How long did this project take? How long should it take to reupholster the back seat?

[@SailriteDIY]

Anything that is filmed takes twice as long as it should. I would estimate that it would take about 8 hours if not being filmed. Use this PDF for actual job times: marinefabricatormag.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/02/timeline-standards.pdf Page 37 shows a Lounge Bench Seat at about 7.5 hours.

one question on sewing past fabric edge. is it not a good ideas to sew past the edge of the fabric and then backstitch. it seems like every time i do. the thread gets tangled up with the bobbin. should i not go past the edge of the fabric?

[@michaelmabry8705]

What do you mean past the fabric edge? And what machine are you using

[@eross21]
