The gloves should definitely help as my hands got sweaty, also i broke my needle trying to bend it more as the curve from one hole to the next is extreme on mini cooper upper bolster, tough leather for sure!

Thank you for posting this excellent video! Thanks to you I was able to repair my leather couch. The arm rest had broken ( turned out to be made of particle board) which required me to open up a substantial fraction of the leather. Resewing the leather seemed daunting ( fixing the internal structure was fairly easy) but I followed your instructions and the repair turned out surprisingly well. Thanks again! - Jim

i know right? thanks to this guy i just repaired the seats on my 05 clk looking nice and original. The stitching that goes through the middle of the chair came undone. The foam and bolstering is okay, just the thread ripped. Now to find a way to patch a pinky sized hole and I'm happy 😁

@PHelsing ha. I was just looking at my un-repaired seat yesterday. I ran out of time before my hand surgery. I did put a stitch with a knot to stop the progress.

Very helpful. I would suggest leaving the new thread longer at each end. Enough to wrap around a tool and pull. Shows that with your guide anyone can do it.

It looks like you're skipping a hole on each side when you thread the needle. Do you then come back from the other end and pick up the missed holes?

I have a similar problem in my 2008 Mini, except up the side and behind the neck area. But why are you not going thru the existing holes on the bottom part, and instead, going parallel on top to the seam? Wouldn't that vinyl rip? After skipping thru the video, I now see why. On mine, the seat is all black so you won't be able to see the thread (ok, maybe you will), but it's not as obvious then on a red seat top. Thanks.

The top and bottom row of stitching is a false stitch we are going into the existing holes too and bottom where they were stitched originally

@mojo2353 3 ай бұрын
I assume you would use a similar technique where the stitching has come apart on the inside of the red section , where your bottom goes . My Landcruiser has this problem . Auto trimmers want to take the whole seat out and replace the whole section . A lot of work and thus a lot of money .

My only issue so far is that the old thread deteriorated and doesn't want to come out of some of the existing holes. Little remaining bits are going to make it more difficult to move the new thread through. Tweezers and scissors only got out the vast majority of it.

It's ok, you had the seat out already, it would have been pretty easy to take the cover off and resewed it with a sewing machine, IMO afaster and a better job. Not knocking what you did but hand sewing has limitations. Carry on .

I dunno that sounds like a pain in the ass to me. I bet it would take a lot more time and more faffing about to take the cover off! I suppose it probably depends on how big the gap is you want to stitch.
