My First Diamond Stitch Panel - Vlog 064

In Vlog 64, I share the process of practicing and perfecting various upholstery techniques, focusing on creating a diamond-stitched design for my truck’s interior. Here's a summary:
Key Points:
Diamond Stitching Practice: The main focus of this video is my attempt at creating a diamond-stitched pattern on vinyl for the truck upholstery. I walk through the steps I took, from cutting the vinyl pieces to stitching them together.
Materials and Tools:
I started by cutting out red and black vinyl pieces, using thicker scrim foam (1/2 inch) for the red diamond section and thinner foam (1/4 inch) for the black section.
To attach the foam to the vinyl, I used a spray gun to apply glue, which initially caused some issues with uneven application and clumping.
Challenges and Solutions:
The glue didn’t apply evenly at first, leading to bulges in the material. However, after letting it dry and reapplying, the issues were resolved.
Stitching the diamond pattern presented some difficulties with the thread, but after some adjustments, I managed to get it done.
Outcome:
The final stitched piece turned out well, but the stitching was smaller than I had hoped due to the limitations of my sewing machine. I’m considering trying a double diamond pattern next and experimenting with horizontal pleats to see which design I prefer.
