A quick tutorial on how to easily repair a split seat seam using just a curved needle and strong thread.
Curved needles and thread: amzn.to/2S18A0h

[@dannyo3317]

I came across a leather car seat restitching video which I watched because it seemed interesting. That lead to some others, and then to yours. I have to say that yours was the most clearly and completely explained and illustrated by your video work. Your repair was also the most professional looking of all of them.

[@kathrynw6373]

BEST demo I've seen dealing with this problem. Thank you

[@pjmasksfamily9059]

I have to comment because that video was actually so informative and well done. Thank you!

[@FACELOWNER]

Brilliant.!! just what I was looking for, clear, precise, good old fashioned know how. Thank you.

[@saabmagicman2588]

Mr H my pleasure

[@patrickhynes6058]

I agree - great simple instructions! Used your video to repair a seam on the back cushion of my boat. The existing thread was in pretty bad shape. When I tried to tease it out to have 1 inch on each side for the tie off the thread was disintegrating ... but at least I managed to get a little tiny bit out and was able to at least tie a single knot. Great video!

I guess Im kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch new series online?

@Dexter Ishaan Thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!

[@colbyjames1]

This is the best video I’ve been able to find. Straight to the point with a clear view and good description. 👍🏼

[@B235RViggen]

Fantastic tutorial. I have a growing open seam on the passenger inner bolster on my Viggen. I will go to a crafts store to get a curved needle and thread to try this over the weekend! Again, thanks for the priceless advice!

[@THEJET52]

What? This “ tutorial” is by far limited.

[@gregwayne6785]

Thanks much. Just bought a BMW that needs some work on the seat bolster. You gave me the confidence to attempt the repair.

[@Inbria]

Thanks for the tutorial, I have fabric car seats, but it will be the same way of sewing. I have curved needles and strong thread and I feel more confident to do it myself after seeing your tutorial video.

[@sunnyballet]

I used this on a leather couch. Your instructions were easy to understand.

[@saabmagicman2588]

glad you found the video usefull

[@badboymowersofnorman6011]

Thank you, you did a perfect job of teaching. You had the camera set great. You literally saved me 400-500 dollars for new bass boat seats. I can do this now. Thanks!

[@toyotas4ever]

Great video! Simple and informative. Thank you for posting this. Fixing my seat now with confidence.

[@jamiesmith6838]

Hey Saab Magic Man! I just seen your SPG on Scotty! I've always loved Saabs! Had a 9-5 Aero! Fastest car on the road! Comfy, roomy and economical! They were always technologically ahead of the pack. Only now the big 3 are using what Saab started..4 cylinder Turbo engines! I still miss Saab. I was sadden to see them go.

[@robertwee3882]

Thanks .....you've made my day bro ....now l can fix that seam that's been bothering the crap out of me ......cheers mate

[@santanalopez4258]

Used this video for repairing original torn threads on 65 Chevy impala headliner, work amazing, thank u

[@graycemorris4163]

this saved me bigtime works great i have fixed 3 seams so far but i am sure will be with me the rest of my life thanks so much

[@dreamer04ag]

It definitely is a tedious fix, but it does get a little easier as you go... and my 2008 9-3 seat looks as good as new! Thanks!!

[@kconatymd]

Allison G glad that I could provide the inspiration

[@bissmik5]

Thanks for the tutorial! I have two big rips on the driver’s seat that I got from kneeling on the seat while fixing stuff.

[@saabmagicman2588]

Michael Carrizosa thanks, good luck with your repair!

[@annylemmy6843]

Thank you after soo long trying I just mended my sofa in 10min.fantastic

[@andylelewski4966]

Thank you! This helped me repair a few boat seats.

[@saabmagicman2588]

Andy Lelewski glad I could help!

[@Howie262]

I saw you on Scotty!. I’ll be doing a huge leather repair on my driver seat on my 2000 Saab 9-5. I’ll probably have to get a whole new square butt piece and sew it in. the leather on the car otherwise is in great condition and still going. Thanks for the Saab content.

[@toby0884]

Thank you for the easy to follow process.

[@Allahguest]

Good job, it was exactly the idea I had to restore my sofa and you confirmed it thanks

[@kyriakosmaridakis8139]

Best tutorial on KZbin

[@leanneroundtree6441]

Thank you!! You just saved me a headache and an arm a leg of money.

[@MartinMortgages1]

Great. I have two front seats on my old XC90 that need repair and this is the perfect solution. That will save a couple of hundred!

[@kconatymd]

Good, I hope it helps

[@CavanalK5]

Thank you for taking the time to give a great tutorial and film it for others. I’ve got a mower seat repair to tackle and this gives me confidence in doing it myself.

[@carlotta4th]

Ooh, burying the tail is a fantastic trick, I usually just tie like 4 different knots and then cut it short but it's definitely way better to leave a tail so I'll adapt to your suggestion in the future!

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

This was exactly what I was looking for to repair a split seam in my in-;awe’s leather sofa, and I don’t even own a SAAB. Thanks!

[@richardcrocker539]

Hi I own a Saab with a ripped seam on the seat , I will be following your directions , thanks great vid.

[@hijab63]

Great work! I have a leather tote bag I will try this method! Thanks for sharing

[@SKWDMDYT]

Amazing suturing technique, Should have been a plastic surgeon on the side. Will use your technique on my newly discovered open seam on BMW leather seats.

[@sjeverett75]

Thanks. Now I can my truck seat.

[@danilo352]

Will give this a go soon. Thank you! Suggestion: it would have been nice if you slowed down again for the part in which you tied the knot, but I think we get the idea. Thanks.

[@armondtodd6969]

Nice work!

[@TheMrjetdoc35]

Pretty work!

[@TheChardygirl007]

Excellent video thank-you. How do I bring the edges closer together while sewing them please, any ideas?

[@kconatymd]

just pull the threads tight one small section at a time

[@TheChardygirl007]

@@kconatymd I’m going to give it a crack but honestly, I can’t imagine it’s going to end well. 😆

[@firefly17292]

That was perfect thank you

[@vanessachavez4948]

Definitely going to try to attempt this. Bottom of my car seat busted open 2 inches want to close it before it gets bigger

[@wheresfrankie]

Thank you, going to go buy the hook needle today, I must of ripped my seam by nearing on the seat to look beside the passenger door from the drivers door looking for something.

[@Tonefiend]

Thanks! This is great info. Is it possible to repair leather that’s come apart at the thread holes?

[@saabmagicman2588]

yes. You need an awl and make new holes and use those.

[@Tonefiend]

Saab Magic Man Great thank you! I was thinking about reinforcing the leather somehow but that would be much easier.

[@FreeChavez]

Beautiful. Thanks for the knowledge! Subbed 💪🏽

[@ХочуМиллионвСША]

Thank you! It’s awesome !

Perfect...... Just what i need to fix a Dodge Ram seat

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[@rickolivasone4790]

beautiful and thank you

[@cuatdpump]

Thank you Saab Magic Man

[@stompcity4085]

Really useful thank you 😊

[@brettfrantzen7425]

So I saw your link on the kit from Amazon , is that what you used ? Will need nose be fine to help fish thread through ? If the holes in the leather are broke , do you make new ?

[@saabmagicman2588]

TBH, it’s difficult to find strong curved needles. If holes are broken, you need to make new ones directly behind. In that case, a really strong straight needle is best. Needle nose pliers work fine.

[@shentech22]

Amazing imma try this thanks

[@Ryleegirl04]

Awesome! Thx.

[@paul1x1]

Thanks it works

[@valirnikenchangaming3010]

Thanks

[@Iamalwayscorrectfu]

My rip is similar but the holes for the old stitching are ripped, what's the best approach?

[@kconatymd]

make new holes far enough back that they won't rip out.

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

can you do this to fix rips in the middle of the seat?

[@kconatymd]

Any seam, yes

[@gianpaoloalbanese6202]

Top notch!!

[@warren1953]

Legend.

[@THEJET52]

What about a HEAVIER LEATHER seat (Rav 4) where seam came apart (driver seat) and is 1.5 inches apart? The gap is a lot wider; Not this soft leather with hardly a gap. Do your Principles apply to my situation? : wider tear, hard/ thick leather, where thread holes are absolutely visible?

[@kconatymd]

works fine for heavy leather.

[@zc4090]

Perfect 👍

[@eminbc]

Thank you. Now I can fix my ottoman. Just wish you had slowed down you end-tying technique.

[@michael931]

Is your day job Surgeon? You make those knots very fast.

[@zakjj8204]

thank you appreciate it

[@jxh02]

Looks like you had this cover out of the car and removed from the cushion. Is it possible to do it in the car?

[@kconatymd]

yes Jim, it can be done in car; just easier to demonstrate in the video out of car

[@nicklaswilson745]

What if there are two threads on each side?

[@clementjjeandel2002]

Are you surgeon ? You use some surgical stitches !! Good job

[@saabmagicman2588]

clementj jeandel ha! No, an anesthesiologist!

[@chocomojo9552]

Ooooooooooooooh.... That's how it's done...

[@NeverMetTheGuy]

The joke's on you; I'm gonna use this to repair a VW. Boom.

[@kconatymd]

Haha, Saabs don't have the market cornered on split seams, good luck!

[@michelelong2986]

Double Boom...taking care of the Volvo!

Hey there! Where in Birmingham do you get your upholstery done?

[@saabmagicman2588]

I do some of the work myself, but for larger things I use a shop in Pelham "Super Upholstery Team"

[@wadiighoumari2816]

Merci

[@jtmacready]

anyone have an idea what a repair like this would cost to have a pro do it?

[@MrGeorgeferreira]

Fantastic..nothing shows.

[@brettfrantzen7425]

Well, bought a sewing kit and tried this .. epic fail .. I have a classic 900 and the leather is to thick from how you showed . I can’t get the curved needle through the next hole . Further the kit was cheap and the needle broke ! Oye .. the demo makes sense just my seats don’t allow this ..

[@kconatymd]

Just make all the holes bigger. Take a tapered punch or something and push thru the holes to make them bigger. A really sturdy straight needle will do the trick then. If you are not pushing the needle thru the holes that are too small, it will be easier

[@pedrx_v9323]

This happen to my 2008 Saab aero so disappointing that this can happen
