Your videos are very interesting, informative and impressive plus a bit of humor added in the mix.
One thing I find interesting is you don’t need reading glasses after doing this work for so long.
Happy 4th of July!
Hello Clint, Happy Independence from British rule day! I appreciate all of your kind words! Glasses do help sometimes. Please keep liking and watching!
Rudy, excellent tutorial. I love your humor. Making stitch pattern samples is an excellent idea for any upholsterer, especially guys and gals just getting into the trade. It familiarizes the upholster with the stitch techniques and gives customers a portfolio of patterns offered. Not everyone is going to sit and do an entire '65 Cadillac bench seat with white pearl vinyl in capitone. But do a 24"x24" sample board and the customer will know you can do it.
Hello JJZ, Thank you so much! Exactly! I keep a sewn sample that i do show my customers so that they will have the confidence to know I can do the work. Please keep liking and watching!
You’ve reignited my interest in upholstery and stitch designs. So much valuable information you’re sharing. Thanks Rudy much appreciated 👍🏻

How do you measure a bench seat for a c-10 pickup truck??
Hello Sam, Most materials come in a 54 Inch roll. Just grab a measuring tape. I usually order at least on extra yard so I don't come up short. Please keep liking and watching!
Hey I have to say to everyone saying this is great, yes it’s great for the average DIY person. To be a professional you should measure out diamonds every time to ensure they’re square. Doing it the way done in the video will result in uneven diamonds. If you want a stencil for a certain size measure then draw them out and punch holes just big enough to get your marking tool through to mark the points of each diamond them you can correctly repeat the diamonds each time by connecting the dots. Also not every job need the same sized diamonds, you also should be asking the customer their preference. And no you should still wait for the glue to set at least a little, they call it contact adhesive because you’re supposed to let it dry and then press it together, if you don’t the bond will not be as good. Sorry not sorry I went to school for this and have been doing it for a decade since. You want nice looking diamonds do not use this method.
Hello Burn, Like I always say, there is more than one way of getting things done. All lines were measured. You can see my 44 years of work here: Rudolphsupholstery.com You have 34 more years to catch up. 10 years is nothing. Just sayin'. Please keep liking and watching!

Its a bit sad that your Camera is trying to focus all the time. Makes it a bit hard to watch. Maybe try to video from above where your face is not in the lenses way left side of the frame.So that the cam will stay on your hands/material.

Could you please explain how to set up the machine for pleats? I’m working with leather and 1/2” scrim sewing foam and am only getting pleats on the bottom, it’s quite flat on top?
Hello User, I give you a lot of credit as you are actually doing something. I don't think it's the machine. It sound like the foam you are using is too soft. Especially for thick materials such as leather, I would use a heavier high density foam. This will give you the shape. Please keep liking and watching!
I have just discovered your channel, and have binge watched a ton of your videos!
Could you give us more info on your swing machine please?

Hello Hotrod, Happy Independence from British rule day! We are Americans! Please keep liking and watching!
as a technical tip ... you should just focus at the distance of the table and turn off auto-focus. You only need it when you're moving w the camera. Otherwise..? It's a liability.
Hello Truman, I hope that you might notice, I try to focus more in my latest videos. I had to figure out how to stop the crazy auto focus. Please keep liking and watching!
Are you in Texas. What sewing machine would you recommend for a novice. And any idea to get a used one at reasonable price. I did the seat in my pickup using my wifes singer. Thank you for the videos they are great
Hello James, You are so welcome. Yes, I am a proud resident of East Texas. Sometimes used sewing machines can be found at upholstery suppliers or on Craigslist at Marketplace. All you need is an industrial machine with a walking foot and reverse. Also a welt foot. Please keep liking and watching!

Man...wish I could get away with not changing needles. Ha! (Garmets of different fabrics. Ehhh) Although my serger has been running the same #16 for at least a year. Shhh.
Hello Tom, Yea, I don't need to change any stinkin' needles! Please keep liking and watching!
Dang, one day too late. Just did my first diamond tuck project (a round top mechanics stool) and didn't know how to get it all centered up in the pattern. Now I do. We can call the first one "experience!" I had made an oversized pattern, and then cut the circle out of it. Would that have been the right way to do it? I have two round top bar stools to do, so now I know how to get the pattern centered. Will probably wail until my new machine comes in next week.
Does it matter what size the piece of vinyl is when you start, as long as you start the first two lines 1" from the sides?
Hello Big, The nice thing is you can make it as big as you want, no limits! You know, the second one always comes out better than the first one. Please keep liking and watching!

Hello CT, Yep, yep. You know I am Old School. I never really paid too much attention to that kind of thing until I had to with the CZcams channel, Hehe. Please keep liking and watching!
I do like the 1/2" scrim as it adds definition to the work piece and some extra comfort if using the medium density product. When making a metric comment, like 1 mm left or right, remember that 25.4 mm = 1".
Move the decimal point one space to the left and you have 2.5 cm. This is a measure Dr's use in length of stitches to a healing wound. So add the multiples from (example) 5 cm, you have 25.4 X 2 = 50 mm or 2 inches. It is not hard. Folk in 2023 that are younger than age 60, may not know the a peanut farmer in the Whitehouse tried to move school to teach metrics only. But during Middle East conflicts wanted everyone to drive slower, so instead of 70 MPH, highway signs were change to 55 MPH. When Jim Cater left, Ronald Reagan had it changed back. Cars, truck and semi tractors were not gear to run efficiently at 55, but 70. All the land was happy! Otherwise, we would never had Sammy Hagar in Van Halen sing "I can't Drive 55". and history was made. So, if you buy a 1980 motorcycle, the speedo may top at 55 MPH, that's why. Great video and excellent lesson. Besides, the people in our neighborhood can drive 25 MPH, but 55. They are all more important to me because my car insurance goes up due to speed, wrecks and value...so wear seat belts because glass doesn't taste very good!

Hello Richard great lesson. When you switched to the thicker thread. Did you keep the bobin thread the same?❤❤❤
Hello Leo, Thanks pal! Yep, I never change the bobbin thread size. I just reload the next bobbin without thinking about it. Please keep liking and watching!
Rudy i found a juki ddl8700 with servo motor walking foot. Would this machine be good for upholstery?
Hello Leo, I am not familiar with this sewing machine. If it is an industrial sewing machine, you should be fine. Please keep liking and watching!
Rudy, what model juki are you sowing on?? Love you work!
Hello Leo, Thank you so much for saying so! I use a Juki LU-2810. Please keep liking and watching!
Rudy what juki machine do you recommend for upholstery I'm a beginner but want a machine I can grow with?
@@leomartinez2367 Hello Leo, Really any new or used industrial sewing machine with a walking foot, reverse and a welt foot will do. Please keep liking and watching!

Don’t get me wrong I love your channel, but why are you holding back on sharing what’s the best glue to use? In upholstery using the best glue is a must. Especially if you’re going to be putting leather on wood, metal and plastic. I get the feeling like you’re holding back. Like with the double diamond technique. I’m pretty sure there’s some kind of math to it that you didn’t reveal. If you’re going to help your viewers help them don’t steer them wrong. And I’m only saying something because I’m a CZcams junky and I know and watch all the upholstery channels and I can tell you in this video your holding back. Which is cool and you have that right to do so, but smart people like me will catch it and stop watching. That’s just my opinion.
But here’s the link to the best glue I know of for upholstery. MAKE SURE ITS THE WHITE/BLUE CAN ONLY

Hello Paper, Thanks for hanging in there with me. I never hold back. Maybe sometimes in the making of the video I may have forgotten to say something. I have several videos where I mention that I only use Weldwood contact adhesive for everything because I get a lot of people asking about glue over and over again in the comments. As far as drawing out the diamonds, I did show how make a template. No rocket science formula or math there. Please keep liking and watching!
Thanks!
