- In this easy DIY video, we'll teach you how to add foam to a plain wooden barstool and upholster it with quality vinyl fabric. Our DIY method creates a beautiful topstitch along the top and bottom of the stool. Plus, our clever design eliminates those annoying wrinkles on the underside of the stool that have to be stretched and stapled flat. Let's get started on this easy upholstery DIY.

Great video, I've learnt plenty and really love my Sailrite machine.
It usually depends on the day, some days are hard others are nice and easy. Thanks for your kind comments.
Amazing content. I am going to go try this exact step on a circular ottoman
Wow! I am so excited to have found this video. I have four stools that were given to me, I wanted to make a cover for them. This video is perfect for what I want to do. Thank you so much!
You are welcome! Hope they come out great!
Great tip with the staple flange.
Thanks. Glad you liked it!

This was very informative and well done. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the video informative and well done. Your support means a lot to me!
I often need to slip covers over foam, and as you say, they can be a little stubborn. I use a very fine plastic similar to "Saran Wrap" to facilitate the process. The plastic is called "silk wrap" and is a big help. Your videos are excellent and have helped me with a wide variety of projects.
amazing skills and tutorial - lots of respect from india.
thank you, always great tips
Glad you like them.
Next level professionalism and great video production

Muchas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos súper explicado
Great video - thank you!
You are welcome!
Thanks for sharing this video.
You're welcome! Just doing my part to make the world a better place, one CZcams video at a time.
I enjoyed your video, I have just started sewing odds and ends. I believe a vent hole in the wood could help the fabric from scratch.
Very well demonstrated. Thank you.
That was great. It looks easy though it probably is not. You did a beautiful job tutorially. I think I will try this as a hobby this summer
Thanks for your kind comments.
Love your company, products and videos. 👍
We are so glad you like them! Thanks for your kind comments.
Very helpful Sir!!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found it helpful!
great video. thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate your support.
Nice video👍 a plastic bag makes getting the cushions in way easier and just leave it there or pull it out
I am going to do this for my leather shop. Going to look at one of those machines as well. Thank you.
I finished my two stools. Thank you for this!
Very nice tutorial thanks
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad I could teach you something without putting you to sleep.
Great info
Thank you so much! I'm glad you found the information helpful. Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see in future videos.
So nice video i am from India
Cool 😎
Thanks!!!
Good vid. What’s the rule for using a wrap or batting?
Thank you. Im getting ready to recover my stools. This is perfectly explained. Any tips on how to sew a curved back stool cover?
Glad it was helpful!
Another great video! Just curious, though - i would have thought that since you cut the banding with a half inch overlap, the seam allowance should have been 1/4". Is that to keep the banding snug? And would that work with a non-stretch fabric?
Thanks!
Thanks!!! Yes, we want the banding to be slightly smaller in height (after sewing) to keep it snug for a better tight fitting look. Yes, it should also work for a non-4 way stretch vinyl seating fabric as well.
Plain hacksaw blade works perfect for cutting foam.
That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing!
I don't feel any aggression I will listen and follow
That's great to hear! It's always important to approach situations with an open mind and a willingness to listen and follow. Keep up the positive attitude!
Great tips, but don't you need to drill a hole or two in the bottom of the stool to allow the air to escape? Otherwise it would be hell on those seams? Beautiful job.
Good tip!
Will these instructions apply to cloth covering too?
Yes, they should work for cloth also.
I have a very cheap music stool with a tall side wall and very little foam. I want to add 2 inch foam, which would make a 6 inch sidewall. Would this process still work well? I'm guessing it would.
Yes, it should still work out great.
Did you use a special sewing machine?? I have a regular sewing machine like the one that your mom would use when you were a kid... I have five bar stools that I bought with a round bar that has the looks of a bop belie stove. Great video, WOW, learned ALOT.
Yes, we used a Sailrite Ultrafeed LSZ Sewing Machine found here: www.sailrite.com/Sailrite-Ultrafeed-LSZ-Walking-Foot-Sewing-Machine-110V However, a home sewing machine may still work for this type of application. It always depends on the quality and working order of the home sewing machine you own (so it varies greatly from machine to machine). To determine if a home sewing machine can sew thicker fabrics perform this test:
Cut up a pair of old blue jeans into four layers (not including the jean’s hems). Since a home sewing machine usually can’t handle a thread larger than v-69 (Tex 70) use something comparable and try to sew through the 4 layers of blue jean material. If it sews well and the stitch looks good on the top and bottom side of the assembly then chances are you can use your home sewing machine for small to medium jobs.
Thank you for your time. I will try what you suggested with blue jeans. Thank you again.@@SailriteDIY
Hey, what size of tread are you using in the video. Is it standard "40"?
Tex 90 Polyester Thread.
Can something like that be made using a house sewing machine?
It may be challenging to feed the seating vinyl, but yes if your home sewing machine works well it may be possible.
Why do you guys keep calling your company Sayre-Rite. . . . . . It’s Sail-Rite !
When I'm Sifu when I'm sifu I know something or the Sultana is around
I appreciate your support and I'm grateful that you took the time to watch my video.
"Sew this to this"....translate: Sew the flange right side to right side of the seat.
In other words "outside surfaces are facing each other".
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Well, I'm flattered!
Very good tutorial.
Glad you liked it!
