Just as I’m watching this and you pointing out the green mark I am thinking about the green tritium sights on my guns but wasn’t going to mention that as many are so anti gun. Then as I watch further you mention how it resembles aiming a weapon. Nice tutorial, you always make it interesting and also make the viewer appreciate what it takes to do an upholsterers job. I’ve been to Texas, I enjoyed visiting there. As they say “Don’t mess with Texas” 👍🏼
Hello Clint, We can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time right? I really appreciate you hanging in there with me. Yep' lovin' Texas. Please keep liking and watching!
Ah, bueno! Very timely. Sighting as you describe it is not unlike pinstriping in that you tend not to watch the line as it comes off the brush, but keep your eye ahead, where you want to go. Now I'm going to put a little paint line in the foot of the machine, for a sight line that is more accurate. Many thanks!
i do mine the way you did those green olds cutlass seats with chalk , but i still have gotten some off not quite straight one side or other on the chalk line but i only do my personal stuff as a hobby have learned so much from you , you are a very good teacher and easy for me to understand , thank you for doing all the great videos!!!

Hello Guitar, You are so welcome! Us old school guys need to stick together right? I am sure you will do just fine with your 911.

Hello Phillip, I prescribe to you to get that first sewing machine ASAP. Even a used industrial sewing machine with reverse, a walking foot and a welt foot.

What psi do you use on your glue /paint sprayer. I've got a el cheapo harbor freight paint sprayer and it has a sticker on it that says 45 psi max. At that pressure it sputters out randomly.

Hello Arturo, Easy. I never clean my gun. As long as I often use it, the glue does not dry inside. It would be necessary to clean if the glue is allowed to dry inside for a very long time in very hot temperatures. I am busy all the time, so I use the glue all the time.

When the piece is wider than the machine neck? You fold it up, but it's trying to unfurl, hitting the body of the machine, and your machine is the old clutch style, not a smooth rheostat. A slow tap-tap-tap.... then zip! Almost straight!😉
Great tips, thanks!. I've been running through lots of "clearance special" fabric from the local sewing center, trying to perfect my lines. Question, I notice that my stitches are not straight and in line, how do you get the individual stitches straight, end to end, similar to this: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - and not like: \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (exaggerated angle). Is it the needle type or is something going on with the sewing machine that needs to be addressed? Is it possibly a tension issue? Thanks for all of your content, I'm learning a lot from you and your channel!
Hello Zing, You are so welcome! It is definitely the sewing machine and not you. There will be some of that, \\\ to some degree. Thicker thread sizes will show that. Please keep liking and watching!

Hello Martin, Sewing a strait line is much harder than driving a car strait. Just think of it. Nobody ever drives their car in a perfectly strait line. The car will always deviate left or right. Just sayin'. Please keep liking and watching!

Rudy, who do you use for your leather, vinyl, and foam supplies?

What’s kind of machine do you use? Sold my old Singer years ago. Kind of thinking about getting another machine.

When the piece is wider than the machine neck? You fold it up, but it's trying to unfurl, hitting the body of the machine, and your machine is the old clutch style, not a smooth rheostat.
A slow tap-tap-tap.... then zip!
Almost straight!😉

Great tips, thanks!. I've been running through lots of "clearance special" fabric from the local sewing center, trying to perfect my lines. Question, I notice that my stitches are not straight and in line, how do you get the individual stitches straight, end to end, similar to this: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - and not like: \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ (exaggerated angle). Is it the needle type or is something going on with the sewing machine that needs to be addressed? Is it possibly a tension issue? Thanks for all of your content, I'm learning a lot from you and your channel!

so simple explanation, but let me loose on a sewing machine hold a straight line foget about it ha ha
Hello Martin, Sewing a strait line is much harder than driving a car strait. Just think of it. Nobody ever drives their car in a perfectly strait line. The car will always deviate left or right. Just sayin'. Please keep liking and watching!
