    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.

    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!

      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. The best thing you can do for yourself is sew through a machine to learn. Imagine watching all the videos how to drive a car. Sound silly now doesn't it? Remember learning is doing!

    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.

      Seats aren't a problem, but headliners are crazy hard.

    When sewing double lines, don't you line up you needle punctures with the first line?

      Hello Stanley, I line up the stitches for a French seam by the seam itself, not the stitch on the other side. Please keep liking and watching!

    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!

    Tailors also use chalk but the really flat an square ones which might be an option? Maybe they've never heard of chinamarkers eh?

    ok hello i have a question nothing to do with this video so i bought a spray gun that has a cup to pour glue in but its a hassle to clean up all the time what do i need so i want have to go thur this hassle

    • @oldschoolautoupholstery
      @oldschoolautoupholstery  Před rokem +1

      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.
