El espaldar ya está listo, lo que me está demorando son las guías de plástico por donde pasa el cinturón de seguridad. Es difícil conseguirlas. Se ocupa de una nueva medida. Mejor ya decidí hacerlas de unos pedazos de lámina y forrarlas en cuero. ¡Muchas gracias por ver estos videos!

I feel happy this video is useful!

Cechaflo Yes, I am happy for you and for you

It is great you are doing your own upholstery jobs!

Ochipwa Greenspider I wasn't thinking about selling it it worked good when I got it and I put bigger needles in it and now the needles r hitting a little I need to a just it I have about 700 in it if u r still interested my email is browningkd@yahoo.com maybe we can work something out thanks

Thanks for kind comment!

Estimado Johnny, la 'cinta de carrocero/cinta de papel' si funciona muy bien en algunos proyectos. El 'vinil elástico' que todos conocemos estira a lo ancho de este material y la piel también se estira a lo ancho. Este método práctico funciona muy bien si queremos hacer algunos trabajos de precisión. Los diseños pueden cambiar a gusto personal o del cliente, pero si es necesario hacer ciertos 'insertos y cortes' que van ayudar a dar forma a la pieza abultada. Es importante también que la 'espuma base' esté en buen estado y con cierta 'dureza' para que resista a la forma que tiene que dar...el 'alma o marco de tubo de metal' tiene tambien mucho que ver para ayudar a 'vencer' al cuero y dar al asiento/espaldar la forma deseada.

La tela que usa crees que es vinilo? Pensé que era una tela especial para hacer patrones

Es el mismo 'vinilo' colocado al revés para marcar por la parte que trae la tela de refuerzo.

Muchas gracias, como siempre, por mostrarnos sus impecables trabajos y por sus consejos tan útiles! :-)

Si la funda vieja está en buen estado y no muy distorsionada, si sirve para sacar los moldes y nos ahorra tiempo. Al momento de colocartlo sobre la mesa, hay que aplanarlo porque va a tener muchas partes 'abultadas'. Lo importante son los bordes y los 'puntos de referencia' para hacer las uniones de costura.

I was used to English system 1/2" of an inch allowance in the past then I changed to metric system and now I use 10 mm allowance for seat covers and others. Both are good.

Hello Walker, I want to share some useful related information other masters and I commented on the Hog Ring Auto Upholstery Forum USA: Try out and look for the best one of your choice. Patterning Techniques: Normally, by using a pen, I first draw the required design on the cushion foam. The patterns I would get would be with the real measures I already marked on the foam. I use two ways of patterning. One is by using 'stationery cardboard' in case of '2D flat designs', but if I'd have to pattern '3D irregular designs' I'd rather use 'stretchy vinyl'. In both cases to keep them steady attached to the foam I use upholstery pins or some points of yellow glue. All of the patterns should match one in front of the other and I should not forget to mark where is necessary the 'alignment marks or notches'. Why do I use 'stretchy vinyl' as a second option? I use it in case of rounded areas, so I could stretch a little the material and pin there to not let it move. At the time of sewing procedure, I would stretch the material a little to make the 'notches' meet one in front of the other. After having these 'real measures molds', is time to transfer them to 'real material (vinyl, leather, fabric, etc.)' not forgetting to add the 'seam allowance' that could be no less than 1 cm or 1/2 of an inch. If i want to preserve these mold for similar jobs, I could transfer them to a 'thicker cardboard or thin sheet of metal'. If more sophisticated, in case of laser cutting machines, I would transfer them to a computer. I also have used in the past, the way of attaching the material to the seat by using upholstery pins and, directly mark with a tailor chalk or waxed pencil on the material giving it the required seam allowance. This method is valid but not so precise. Cesar Chavez Patterning techniques: I find template patterning material works best. It's available on 6 ft x 100 yard rolls. Its somewhat clear but doesn't stretch or distort . Use a light mist adhesive to hold. I draw guide lines and designs on it with a china marker . The pattern can be saved for future projects. Eric Gordon Patterning techniques: Ditto the plastic. I actually do 95% of my patterning with 1.5mil clear plastic. I know it's not for everyone but it works well for me. If anyone is interested I'll do a how to pattern with plastic. Just let me know. Andy Laird Patterning techniques: I use the actual material I'm upholstering the seat with and pin it on the very edges but if I need to pin the material anywhere other than on the selvage I'll use scrap vinyl for patterning. Naseem Muaddi Patterning techniques: typically buy a huge roll of 4mil plastic from lowes or home depot. works good for patterning wide carpets for boats (over 10' beams) Adam Gabriel Patterning techniques: Been wondering how everyone prefers to pattern their pieces. In school, they taught us to draw lines on the seat, then pin or glue scrap vinyl down. Then go around peeling up the vinyl and transferring the line underneath. This is how I've always done it. I've seen some people use clear vinyl, even someone who puts down masking tape, draws lines, cuts the tape on the lines, and adds the selvedge. What's your preferred method? Jason DePinto Patterning techniques Self taught here, but I learned to do it the way Wayne described. I put pins in the panels and make my pattern that way, especially for the custom jobs I get from time to time. Phillip Aldridge Patterning techniques: I use differents material/methode, depending on what I have to pattern. On motorcycle seats, I generaly use tape to save time. On car seats, I use transparent plastic that I lighttly glue to hold. I use calico on convertible top. Jean Luc Chanay Patterning techniques I was taught to pin the material to the seat and chalk on the edge or crown of a curve (be sure to add your alinement marks). Add your selvedge and cut it out. Wayne Munro Patterning techniques: I’ve always used that template perfect that doesn’t stretch but have since moved to the light gauge clear plastic and like that best. Clinton Morton, 8 months ago Patterning techniques I mark out the desired design on the foam and then pin clear vinyl on. My wife gets specials and coupons emailed to her from Joann fabrics. Every few weeks she'll get one for 60 or 75 % off 1 item. I'll use that and buy a whole role. Comes out much cheaper than any of my suppliers Michael McKean Patterning techniques I use a transparent plastic foils in which suppliers send me the material - it works well, it's thin so it can be archived in office files ... and it's free, I don't have to buy it anywhere (and I recycle - I save nature ;-) ) Jan Pokorny Patterning techniques I use calico usually depending on the job but you guys have given me some extra ideas Michael cullen

I used the stretch vinyl method to make the templates. It works out well too. As mentioned in the other video I used the 10 mm metric system allowance. I also have used the English system in the past, but I feel more comfortable with 10 mm for seam allowance.

@@Cechaflo oh cool which video was that in ?

Please, iff would have a picture as a sample I would be glad to give you some ideas.

Es vinil estirable automotríz colocado al revés con el find de marcar mejor y sacar los moldes de las partes. Por su ligero estiramiento se adapta a las formas abultadas. Al quitarlos recupera su forma plana. Al colocarlos sobre el cuero solamente habría que aumentar el margen de costura que es de 10 mm de ancho.

Estimado Marco, por el momento solo tenemos los videos de youtube. Muchas gracias por ver estos videos!

Thanks for watching these videos!

Very important for somebody who is really devoted to do this job as an income and provides services to a client. I only share what I do and enjoy in my free times.

I used cheap stretchy vinyl for the templates. The cloth backside is on top to do the pen marks.

@@Cechaflo how much do you add before you see it. I add a quarter inch. But I find that easier consider my machine is a double needle.

But I only use a single needle when I'm working on motorcycle seats.

@@livefree4143 I add 1 cm for sewing allowance.I mostly use this metric system as standard.

I'm stay with standard till I need to be more precise. But that's my upbringing.

Sorry for delay in answering I have been off line for a while. Regarding upholstery orders, to the moment, I am not doing particular jobs. I am just working on the youtube videos in my free times, sorry.
