Well, it is feasable, but only the templates are hard to make. Today I also made some progress on the steering wheel I'm working on. It went fairly well, but the thread I'm using (from a leather shop) isn't strong enough. The thread broke about 5 times while I was handsewing . The 2 seems are also misaligned due to the tension on the leather, but I'm really happy (and also a bit proud) so far with my first steering wheel.

Well it won't have to go under the sewing machine. Here you can see how they do it.

Hi, Thanks for your replies, but I have two other questions . - Where can I buy a speed reducer or a servo motor for a good price? - Wich other affordable (= maximum 300 EUR or 420 USD ) sewing machines with triple feed and walking foot ( preferably Adler or Pfaff ) do you recommend? Thanks again! Vincent

Hello everyone, I'm Vincent from Belgium. I'm 15 years old and just bought a car (Volkswagen t2b). Me and my dad are going to restore it together, but I want do do the interior myself to save money and do it exactly how I like it. I already went to big leather shop to buy a smal piece of leather to practice to recover a steering wheel from our other VW bus. So far it is working out really good, but the handsewing is a real pain if you think it could be so much easier with a good machine, so now I'm looking for one. I already knew that I must look for a walking foot model with triple feed, but many people don't but the type of the machine or a good picture of the foot with their add. So could you help me? Here are 7 ones that are probably within my budget. (If I know the type I will put it above the picture). Witch one(s) do you think that are suitable for me? Pfaff 142-6/2B Global wf 955 Singer type 211 G156 I also have another question. Could you us a double needle machine with just one needle? Thank you very much!! Greets, Vincent
