Well, the biggest challenge were the rounded corners that frame the 1" straight rows on the main seat face pieces. The reason for the challenge is that my poor Consew 255RB does not have a high enough lift to conquer the many thicknesses, then the layers get even thicker as you are rounding those curves, which made it impossible to do in a very smooth manner. Too much tugging and stuffing under the foot while trying to tame all the layers. So I moved to another machine in the shop that has a higher lift for those areas. That machine is a Juki 1541S, plenty of lift on that machine. Thus the reason for purchasing one myself! I'm setting it all up now, today I make my first stitches on my own Juki 1541s. So excited! Now I'm ready for another curve ball or two! LOL. Quote

Each side folds forward to allow passengers to enter the back seat. Before Pic (Again) of FRONT Seats Edited April 20, 2022 by suzelle Quote
Members Spyros Posted April 21, 2022 Members Report Posted April 21, 2022 Great job, if I was the car owner I'd be stoked with this result! Great workstation for the machine too, it's nice to have that table extension Quote
toxo Posted April 21, 2022 Report Posted April 21, 2022 Great work Suzelle! I'm guessing you're really familiar With Cechaflo on the Tube? Quote

Great workstation for the machine too, it's nice to have that table extension Thanks Spyros! Owner picked up the seats, he did seem pretty happy. I'm not sure he knew who did the upholstery job, and I sure don't need the attention. I'm happy to just sit in my corner and sew! LOL. I have worked at places in my past where they want me to answer phones and make the deals. I can do that, but it does take me away from what I love to do, pattern, design, sew! I was just happy he was pleased. Thanks, yes workstation is a great start, just added a plastic folding table to the back of it temporarily. I ordered a table with wheels so I can be portable. They can move me around the shop as needed, depending on how many cars we have in at the time. I like my own little area. It's a little too close to the Boy's bathroom, but oh well. You cannot have everything! LOL. Today, I have to finish a boat interior, then the rest of the day I'm hoping to set up my new Sewing Table. I've got a couple of wood shop tables I built a few years back that are 4'x4" and 2'x4", used in my sign layout (part of my own business) and prep area. I no longer need them for that purpose, so I'm going to shorten them up to the height of my sewing table, then alter the tables to fit my new plan - dedicated sewing table with extensions. I think it should take about a day and a half to get them all ready. Then I'll have a really great sewing table and it won't cost anything. Well, maybe a couple more wheels and some nuts and bolts. Not bad! 5 hours ago, toxo said: Great work Suzelle! I'm guessing you're really familiar With Cechaflo on the Tube? Toxo, yes I just discoved Cechaflo on youtube a few weeks ago. Wow! That is mesmorizing what he does? He goes so slow, so careful and exact. Love his work. No words, just video. It's really skillful what that guy does. You only see his hands.
