I don't have any process pics, just before and after. I took about an inch of thickness out of the middle of the seat and built up the front a bit before recovering. 1/4 inch sew foam under all the vinyl. #277 thread for top stitch. Really liking the Consew 255RB-3

PRO! nice and are you having any problems with that machines feed dog marking the vinyl?

Thanks!

No problems marking, the feet I have are smooth on the bottom.

Nice work, looks great.

Thanks!

It does look great!

That looks fantastic! Nice job!

Awesome I like how the piping wraps down the side and runs underneath
I give it a 10 for style points.

I think that is just a powerful deep Top stitch giving the illusion of piping.

You are correct. Still gotta give it a 10. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments! There is no piping, both layers of vinyl have 1/4 inch sewfoam laminated to them. I trimmed the foam on the side of the seam that gets the top stitch right down the seam before top stitching. And left the foam on the side that gets topstitched. I guess an easier way to say is the foam is not trimmed on the quilted piece and trimmed after assembly but before top stitch on the non quilted pieces. I think that's what plumps up the top stitching a bit and somewhat give the appearance of piping.

What thread do you use and where do you get it?
