I'm looking to get a new stapler. Does anyone have a choice brand they like better than any other?
relief cuts are my friend , sometimes I just really have to work with material to get it to lay the best you can sometimes its the way you cut it out. Materials will have a little more stretch in one direction.
I have a cheaper version of one, I cant remember where I got it. it works well on some things and pulls the staple completely out without having to go back and use pliers to get the staples out.
make sure to do relief cuts on the curves and corners don't force it or hold it tighter , cause that will cause your stitches look different and not even.
are your relief cuts on the stitch side. not on the outside?
Good information. I'm going to check this foam place as well. Thanks
@LLeeT Yes I do the same. I Usually use a thicker thread on the French seam .
I have an 1984 Porsche it is going to be a complete redo foam material and design ! But its mine!
Think I would use clear vinyl draw out your own panel! if the foam is good.
changed the needle > tension set right ? is thread good no rot in it ?
I will check them out! i like tools for sure.
