Thanks guys.
@BigRig I see now where a video on what to sew up first would come in very handy! I just winged it and used a little common sense.

Finally started sewing on the Pete seat. Just got done making the back plate. I finally just made time to start on the upholstery and now I know how much fun everyone is having. :laughing:

I'm going to say 40's to 50's based on the spring construction and nails. But it's just a guess

Maybe @kl4bidn can help with this, she recovers furniture.

No problem and thanks for the info on the wrong size foot, I'm using an odd size cording with biggest foot I have that may not be big enough and that's probably my issue as well.

I haven't tried adjusting the pressure on the foot, I've just been mashing the material down as it enters the foot. Skipped stiches only happen to me when I am using a welting foot and sewining 4 layers of Naugahyde. Is that true with you?

@B + M I don't think your problem is a "Juki" issue. My machine, not a juki, will skip some too sewing multiple layers of vinyl plus cording. I have found if you press the material down and compress it as much as you can as it goes under the foot the skipping goes away. The thread is bein...

@Cale
I read right past where you did what I said to do lol. Yeah that's the only way to do it since the shifter boot is cylinder shape. I had the same issue when I was trying to figure out to make one for the Peterbilt then I decided to to put a zipper up one seam.

@Cale
What you can do is sew a top stitch on each of your last two pieces to put together and put them together with a blind stitch then it will look like you did a French seam on all seams.
