I had a lightning and the fabric stretched out pretty bad and rolled up. The vinyl looks pretty good on the seats, just fabric off.
Make sure it is a dull blade rips great.
@Rhonda,
I really dislike working with fabrics and I mean a lot! The fabric pulls and tightens all the time. The seats are done and do not look bad.
@Rhonda , We owned a Lightning and the material that was cloth was thin. I really do not like working with it. I even got that with vinyl on regular 10th gen F150 seats and vinyl. I would steam it down and see if it settles.
@fibersport , It is impossible to not buy the sofa slip covers from Wal Mart unless you want to spend a good deal on fabric, elastic and your time.
It is called OPEN time in which you can lift and reposition fabrics if you need too. I think if you are going to use an aersol can and want to be 100% sure of the strength of the bond I would consider Lepages Upholstery Contact Cement at Home Depot. It will tell you on the can how long you can mess ...
Amazing chair!
It is your car so you can lay the carpet in any way you want if you are not concerned about noise reduction. I only shop my supplies from Upholstery suppliers. but think you should get some advice from somebody here on sourcing your material.
Do you have a picture to post?
What supplier are you trying?
I have not heard of outdora
@Moshe , it would be my advice not to sew airbags.
@Revv Up , let me know how the new Jeffbond non flammable works if you are using it.
Really Cool
@Rhonda , That is perfect no rush work is way better!
Forget it unless your high volume you have to either lose $ or charge the customer more. Keep it simple
@LLeeT , may have gravitated towards exhaustion and took a break. You do not get those too often to work on very heavy material and work.
Is all the hardware back in the same place?
I am pretty sure very few of us on here use computers to aid our work. I know what you are talking about when it comes to cost of exact flat. I am of no help but others may be.
I will let others give an opinion on this one.
