Hello all
I have a first gen consew 206rb and I've reupholstered the seating faces of both front and rear seats of an IH Scout II.
For the rear seat (which was in pretty good shape) as a bit of an experiment I unpicked the seat and died the side naughahyde black, and added a layer of sunbrella on the seating surfaces. For the front seat I used new vinyl material for the sides and was able to sew the seat seams inside out feeling the piping through the fabric so the piping foot ran along the interior fabric, sewing through the piping .
This wasn't easy but I got it done. for the rear seat I'm having lot of trouble getting all the layers of material into the throat of the presser foot and following the piping edge through the 'inside out' material. I sewed the piping to the seating face and am now trying to attach the sides.
What techniques do people use to sew the piping 'blind', do you use a bigger piping presser foot to compensate for the extra material or is there some better way?
Thanks
