In the process of redoing my seats. I got the basic pattern all together. The only problem i'm having is trying to figure out how to sew where 5 peices of material comes together at a corner

5 seams :eek: good luck with that! Youtube has some good video's on sewing seats but I don't think I saw anything as complex as that, but might be worth checking out. Maybe an upholstery shop might give you a pointer on making the corner. Good luck.

From my limited upholstery experience, I've stapled each fold as it was made versus all at one. As each section is pulled into place, staple that piece securely, then do the next.

But you're asking about sewing.

Do you think it will ever really be secure in that design?

small hole??... through some 3M 5200 on it and after it sets up, mold it into a patch.

Sorry, I don't have any real ideas
