Introduction
You will learn to do simple threading and sewing in this guide. The tools needed are scissors, an upholstery needle, thick thread, and Fray Check.
What you need
-
-
Clamp each side of the tear with a safety pin or binder clamp to ensure it stays tight while you stitch.
-
Thread the curved upholstery needle with extra long, double length of thread in the same color as your car seat’s fabric. Tie a knot with the ends of the double thread, opposite to the needle.

Are u kidding me??? That looks like crap! I guess it looking similar to before the tear appeared wasn't part of the "how to repair car upholstery" article... silly me...
Maybe do a segment on 'how to repair a side view mirror" and then just duct tape it on!
Thanks for your contribution 👍
Well said Megan. I 100% agree with you. That is the worst fix example I've seen!
Well, it's not pretty, but it's exactly what I was looking for to repair an old, beater pickup truck seat.
