Tips For Sewing Ultraleather:

• Ultraleather Is A Very Slippery And Stretchy Fabric. When Sewing Panels Together, The Bottom Layer Will Feed Faster Than The Top (In Most Cases) Even If You Use A Walking Foot Sewing Machine. We Recommend Using Seamstick 1/4 Basting Tape For Canvas & Upholstery (#104167) To Baste Seams Together Prior To Sewing. If Sewing A Cushion, Be Sure The Double Sided Tape Is Far Away From The First Stitch So It Does Not Show Up When The Cushion Is Complete And Turned Right Side Out. If You Don’T Want To Use Basting Tape, Use Wonder Clips (#121876) And Add Match-Up Marks Along The Two Panels Every 12 To 18 Inches To Ensure That You Sew Panels Together Without Stretching One More Than The Other While Sewing.
• You Do Not Need A Specialty Needle For Ultraleather. A Standard Size #16 Round/Sharp Point Needle Works Great.
• You Should Use Nylon Upholstery Thread In A Size V-69 Or Smaller. Since The Fabric Stretches So Much, The Nylon Thread Will Give And Take (Stretch And Go Back To Shape) When An Occupant Sits On The Cushion Or Upholstered Piece. A Polyester Thread Will Not Stretch Enough. This Should Help Prolong Your Fabric’S Life At The Seams.
• We Recommend A 4Mm To 5Mm Stitch Length When Sewing Ultraleather.
• The Upper Tension Should Be Reduced As Much As Possible. It Is Wise To See A Little Bit Of The Thread Knot On The Bottom Side Of The Fabric. This Will Almost Eliminate Wrinkles And Puckers That Naturally Happen When Sewing A Seam.
