Everythings possible! I'm gonna try my hand at it (maybe this winter) and re-do my seats.
Basically, I'm going to remove the current seat covering and use it as a pattern. I'll need to choose a cloth obviiously and practice.. practice.. practice..
Save your pennies and buy a machine made for the job! And they aren't cheap!!! I picked up a very old unit (all metal) with the foot controls and some attachments to do designs and I thought i was lucky to get it for just under 500! A local upholsterer says he'll buy it for what I paid when I'm done with it.
Like painting my car, I bought a book, joined a forum and listened to the pros.. there are always tips and tricks to pick-up and after a while, when you see other rides you can tell how a certain part of the job was done and it gives you more ideas etc. etc. etc...
I won't be doing counted stich work for awhile 8-).. but I'll work hard to make it pleasing and it'll look great to me!
