as an upholsterer id give this video a 9 out of 10. id fold the corners a little different (not making the last cut he made) so that it doesnt pull out and reveal the cut

"It's helpful to use a 60-inch ruler (or at least a 48-inch one) in a *fart* framer's square!!"
Seriously though, this was a good video that helped me understand the basics - although in the end I took my slip seats to a shop downtown to do them for me :)

As an Upholsterer you sound like a tosser about 9/10.

@rckrackedup is there a smoother way to do the corners? I have come across seats with rounded corners which have have no pleats in the corners but I cannot think how to achieve that look....

you should pul the corner over not cut it and overlap them,,it would have looked better

all i can say is im an upholsterer and i make chesterfields the most skillfull job in the trade and this guy is rough lol
Maybe I didn't explain well enough about the corners. I cut out the extra fabric so that the corners are not higher than the rest of the seat. You don't want to see daylight between the seat and and frame. You can also put welt cording around the seat which acts as a gasket and gives a more finished look. Seats with rounded corners can be done by laying in a couple of pleats. --Ken
