That's wierd post some pics and I'll check it out.
The reason my seats are so full and contoured is because I used
1/2" padding.

I didn't use 1/2" padding.. I only used 1/4" "upholstery" padding from the store, in the same locations as the factory seats, the middle of each side. I'm going to pull the seat apart as the backside is easy to remove and I will take some pictures to show you.That's wierd post some pics and I'll check it out.

i would say go to the store, like a fabric store where they sell sewing machines and ask them if they have any sewing machines that can handle thick materials.
there are some machines out there that are house hold style usage that can do some pretty think material. its just a matter of finding them. the juki machine is made specifically for stuff like this. is industry style, thats why its so expensive..... but very much worth it.

x2Wow this thread is fail. Now that it is a bidding job on re-doing car parts. Way to thread jack fellas.
upholstery machine.... your grandmas sewing machine will make your s**t come out like a pile of monkey s**t thrown in your face. although, some home sewing machines have the capabilities to handle really thick material. so it can be possible with the right setup at home.
