🔸 Lately, 'french seams' are a kind of trend on most car interiors. Let's name it on the seats, dashboards, consoles, door panels, etc.

That is why I did not want to be an exception on my MBenz office chair project I am still carrying on.
In fact, the MBenz OEM seat as mentioned in previous related video managed short stitches and a distance of 7 mm from line to line of stitches.

I have set up my post bed machine to the distance of 10 mm. I consider it as a standard measure.
This time, I used the old covers as templates, but not directly because they are somehow distorted. Then the idea is to transfer them to cardstock paper. Fortunately, it worked out well. I do not trust 100% percent of this method. I'd rather make my own templates from scratch.
I hope you find some inspiration in this video!
