How to Sew Steering-Wheel Horizontal Junctions - Car upholstery
Some of my users have requested me to show a way to approach the horizontal sewing junctions done on a steering-wheel rim cover.
Genearlly these junctions are done both sides on the upper part of the wheel.
An adjusting plastic clamp is useful to align, mark and make 3 to 4 mm cut on the rubber rim. A cavity is formed around the rim where the short seams (3 mm approx.) will house into, in order to get, a plain surface on top (vinyl or leather)
The junction edges (vinyl or leather) are cut following the contour of the recess done on the rim.
The issue to approach is that we need to sew a concave edge to a convex edge. On a regular basis the concave edge should be sewn down to the convex edge at one go. A mold in vinyl would be of great help to get an exact measure, hence, a precise sewing on the real pieces.
I hope you find this tip useful!
