Has anyone made a center console cover for a fire rescue boat. It is a 35ft Boston Whaler Justice.

I haven't had to do a bench seat in a couple of years. Anyone know off the top of their head how many yards to do complete. It has the fold down center console. I think it might be a 98 or so. I was thinking 3 yards. I may be way off. HELP!!!

I did call her on Sunday night to tell her they were done and told her it would be a good day to deliver on Monday since she is closed so it wouldn't interupt with customers.I told her to call me and let me know and she called me at 2 on Mon and said that she text me and said she would be at the salon from 12 to 2 and she wanted to know why I didn't show. I never got her text and she said her son would be there painting and that is when she dropped the bomb on me.

It took me a week to get over to her shop since I was so backed up. I got somewhat caught up and I had some help over the weekend so I figured I was doing her a favor by kicking them out by Monday.Not the following week, I put her ahead of a 22 piece Bayliner that the guy just called and offered to pay me an extra hundred to make sure it was done by the end of Aug. I can't figure this business out. It goes by Muphys law for me. And if you get the job done quick its either hurry up and wait or the other customers are breathing down your neck before the due date you told them. Car dealers, the absolute worst. I had one sell the car at the auction without the seats and told me he changed his mind after I had them almost done. Anyway I came up with a new saying last night that I think is great and here it is WHY GRIN AND BARE IT WHEN YOU CAN BARE IT AND GRIN !!!!!!!! show your ASS!!!!!!!

How about a customer that you have done several jobs for calls you and asks you to stop in that they have salon chairs to cover. You go see what she has and she even adds one morewhen you go over to get the deposit. You pick them up at her house because she has extras in her garage and the only thing she has said was take your time. I took that as I'm not trying to rush you as I picked up 6 total on Sat. Monday comes and I go to deliver them since she is closed on Mondays for the summer and she informs me she can't pay me till next month. She says thats why she said take your time.What was I suppose to saywhen she said that? Why, Because you don't have the money? I think she should have made it clear that just do them a little at atime. She knows I don't have room to store them. She has been here before.Puts me in a bad position financially.

 Anyone know apx yardage to upholster hydraulic styling chairs and dryer chairs for a beauty salon.

 WOW! That's all I can say. I am so impressed. I had never seen  these before and I am always looking for something new to try. I just can't believe how nice they look. Can you email some info on how to make them? I googled it but I think there are a few ways and looks like you have quite the experience

These are vinyl seats straight from the factory with foam (was) backing on each piece. The foam has disintegrated and this is the result from the glue from when they applied the foam. Kinda like the mess from a headliner.I do a lot of dealer work so I know all the tricks about restiching and hittin the same holes but this vinyl wont even feed through the machine without getting the foot and the feed dog all gummed up. Just for further reference if anyone gets these seats you know what your in for.I do live in Fl so I don't know if the heat is a big factor.

I am inserting a set of 2002 vw bug seats and the glue on the seat foam is unbelievable! I washed the pattern pieces with thinner and my hands a hundred times. I told them I couldn't reuse the boxing on the backrest because I knew it wouldn't feed through the machine good enough to hit the same holes being they were topstiched. Anyone had this problem before? Price needs to go up next time . It also isn't too good on the machine either.

I have a costumer like that and I swear that I never work for them again. It seams like they catch you when you are low on work. I thought of ways to avoid them and I thought the next time they called I would tell them I was booked up and the soonest I could squeeze them in would be a month. Most people want work done now . They don't want to wait. A lot can happen in a month and by then they have something else that is more pressing.

can you be more specific ?

If you go to sea rays web site and go to the archives you can download the specs. I sent you the page to your e-mail.
