Thanks for the info, Happy Holidays

The velcro was part of the original upholstery, the loose cushion has a center zipper on the bottom that goes all the way across the width of it, are you referring  to regular buttons or the kind you use in tufting?

What is the best way to get a loose cushion on a large ottoman (40"x 30") to stay in place? I reupholstered one recently and  I sewed 1" velcro in an L shape(each strip 3" in length) near each corner on the base and under the loose cushion. Customer is saying that the cushion keeps slipping. Should I use a wider velcro or something else entirely?

On each front corner, there is supposed to be an inverted curve about 3-1/2" long it's kind of hard to see in the photo (if it uploads) and with the welt foot can't make such a tight turn

What is the best way to to get a nice tight seam on the welting when you have small curved sections on a cushion and you can't use a welt foot? The zipper foot doesn't get as close as I need it to.

I think it is just a seating area problem because that is where the discoloration is, I tried to upload photos but could not. I did find some info on youtube, leathersolutionsintl.com, they were recommended to me by a company that supplies me with fabrics, they seem to be pretty knowledgeable about the subject

thanks for all the feedback, I really enjoy this forum maybe someday it will be easier to upload photos

Not sure, could be body oils,

what's the best way to deal with a leather sofa that has discoloration in areas? I've looked online for stain kits but I've been told that before you start you need to know what type of leather it is and if it has some sort of a finish before you select the type of product to use

I have a question on leather staining, is there any other way to post a picture besides photobucket? there are so many ads that I can't get to the actual page I need. My pics are stored on One Drive but I keep getting a message that upload path cannot be found. Please help!

It was something really simple, got the bobbin case stuck halfway out while trying to remove it, I live in The Villages, in central Florida and I don't have many options for repair people, I found one but I have to take the machine head to him, and I have back issues.
I did finally get someone on the phone that helped me to resolve the issue and by doing some research online found a set of Chapman ratchet tools that make it much easier to loosen screws.

Thanks for the info

Yes, I don't want to be dependent on local repair guy's either, I did find a website that does have some repair manuals including the one that I am looking for. It's White sewing center located in MN.

I,ve been on that webpage but all they list are operating instructions and parts diagram, what I am asking about is the repair manual
