Tips for Sewing Ultraleather:

1. Recommended Accessories: Ultraleather is a slippery and stretchy fabric. When sewing panels together, the bottom layer will feed faster than the top (in most cases) even if you use a walking foot sewing machine. We recommend using Seamstick 1/4" Basting Tape for Canvas & Upholstery (#104167) to baste seams together prior to sewing. If sewing a cushion, be sure the double-sided tape is far away from the first stitch so it does not show up when the cushion is complete and turned right side out.
2. An alternative option to using basting tape is to use Wonder Clips (#121876). When using these clips, place match-up marks along the two panels every 12" to 18". This method will  ensure that you sew panels together without stretching one more than the other.
3. Needles: You do not need a specialty needle for Ultraleather. A standard size #16 Round/Sharp Point needle works great.
4. Thread: Use nylon upholstery thread in a size Tex 70 or smaller. Since the fabric stretches, the nylon thread will stretch with the fabric when an occupant sits on the cushion or upholstered piece. A polyester thread will not stretch enough. Opting for the nylon upholstery thread should help prolong your fabric's life at the seams.
5. Stitch Length: We recommend a 4mm to 5mm stitch length when sewing Ultraleather.
6. Machine Tension: The upper tension should be reduced as much as possible. It is wise to see a little bit of the thread knot on the bottom side of the fabric. This will almost eliminate wrinkles and puckers that naturally happen when sewing a seam.
