Re: Interior tips!!

Just my opinion but i don't like top sewn pleats. They look OK but to me it looks half done. because that is the first step in true tuck and roll. although for a first project you could have some fun with it.There is also presewn diamond patterns too.
I have fun every time I do any stitching.

Re: Interior tips!!

You can do a lot with foam and glue, 3M super 77 in the big can has a three way spray tip, that headliner was done in 1998.
