#Random lessons:
1. Ran out of thread. Needed to buy more. Substituted a different thread, hopefully will hold up fine.
2. Upholstery thread is much harder to work with than normal thread.
3. End of the spool of thread was near impossible to use, due to change in tension.
4. Should have gotten softer cushions. The firmer cushion was hard to cut even with a electric paring knife. Used the firmness recommended for the Eames, but this was actually softer.
5. Exact shape and size of material is not that important, as long as the material covers the face of the cushion. It's all pulled back and stapled anyway.
6. Vinyl is extremely, extremely, extremely stretchy... must adjust everything to accommodate for that stretch.
7. Bought too much material... Probably an extra yard. Now I need to figure out what to do with that material. Used an estimate for an Eames, vs. the Eames clone I have, and there is no backing on the clone (thus less material)
8. Hardest part of this was the arms, particularly getting the welting evenly sewn around the edges.
9. Snap button didn't work, covering the old buttons and new buttons with fabric by hand was the best way to do this, and looks and works fine.
