I have a 5-6 inch tear in my leather sofa starting at the seam and going downward in the cushion where the sofa reclines. I am not sure how to fix it and I can't afford the $300 I was qouted to repair it by a professional.
hi see i can make out that its your fav sofa, and u didnt want to loose it. so why dont u increase its life by having it repaired by professional. else try this 1. get hold of needle big enough to go 2 to three inches deep. surgeons curved needle will be best. 2. get thread, freferrable nylon thread, again surgeons black/flesh colour thread will be ideal. 3. start from the ends where the tear is just about to widen. 4. give astich tight enough to bring the two ends of leather together and close the tear. 5. continue in a cross stich till done. 6. again at the ends give double stich. 7. then use a sticker to cover this portion. BEWARE it may leave aslight rough edge at the point of stitch. happy hunting
1. get a new sofa 2. suck it up and get over it 3.put tape on i would not recommend it but hey its your life
Look on the bright side - now you can reach in and remove the DSM sachet before sowing it up with a horse-needle.
