I use the 3M super 77 also but it’s supposedly not as good at standing up to high heat as the stuff the pros use.

Here’s a cover i made for my truck. I couldn’t complete this on a home machine but a local shop sewed the last stitch for me. He said the one he had made for me took about 2 hours and he charged me $150. Mine took about 2 weeks and cost me about $50. Lol. Huge learning curve!

that cover looks great, and the price was right.

the learning curve is a nightmare! i sewed my own piping, kept forgetting how to sew the joint between sections of piping, then the joint ended up on the wrong corner because i put the passenger seat cover on the driver seat frame, so the seam is visible when you get in the truck... ah well, it's a rock crawler with a thrashed interior, if i can find some core seats with good foam i'll do it all over again, better, with more decorative stitching like you did.

i probably tried half a dozen different spray glues, they worked o.k. for foam because foam is so porous, and i used a lot of glue... it's gluing the foam to the upholstery backing that was killing me.
