After doing this on my car, I gotta give a few tips: 1. Be careful with the hook tool because if you poke at the string itself, you can damage its integrity and potentially cause it to break. If your string breaks, just start a new loop and make sure you tie the end of the broken string and tuck it under the wrap. 2. Make sure to start early during the day. I had to go back and forth because I didn't tighten the string correctly. 3. Make sure the steering wheel is wrapped tightly or you will feel it when you start driving again.

Well done and informative. In the middle of my install and here's what I've run into: - the website says to use the circumference measurement of the largest portion of the wheel, like the palm swell. I did that but you end up with way too much material to overlap on the smallest portion of the wheel. I had to put in a 2nd set of holes on one side and trim off 1/2 inch. - the needles are brittle. I broke one trying to bend an arc in it like someone mentioned which is a good idea to make it easier to push. The needle snapped but I was able to use the stub that was left. That was until I used a small pair of needle nose pliers on the eyelet end to push it thru and the eyelet end broke. On to the 2nd needle supplied. I stayed away from the eyelet end with the pliers and it seems a few of the holes were tight causing the eyelet end to flex and the 2nd needle broke, with one side of the eyelet breaking off. The needles are way too brittle. - on hold until I get another needle or two at Hobby Lobby if they're still in business. - the website shows using a single strand of thread and this video shows the thread doubled which I did for strength. You will NOT be able to do the entire wheel with only one piece of thread. You'll have to splice the second piece of thread onto and may need to cut it back so the splice is hidden on the underside and not on the exposed portion of a loop.

Just for ya all, the way you stich it really comes down to how you want to look it. There are several ways how you can do it, this is most simple way what doesn't look best, but looks good enough and makes job done really well Then there are those fancy stiches you can find on factory cars but they require lot of experience BUT then again, you really got to think about whenever you want to make it look good as well as functional or just functional I am planning on doing this to my gaming steering wheel as I got one from my cousin and factory wheel doesn't feel best, have this smooth plastic with rubber grips on sides so I wanna protect rubber as well as make it more grippier to make better turns with truck Either way it all comes down to preference so if you want something what suits you, nobody can really learn you that, you got to just commit and if you do lil oopsie then learn from that and do it again until you're satisfied, never satisfy with just half job done but do it the way you want it really to be

Nicely done, mate! This is the * only * video I have seen with someone sewing through the holes in the steering wheel cover. With all the other videos, the narrator is just sewing through thread that is already attached to the cover. That seems like a really bad design, as it would be easy to rip the old thread with the new thread. . Here is a tip for everyone. I have a * curved * needle. This is easier on your hand, as you have more to push against. You're not constantly working to grip a narrow, straight needle. Of course, any fabric store will have curved needles.

Again a very very good observation & that is l just noticed you didn't mention after unfolding the thread bundle & putting thread through the eye of the needle the thread seems to be a a Double thread pattern and not the typical single thread pattern for soeing and that's how the double thread can be tied into a proper double knot ,It appears you forgot to mention a very important step for stitching covers like this because the DOUBLE thread design works dually as a tightener and a holding thread. You just simply said now you thread the thread through the needle without saying what's actually happening like now you thread the DOUBLE thread through the needle.

It has not become loose or floppy at all.

Hi Stefanie - if there are humps in the wheel, the cover manufacturers recommend that you order a cover large enough to cover the humps. i.e., when measuring, don't measure the diameter of the skinny part of the wheel - measure it at the thickest part of the hump. You may also want to make sure you are getting a higher-quality genuine leather cover that will stretch a little more easily, so it can match the contours of your steering wheel better.

This looks very monotonous especially going back with the tiny pick tool and snugging each thread stitch up again, Too bad someone couldn't figure out how to do the thread 1 time and be tight 1 time,Or a Self tightening thread pattern leather hole method.

Hi Sabrina - I chose blue specifically because it matches the exterior color of the car. You can choose any color you like, of course. Thanks for watching!

That's not the right way. You should see a tutorial. It comes with two needles to be able to sew simultaneously, with the traditional V shape. This is achieved by crossing from the first front hole to the second rear hole, while the other needle starts in the first rear hole and goes to the second front hole. In addition, it is not crossed from the outside in, but from the inside out, so that a herringbone pattern is formed, leaving the threads much less exposed, and at the same time providing better tightening since the threads of both needles overlap on the inside.

I bought this same kit for my 1998 Dodge Van and will be doing this job in a few minutes so, thank you very much for your tutorial. Your video was very clear and to the point.
