It was more the fact that I just wanted to see if I could actually sew them. I thought they turned out pretty good for a first try, so I went with it. I think I could have got away with softening the vinyl with a heat gun to stretch it over the ends, but I did not have enough to do it in one piece. I've been using a Singer 4452-heavy-duty-sewing-machine that I bought at a local Joann Fabric store. It has been working out fine, but I really would like to find a Consew or Juki machine if I continue to do my own upholstery.
