As jpnovak sez, you can also get various thicknesses of foam-type stuff from your uphosterer supply as well. If you do leather or other heavy material that can't be done on a home machine but still want to do the stitching yourself thru the leather and thru the foam and possibly a carboard-type material (I don't think you can get thru fiberboard with this method) you can also get two hand tools from your leather-supply place (or via a mail order catalog from a place I know of) that will mark the leather with evenly placed stitch marks and then another tool called a "Lockstitch Sewing Awl" that will punch thru and "sew" the thread thru on these marks (it has a little reel that holds the thread while your punching a needle thru --- leaving a lockstitch-loop on the other side)
