Great little kit, used to fix van seat, worked perfectly and seems strong!
I work for a delivery company. The vehicles are mostly well maintained, except several of them have the seats coming apart by the right shoulder area. They are Ram Promaster van's. The foam keeps flecking off onto my clothes and the floor. I decided to buy this kit to sew them up myself. I'm not great at sewing at all, but I did an alright job. I was nervous the thread may not be very strong in this kit, but I put a few smaller stitches in before doing any of the complete jobs, and stress tested them by pulling at the still open seam where I'd just stitched it. None of the stitches released. And I wasn't being nice, I was yanking pretty hard. This of course may depend on your stitching job. I was going very tight with the stitches. This kit also included some scissors that are actually decent. Most small sewing kits usually have a pair of scissors that basically collapse when you try to use them. These scissors, however, are quite sturdy. They are like the sewing scissors they used at the sewing plant that makes the U.S. Militaries uniforms. (one of them) so basically professional. There are lots of other little helpful tools included in this kit. The "thimble" is actually way more useful than traditional thimbles because of the level of control it offers, being able to loop around your fingertip instead of awkwardly sit on the end (I have big fingers). After having found success with the van seats, I found lots of other little things around the house I was able to use this on; The stitching on the edge of my couch seat, the bottom seam of my hot food delivery bag, and the button on my work shorts. (too thick for small needles in most kits). I see now that the price went down by a few dollars a couple days after I ordered it, but its worth the original price I paid. One other thing: I really like the little case it comes in. Its helpful as it not only keeps everything together securely, but its flexible enough to take a bit of abuse inside of a bag without breaking. Read more
