Panel planning and common questions
What should I allow for in the layout?
Plan from the cover or upholstery pattern. Account for seams, material direction, placement and a reasonable project allowance. We supply flat stitched components made in High Point, NC; your shop measures, cuts and sews them into the finished cover. They are not ready-to-install upholstery.
Does backing sew foam replace seat-cushion foam?
No. Optional backing sew foam helps create raised stitched definition behind the face material. It is not the structural foam that supports the seat.
Where do I find sizes, options and matching supplies?
The individual pattern or Quick-Order product page shows the material, thread, size and backing options available to order online. Matching yardage and upholstery thread can also be selected from Carolyn Fabrics' current material and supply collections. For an unlisted size, stitch pattern, material request or coordinated multi-panel project, use the custom quote form. We will confirm what can be supplied and stitched before accepting the order.
Which projects can use these panels?
Shops use them in automotive, marine, motorcycle, RV, golf-cart, furniture and commercial upholstery projects. Placements include seat-cover inserts, door and side panels, consoles, bench backs, cushions and other decorative sections. Suitability depends on the selected material, finished construction and project requirements. Check the named product's current specifications before ordering, especially for a regulated or unusually demanding application.
