This is number two at the same stage.

Blind stitching and roll edge

At the front, 4 rows of blind stitching and a rolled edge has been created. As you can see, further stuffing stitches of approx 3 inches wide was executed. This is an additional precaution and will ensure that the front edge of the chair does not collapse within the next 50 years or more.
