My outdoor chair pads were looking pretty rough they are old but still in very good shape.............I was hoping to find some on clearance @ the end of the season but not having any luck. So I used my 60% off coupon @ JoAnn's & bought some outdoor fabric even let hubby pick it out. A few days later we found these automan's for $3 & thought we were buying two blue ones. Only to take them out of the box & find one blue & one green turns out they are a terrific match! Now the chairs are quite nice again & all done in under an hour!

It was new to me too Loralye, we were sewing on a tent so was searching for upholstery thread when I discovered it just last week. So that was exactly what I needed.

6951Nicely done, makes a great set. I wonder how you did that seam to divide the seat and back parts, could you manoeuvre the cushion under the needle? I need to cover my dilapidated cushions but don't know if I could do that seam in the middle, so I am procrastinating.

I did an envelope style case first then the fold is a crease so I just followed the line slowly I folded the seat in half & held it in place with jumbo pegs. I hope that this helps Thanks Martine, ~hugs~

Who carries outdoor thread, and what is it made of? My cushions looked bad last year and I've been too lazy to redo them or buy new yet.

well I am not sure what I can tell you but this is what it says on the thread: Coats Outdoor Polyester. It is quite a heavy thread & it feels like it has been coated with something? It was on sale but I'm sorry I can't remember what it cost? I did get it @ JoAnn's if that helps you @ all? Anyway my cushions looked really gross & now they look brand new lol worth it for me anyway

I bought outdoor thread too, at walmart, I didn't know they had it, it's 4.97 a spool at our store. It's the coats and clark brand. Colors were pretty basic, off white, green red and navy , walmart.com may have it.
