Top stitch. This is one of the oldest and is used mostly to force the material to lay flat. By using a heavy or different color thread this can make a plain seat "pop"

Embriodery. Easy to do but a little time consuming.
Piping. This can help keep a corner round and can be used for various accent reasons.
Pleats. We have a double needle machine. This makes it quite easy to do a perfect parallel line.
Chrome spots. Add a little bling. In this case it was used to continue a theme.
Conchos. A western touch.
Valance. ( sides only or full) Used to hide the shape of the side of the seat and sometimes to make it bigger to hide the frame. Also a western touch. Combine with chrome spots fringe and conchos.
Fringe as well as chrome spots concho and top stitch.
Braided edge. Something fairly new I have been working on. It is very time consuming and will probably run $150 for a seat used as an accent only.
Flames. Very time consuming to do it right. These are padded leather flames.
