Rich,
I understand what you were referring to, but David is saying that the
"flatter" area (bolster) all around the pleated part in the center of
the seat should be bulked up. I don't think that is correct, but can be
convinced otherwise by someone who knows what they are talking about.
I've seen seats recovered in this manner and they have an overstuffed
pillowy look to them.
Your comment that the rear of the seat bottom may need to be stuffed
with something to close up the space between that and the seat back
makes perfect sense.
Thanks for your help.
Charlie
