The demonstration done on a 'mock-up' would make us understand how to approach bulky trasmission tunnels by using 'trimming carpet' on a car floor.
This tutorial would also make us understand how 'real carpets' are done on real car floors. It also stands out how useful is the material called 'carpet underlay' which has the purpose to 'insulate' and add 'body' to the metal floor. The 'underlay material' on this video is only a 'sample'. Thicker and special materials are sold in upholstery stores.
I have used a 180 needle size and thick polyester thread 138 (number zero in Mexico)
These techniques will be done on a real car and shown in our near future courses.
If the transmission tunnel is slightly flat it is possible to carpet-flooring with no cuts at all. Just some holes and thin cuts. Most of the times we need to do these 'cuts' and do it in parts. There is no other ways, because this 'trimming material' is 'not stretchy'.
On the other hand, 'molded carpets' are 'stretchy' because they were especially manufactured for this purpose. They have a kind of lattex/rubber on their reverse side that adds hardness that becomes 'elastic' when adding some 'heat' and put are under a hydraulic press between 2 'big dies' (male and female).

I hope you find some inspiration in this video!
