Seat seam ripping under stress
Hello,
The seat seam is ripping open under fairly extreme movement e.g. lifting foot right up to put a shoe on, crouching right down. They feel completely comfortable otherwise and look good.
Following Rory's comment on a video (can't remember which!) I always use weakish cotton thread so the cloth never rips. However should I be either making an alteration here, or using stronger thread?
Thanks!

As for soft thread, I don't use polyester for fear if the seam comes under pressure, the cloth will tear rather than the thread in the seam.
