Steering wheel stitching worn out

I'm assuming this is just a wear and tear issue, but have any of you guys had your steering wheel stitching come undone?

Not really sure how to approach the repair on this. I know someone on here did a restitch with blue thread, but I'm not sure that I'm that handy with a needle and thread.

An automotive upholstery shop may be able to do something. How tight are you gripping the wheel...lol

Yep, like stevesnj mentioned, an upholstery shop would be your best bet.

OR find a lady friend that is handy with a needle and thread ....... good luck with that ....

Like mrs humfrz is always nagging me ...... "when are you going to cut your fingernails" .....

Not that hard, but the stitching was always seemingly more worn there, even when new. I think it's because when I drive one handed, that's exactly where I push on the wheel when I turn....
