Welcome to the #1 Upholstery How-to/DIY Channel on RU-vid! I have been upholstering in the old world style for nearly 40 years and I cover a wide range of subjects relating to the trade. My method for teaching comes from 30 years of classroom instruction to all learning styles. So enjoy my step by step guide to Upholstery!
Thank you for this video. I was able to fix my bench after a button fell off with a bent washer and Kevlar thread. Also thank you for your other slip knot video!
Thank you for this! I have an antique bench that is beautiful but the caning is all busted out and it's way too expensive to fix so I was just going to rip out the caning and cover it in canvas but I love this idea because it felt wrong to pull out all that caning.
thank you so much for the tutorial; may I ask how is the width of the gimp and if it should be the lighter or darker version of the fabric colour ? 3m per chair is enough?
You made this looks so easy, now I just need a sewing machine! I need to make arm caps for our leather sofa and arm chair to stop the cats from scratching them. Thanks for sharing this!
I am a designer and for my masters project I've created a similarly wacky armchair. I had some reupholstery experience, but upholstering my own design is so difficult compared to what I've done before. Not a single professional wanted to touch that 😂 thanks for the video.
If you could find a way to mount your camera above your shoulder, maybe from the ceiling, it would be great! A lot of details are missed between the camera being blocked and not being close enough. Great demonstration of how to use the strips. Thank you!
Thanks a lot. This is really helpful and it’s exactly what I was looking for. I am reupholstering the seat on a Gustavian daybed and I didn’t know what exactly to do next.
Hi. Thank you for making this video. I bought a 2.8 density 50 ILD foam sheet and putting some dacron around it- i find it super comfortable with very good support. Now i am considering doing my back cushions too and thinking whether I should do the 2.6 density 35 ILD foam sheet or something softer. Do people use such a firm back cushion?
6:37 pm, I just learned about vinyl I just learned about vinyl upholstery I didn't realize I needed a special needle and thread will you be doing any classes on vinyl.
Thank you all for another invaluable (and hilarious) show! With seemingly zero vocational training available, you guys are extremely important to this fantastic craft. Thank you 🧡🧡
Thank you so very much. We had an older chair from my wife's grandfather that wasn't nice enough to pay for reupolstering but still usable. Without the button it wasn't usable for us. Your video taught me how to fix it and we will enjoy the chair for many more years!
