I so enjoyed watching this video. I also appreciate the notations of the product description you use. "A mile later"..."the right way, the wrong way...my way", I'm still laughing. Thank you!!
Another great tutorial. As always. Thank you for posting this one Bill. PS; I can't believe after all these years, Mrs. Clause is FINALLY redoing the breakfast nook! 🥴😉
Upholstery done well is a true art form...this work is just beautiful. So neat and precise...I would love to work in a shop like this, I know I would enjoy doing this work. Wonderful relaxing video to watch. 👍
I have chairs like that with a cut out for the legs. Is it possible to upholster the seat pad and still get it to fit in the space. Do you have a video showing how to upholster the seat pad and still pop it back in the chair. Previously it was 'seagrass' but my cat has destroyed that and so I would like to reupholster with fabric but unsure how to work round the cut out areas.
Do you have a go-to source for ordering parts/accessories for your Consew machine? I have an old Consew 230 and I'm looking for a double welt foot. Also, what size welting do you normally use? Thank you for your great instructional videos...the added humor is a plus.🤣
How much fabric goes into one chair (seat and back)? I have a set of four "frames", albeit without the convienent recessed design on the back. There are screw holes from the top and bottom, not sure how that would work with your style of reupholstering. I learned a lot! Thanks!
This frame has a recessed tacking area. Depending on the recess, you could cut 1/4 plywood, upholster them and glue/short finishing nail the upholstered panels into the recess.
I take it this was being done on the cheap, which might explain the lack of springs in the seat, the use of a plywood panel as a seat base and the way you covered up the detail on the top of the front legs. If those were my chairs you would not have a happy customer.
@BeatusLepus I said the details on the TOP of the legs, not the front face of the legs. Look at the "before & after" image and webbing would be more comfortable to sit on than plywood.
This upholstery wont last....if you staple it and cut it THAT close to the staples. You could have stapled that fabric AND folded it under and stapled it again under the seat... This is more of a quick fix/sell w/out actually thinking about longevity and quality of work done...patchwork job at best. Might as well just used superglue.
I have a couple times upon request. For awhile I used a commercial fabric guard. My biggest client only uses guarded fabrics now, so I don’t bother with it.
