If you have been stressing about how to start learning upholstery, we are ready to push you into the deep end. Watch me show Laura how to get started by doing the absolute hardest part... removing the old upholstery and staples.
Furniture upholstery is one of the toughest professions. Few people respect the profession. As far as pulling staples I have always used a pair of needle nose pliers with the tips ground. For me it was the fastest and easiest. Our upholstery shop was open for 80 years. I appreciate that you’re still doing it with the mass production of new furniture being so cheap. The hours and skill it takes to do a job correctly makes it hard to compete . Good luck.
