Amy, you always make it look so easy. The sign of a true professional! Thank you!

@hattedbyhatter 4 года назад

That last piece was just what I needed for how to finish the corners on a seat! Gathers not folds! Thank you

@endoskeleton99 5 лет назад

I have watched tons of videos on vinyl upholstery.... all crap until I came upon this one! This is by far the best video on doing vinyl there is. Thank you so much!

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio 5 лет назад

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

@atvseatexchange2176 4 года назад

I do atv seat covers and the corners have been my biggest challenge for the last 10 years. Reviewing other techniques have gotten me this far but I can look at corners a little differently now, thanks.

@elfpimp1 Год назад

I'm doing a $5k job on a yacht for just one room and EVERYTHING she says is TOPS. And that staple remover is the BEST especially if you have to remove the old vinyl without tearing it up if you need to use it as a template for od shaped cushions..

@elunedmoseley2269 5 лет назад

Tutorials don't get better than yours Aimee - I've just finished watching all of them - fantastic xxx

@leroyjenkinz9791 Месяц назад

Appreciate the video. I've been tasked with doing 6+ tractor seats&this has been informative.

@alanmorris4550 3 года назад

Finally, The much needed help that I needed. I am a very good teacher. So is She. Adding the material difference is the key to an excellent result. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

@benkoopman178 3 года назад

I've seen a few DIY vids on this, and yours is the best. I'm doing up a set of barstools, and this helped a lot!

@handsome3370 2 года назад

OMG....You came into my life the at the right moment.....redoing the seat cushions on beautiful solid maple dining chairs I bought as dining table set. The table and 6 chairs were bought 10 years ago for $4500...I was able to buy second hand for $500 which were in mint condition. The seats were done in a ugly flower fabric so I bought some 4 way stretch faux black leather to redo. I followed one video doing pleaded corners but did not work well on the first cushion I did. Your gathering method makes so much sense. Thank you so much. Cheers from Canada Bradley

@thomasdsmith7678 11 месяцев назад

You are the queen of the corners. Thanks for helping me refresh my skills.

@Marine-iu3ev Год назад

Just happened to see your video. I am in the process of upholstery the seat and back rest on my John Deere tractor. This is a big help, wish we were neighbors. Very good video.

@katieritchie3460 3 года назад

Great video, thank you. Since watching have done two boat seats and both clients over the moon Xx

@SavingMyFoot 5 лет назад

I recovered my stools following some of your tips, everything turned out great!!! I even posted me doing it in my latest video...of course I gave you credit and shared your link the description... Thanks for the tips!!!

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio 5 лет назад

Awesome! Thanks so much

@lindagojak5409 3 года назад

I covered 4 of 11 bar stools with vinyl and struggled with curves and corners. This was my savior. Using the hairdryer to soften the vinyl IS GENIUS!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

@frankfrank6541 3 года назад

God bless you.

@tommiejones1072 3 года назад

I love the juxtaposing of flannel shirt, butterfly apron and animal print chair seat. Your a diy lady like me, skilled, loves your comfy clothes, and still a girl at heart.

@anorenbergs 4 года назад

The thinner the vinyl the more cracking it will develop later. Cracking usually takes place around edges of armrests and on the sides of cusions. I do like your videos. Great work there. Thank you.

@kashav8727 5 лет назад

Fantastic video. I agree with Terry. I've watched plenty and this is one of the best ones thus far.

@dsparr1010 2 года назад

Omg Amy you are GORGEOUS! 😍

@trtrvdcv 3 года назад

Well after about 70 thousand tries and running out of staples because I had to pull so many back out I now know how far I can frisbee my seat base and it's roughly 67 feet and then a truck ran over it and broke it. So there's that and really good tutorial btw and I'm not gonna quit my day job.

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio 3 года назад

🤣 Thanks for the laugh! I know I’ll never be out of work

@rachelannemcloud6754 2 месяца назад

@patriciarobinson5909 2 года назад

You make it look easy! But possible for the rest of us!

@MartinTurnerBassist 3 года назад

thank you so much. Agree with others, have seen so many videos on 'how to' but this is clear, concise, explanatory (without telling a life story) and personable.

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio 3 года назад

Thank you!

@elfpimp1 Год назад

Investing in a upholstery air stapler will make your life a heck of a lot easier when you need ridiculous accuracy 😁👍I have one like hers AND the specialized one. And they're not even that expensive. Anywhere from 20 to 60 dollars depending on where you shop..

@mathewtva 3 года назад

I did it! Thanks for your video. A few things I learned. - 4-way vinyl is expensive. For a non-circular chair seat, I got away with 2-way stretch for $6/yd. plus shipping - Spring loaded staple gun was fine. Chair had T50 1/4" 6MM staples so I matched when replacing. - For the corners, you should expect and indeed WANT creases ON THE UNDER SIDE. As you work around the corner, drive the vinyl perpendicular to the edge and pull and staple the created under-side creases a couple of times (staples are cheap).

@monicapeterson104 2 года назад

Where did you find vinyl so cheap? I checked Joanns and it’s expensive there!

@emtpet 5 лет назад

You have taught me something new! VERY valuable information! I have 4 mid-century chairs that I have been avoiding recovering because I wasn't sure where to start i.e. fabric, smoothing corners. But you gave me a place to start. Thanks so far much!!! I also subscribed.

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio 5 лет назад

That’s great! I’m sure you’ll do a wonderful job

@rabiyarizvi4769 2 года назад

Same !!

@rabiyarizvi4769 2 года назад

It would be great if you could source where to get the vinyl from

@abenterprises5838 3 года назад

Good info on the vinyl. Have done several projects with marine vinyl, didn't know there was 2 way vs 4 way stretch, hum

@atvseatexchange2176 4 года назад

I came back to watch the section on the squared corners again. Getting better, thanks.

@gonzalojr596 Год назад

@REALTIME61 3 года назад

Great help. Thanks

@Timjfw1 6 месяцев назад

Brilliant thank you. So glad I watched this before I started. I would have folded at the corners and got it horribly wrong.

@izzygreenvw Год назад

Wow that was vary helpful thx . I’m going to apply this to a motorcycle seat I want to redo .

@castlevancleve838 2 года назад

Wow! That was immensely helpful. Thank you so much.

@karlkiltz1231 4 года назад

Aimee, your video is very well explained. After watching it I did my workshop stool and a highbacked office chair, both of which turned out great! Thank you!

@conniesky5361 5 лет назад

Great video! Chair #1 before your video, not so great. Chair #2 after your video has IMPROVED! Thanks!!

@davedennis6042 2 года назад

Nice work. You are very pleasant on the eyes. What a knock-out

@jimhood1202 2 года назад

Beautiful work, nicely explained. I know from experience that getting the tension as even as you showed only comes with patience and practice which you clearly have plenty of. Thanks for posting, greeting from Panama.

@davenportboatworks8139 5 лет назад

All this time I have been folding my corners. Never would I have thought to staple in the middle and then gather it on the sides. Thank you for the tip. Boat upholsterer

@Marine-iu3ev Год назад

Watched this again, really interesting. Thanks

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio Год назад

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l1TG2Dsu3SQ.html this vinyl video is not nearly as viewed, but is much more informative in my opinion, in case you need more vinyl info.

@kmgothi5 5 лет назад

Thank you so much! I'm re-upolstering boat seats. A little overwhelming..lol.. Now I'm excited

@splash5974 5 лет назад

Nice! Best of luck! Im searching vids because i also just removed my boat seats...would like to recover them aswell. But these pros make it look easier than im sure it will be... Lol Cheers

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio 5 лет назад

Have fun! Thanks for watching and commenting

@springs8725 3 года назад

Thank you so much! I have been watching your channel for a few years and finally going to do some work on our chairs.

@maverick6442 5 лет назад

@robertbourdlais8784 6 лет назад

A BBQ diner had us do 12 chairs (seats & backs) in red vinyl, no welt chord (food & goo) catcher. Did put on black bottom cloth. They had the joy putting them back on the frames 😀. Thanks 😎

U do very beautiful work I couldn't get enough of watching you do that, I had to replace my mother's seats and this was the perfect video to watch so thank you for showing me how too, they turned out wonderful by the way..

@Trini-T14 6 лет назад

Perfect timing u saved me a headache now I know to purchase 4 way vinyl. I was just in the store n left because I wasn't sure what to get.

@allongoria5626 10 месяцев назад

@pondape 3 года назад

Hey thanks! You helped me find the confidence to reupholster a cool chair, this might be a new side hobby.

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio 3 года назад

That’s great! I’m glad to hear it helped you

@johnmccann7578 4 года назад

thanks for the video. The hair dryer really helped out.

@hhmartialartscom 5 лет назад

Thank you for the video Aimee, that was super helpful!

@raymarshall2995 Год назад

@saywhat23 Год назад

Thanks for the tips!!

@kimgarrett1937 5 лет назад

Thank you so much! You are the kindest and the best teacher.

@mjremy2605 5 месяцев назад

What an excellent video! You are so pretty too, those beautiful eyes, very photogenic on camera. Interesting to see how this is done. I think we all have some reupholstering projects to do sometime in life. I have several chairs waiting patiently. I restored them on the wood frames, now just the seat covers. The tools are awesome and thanks to your tool video, now I know what quality tools to get, like CS Osborne. Many thanks for this series. You should switch to a $22 Wagner Heat Gun. If you hold a hair dryer so close to the material, you block air flow and damage the hair dryer. A heat gun has very air blowing and more heat so better for your project. It also costs less than a hair dryer and cheaper on power too. Hair Dryer 1875 watts cost $90 Heat Gun 1200 watts cost $22. fyi - Music is not pleasant to hear on demo videos. It hurts the ears and the monotonous drone is very annoying. Natural sound and silence are so soothing. No need to fill the silence with more noise. Very peaceful just to watch you, learn and reflect.

@dc4931 Год назад

Great job and video, I really learned something today. Thank you

@eldajackson1 2 года назад

Excellent video.

@verdellparentaaawink268 3 года назад

Nice and informative video, If you buy auqua text material (same material used on 4 wheelers and jetski seats with no seams) the material stretches in every direction and reminds me of the material a balloon is made of,,easy to work with ,,without using seams to contour your work makes it a lot easier

@sewndebisdream6953 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! Those little tips help huge!!!

@garypayne3455 Год назад

Aimee: May I suggest you do a video addressing bar rails, gaming table rails (roulette/blackjack/poker/craps) which will greatly expand your audience to include males. I am finding your Working with Vinyl video very helpful as it involves some of the corners and rounded end challenges that a bar rail presents.

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio Год назад

😂 44% of my viewers are male

@Papayac87 2 года назад

Excellent tips. Thanks! Not so pain in the a... after this explanation.

@davidwilson7131 3 года назад

Absolutely great video. Very well done. Visually clear and straight to the point. Thanks for all the help. I would not have known these little tricks. Thanks again.

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio 3 года назад

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it

@charleneblack2792 Год назад

The only thing I wish you'd shown is how to cover the back. I'm redoing my dining stools with curved backs, and can't figure out how to hide the staples. I watched another video with you using tacks, so perhaps I'll try that. Thanks so much for your videos!

@gototcm 3 года назад

Very helpful. I have a dining room chair with sharp corners and gathering helps but the vinyl still bunches up even after using a heat gun.

@tmgreenlee125 3 года назад

The ottoman im redoing has sharp corners as well (not rounded corners like the video). Im still getting some gathering as well - ugh!

@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio 3 года назад

You might have to cap it. You can see how to do that in two of my other videos on vinyl

EXCELLENT job! Thanks for sharing.

@garypayne3455 Год назад

Very helpful. I'm trying to share your techniques/adapted to making bar rails and gaming table (craps/roulette/blackjack) rails. Your videos have turned me around in my own efforts!

@kathykrain5574 Год назад

nice video very clear thank you

@stevejones9044 2 года назад

The flat head screw driver I used to pull staples did ok but that stapler puller would have been much better. Nice tut, thanks! [2:39] LOL!

@mrjata 2 года назад

Thanks for the help. I am planning on covering the whole interior of a 1960 chevy truck, including the very curvy dash. Not to find some very heavy clamps. Staples aren't much help on metal.. ;)

@tierneyholl20 4 года назад

Very helpful video! I am hoping to do some golf cart seats and know I need to use some kind of marine vinyl but beyond that I know nothing about working with vinyl fabric. Plus your corner trick is gold! Thank you for the quality content.
