I’ve been taking upholstery classes since 2018. My main teacher is a master upholsterer. But the way classes are set up with students working on various projects, it’s not possible to get this kind of detailed overview instruction. (Instead it’s just happening in the moment step by step without a great deal of explanation which is ok except that my learning style requires this kind of overview) These videos are extremely helpful for me to review the steps of projects and to see the big picture. I greatly appreciate your making and sharing these videos!

If you're not removing the Staples but you're cutting through them, does it not leave sharp edges that would overtime perhaps damage the new fibres?

Hi there! No it cuts them clean at the wood so there’s no sharp edges when you run your hand over them. And if you do feel any, you can hammer them down. You also shouldn’t put fabric directly on to the wood, you’d have foam and dacron before the fabric.

I’ve never reupholstered anything in my life, but I’ve just claimed a beautiful wing backed chair for free. It needs reupholstering.

@faceliftinteriors3 жыл бұрын
Hi Julie - you can upholster over old fabric but I wouldn’t really recommend doing it. I find carefully stripping off the old fabric and using it as a template to copy on to the new fabric an easy way to make sure you have enough fabric and the right shapes for the furniture. But it’s not an absolute no no to upholster over old fabric if you feel more confident doing it that way...unless it’s leather, I wouldn’t upholster over leather 🤣 I’ve recently uploaded a video on how to use the old fabric to cut your new fabric - here’s the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e96TosV517aWm40.html I’m planning a video soon to show how to upholster wings of a chair so hopefully that will help too 😊👍🏻

Hi Kathryn! Thank you so much for watching and for subscribing, it really means a lot! So a collar is a piece of fabric that you sew on (in the same fabric as you’re upholstering the chair in) to assist you around bends or corners and stops the fabrics gathering up. You usually put them on inside backs.
