Ba dum tsh 🥁🤣

I fell into a lens grinder and made a spectacle of myself.

That’s what I like to hear! Thank you so much for watching and good luck with your project!! 😊🙏🏻

Glad to have helped! I have had to work on many scratching posts! 🐱✂️⛏️🧵🪡

Hi Renee!! Do it!! 😊

how did you get on?

This is exactly what I like to hear! Thanks for watching and I'm so glad it helped you 🙂 Congrats on the chair!

It was a great choice! Thanks Julie 😊

It's horrible. Very old fashioned.

That’s really kind, thank you Renee! Definitely give it a go 😊

Ahh thankyou! I'm glad to be able to fill in the gaps for you! Thankyou again for your kind words and support 🙏 ☺️ 📎📐⛏️🧵✂️

Love to hear this!! Good luck with your stretched chair 😜 but you’re right, it is basically the same! If it’s a round love seat, I have done a video on one of those in the past - have a look and see if you find it helpful 😊👍🏻

Thanks a lot Ryan and thanks for watching! Go for it, everyone has to start somewhere 😊👍🏻

Indeed, Very blessed to be able to do what I do. Many thanks for watching🙏⛏️📐🧵📎✂️

Thanks Joyce ☺️ 🙏

Thank you so much! And thanks for watching, it’s really appreciated 😊👍🏻

Thank you so much for your kind comment, it’s really appreciated!! Thank you for watching my videos, I’m glad you find them helpful 😊 Of course, if I get a Victorian chair in, I will definitely make a video for you! Love to Puerto Rico!

That’s really kind, thank you!! And thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 😊🙏🏻

Thank you! 😊👍🏻

Glad to hear it 😊👍🏻

That’s what I like to hear! Good luck!! 😊👍🏻

Thank you! You’re right Christine, I absolutely should be doing that!!

Haha thank you! It does take the pain of removing each staple individually away 😅

Thank you Elizabeth, that’s really kind 😊🙏🏻

Many thanks for your kind words. Hope you find someone or give it a go yourself. Best of luck and thanks for watching 😊 🙏 📐⛏️✂️🧵

Hi Marian, the collar is a bit of fabric sewn into a curve or shape to allow you to pull on without causing wrinking or puckering. Thanks so much for watching! 🙏📐✂️📎⛏️🧵

You’re too kind Luigi, thank you 😊🙏🏻

You’re too kind, thank you Kim 😊🙏🏻

🤣👍🏻

Thank you, that’s really kind 😊🙏🏻

🤣 that’s a very technical way to check it don’t you know!

Ahh thanks Caoimhe, I’m glad you find them helpful 😊

Hi Albert! Yes, I did have plans to make a video like this in the near future. Keep a look out for it over the coming keeps 😊👍🏻

Hi Albert - the video for cutting and sewing for reupholstery is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e96TosV517aWm40.html hope it helps!

Hi Ann, that’s very kind! Thank you for watching 😊👍🏻

Thanks so much 🙏 😊🧵✂️⛏️📐

Thanks Caren 😊🙌🏻

Thanks mate 😊👍🏻

Thank you Patricia! 😊🙏🏻

Thank you for watching Karen, glad you found it helpful 😊🙏🏻

I’m so sorry I missed your comment Gillian! I would go for the Bambi Silent compressor, it’s the one I use and it’s a good compressor. And I use Tacwise guns and they’re really reasonably priced and work great! For general upholstery I use 8mm-10mm staples and then for places like outside backs where you’ll be stapling into more than one fabric I use 12-14mm staples. Hope this helps 😊👍🏻

It is a lovely fabric, the customer chose well 😊👍🏻

That’s really kind, thank you! 😊

Thank you Anya!

😊🙏

Thanks so much for watching John! 😊👍🏻

Hi Christine. Any upholstery supplies will be able to provide this, or alternatively ebay might be a shout. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏☺️🧵✂️📐📎

Thank you for watching!! 😊👍🏻

Hmmm sorry can't think of what you mean and have re watched the video. Can you send me a screenshot? 💪⛏️✂️🧷🧵

Hi Job, Many thanks for your kind words. Will do a video on this as soon as we get one in. Many thanks for watching 🙏⛏️📎✂️📐🧵

Hi Amy, Hope this helps?! 🙏😊⛏️📐📎✂️🧵kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m91pdc90zbCUo6M.html

🤣

Hi Debbie! Thank you so much for watching, it’s really appreciated 😊👍🏻 I think you’ll struggle with an upholstery fabric with a standard machine - you could try but without a walking foot that helps to push the fabric through for you, it may be really difficult!

Thanks for the reply. Maybe have to have a rethink. 👍

You might surprise yourself 😉

Thanks so much Michelle! 😊

Good luck with your project!! 😊👍🏻

Hi Heather, we just released a video on Collars so I hope you may have seen that now. 🙏☺️⛏️📐✂️🧵

Approximately 6m! 👍📐📎✂️⛏️🧵

Thanks for watching Sasha!

Hi Mia, years of learning I Guess. I do have a video on tools etc. I will link a few videos below that would help explain better. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNV0ndt037qRZ4E.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qq2Uoat3uqjWfmQ.html

Hi Mika! Thank you for watching! Unless the springs are completely broken you should be able to tighten the springs with webbing. But this does depend on what kind of springs they are?

Thank you Shaila! 😊🙏🏻

Sure thing! Thanks for watching! 👍🧵📐✂️⛏️ sunburydesign.com/collections/autograph-velvets/

Cheers Reece 👍🏻

Thank you for watching! 😊🙏🏻

Hi Laura! Thank you so much for watching my videos, it means a lot. I uploaded a video on the tools I use and recommend a little while back - here’s the link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qq2Uoat3uqjWfmQ.html 😊👍🏻

And any questions, let me know and I’ll try my best 😊

Thanks Laura! 😊

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.

Hi Andrew, some people leave the old fabric on when doing reupholstery, however I always advise to take the old fabric off as its not good workmanship to leave it on. You can also use the old fabric as templates and taking off the old fabric shows you how the original fabric was fitted. Hope this helps 🙏 ⛏️🧵📎📐✂️

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 😊👍🏻

@@faceliftinteriors thank you, you’re a great help. I’ll be brave.

I would yes! If you are new to this 🙏🫡😊🧵⛏️📎✂️🙏

@@faceliftinteriors thank you for replying

Hi there! Yes I am planning on doing a tutorial on how to do a seat on a sofa/ chair so I will be getting that up soon 😊👍🏻

Thanks Joanne 😊 I’ve replied to your other comment with info on the fabric!

Hi Elle, It's heavy duty spray adhesive ! Most upholstery suppliers will have them, and this chair took about 6m of fabric. 👍⛏️🧵📎📐✂️

@@faceliftinteriors thank you 😊

Sorry for delayed reply - I’ve made a video on foams to use, here is it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMiWm9eDtZnLeYU.html I hope this helps 😊👍🏻

Thanks mate 😊👍🏻

Hi Josh. I call them carpenters pincers but I believe they’re called soft grip pincers!

Hi there! Apologies, I’ve made a fair few videos where I’ve shown how to make piping I worry that things get a bit repetitive. Here’s a link to a video where I show how to make piping - starts at 10:10 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLOXfbqqqtvRh30.html

Thank you Mark 👍🏻

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. I explain them in a little more detail in this video but I think I will need to make a video specifically on them as I haven’t done that yet kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKqblL13xtWRco0.html

I hope this is helpful! Thanks again 😊👍🏻

Hi mate! Good to hear from you, I hope your well too and business is going good 👍🏻 Me and the family are well thanks mate. The fabric is by Sunbury called ‘Cavalli Guava’ - it’s a really lovely fabric 👍🏻

Ive just sent a email asking how much mate, recovering our settee soon 👍

Hi there! Yea stripping down furniture is not easy - especially if it’s old furniture as they tend to be made with solid wood, which makes taking out staples a lot harder (but the furniture does last longer!!) I have uploaded a video where I reupholstered an older chair and removed the springs and replaced with webbing - here’s the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gKqblL13xtWRco0.html hope this is helpful!

@@faceliftinteriors oh I know that’s my favorite video but the way my mind is set up I’m thinking the webbing isn’t strong enough 🤭 so I place a flat plywood for the bace

Hi Alex - do you mean on the sprung unit? Nails had already been used to secure the unit so I also used them. But you also screw them 😊👍🏻

@@faceliftinteriors Thanks! I just never trust nails to hold.

Hi there! Sorry for the delayed reply. This fabric retails around £45 a metre and you’d need around 6 metres to cover. And then depending on whether you do it yourself or get an upholsterer to do the work will depend on their labour costs.

@@faceliftinteriors Thank you for coming back to me. That’s about what I expected.

Hi! I use adjustable trestles so I can alter the height as I need it. Hope this helps! 😊👍🏻

Hi there! 9 times out of 10 I do the seat last so you can staple off the inside arms and inside back without having any springs and foam etc in the way. However, it does depend on the design of the chair as sometimes you’re not able to do it this way.

@@thecamoflaugemetaldetector1661 Thanks! Thats what I thought.

Hi Jean - around 5-6 metres 😊

Hi Clarrie! Thank you for your comment. Yes unfortunately when filming on my own it is hard to get the right angles without my rather large head getting in the way of the shot 🙈 this is something I am really aiming to improve with my newer videos!

@@faceliftinteriors it was still a really informative video, and great to watch someone at the top of their game sharing how they achieve such a perfect result. I've subscribed. 😀 It wasn't intended as a criticism, it's just that I was nosey enough to want to see more.

@@clarrieflavell8543 that’s really kind of you to say, thank you Clarrie! 😊 no offence taken at all - I like to take all of the viewers points on board to improve the videos and you’ve definitely not been the first to point it out to me, so I’m trying to get better angles and shots so you can see what I’m actually doing 🤣 Thank you for subscribing, it means a lot!

Hi Chris! You should be able to get them from any upholstery suppliers 😊👍🏻

@@faceliftinteriors Hi ok thanks for getting back to me

Hi Joanne, thanks so much for watching and for your comment 😊👍🏻 We would be able to source it for you if you’re from the UK? Send me an email and we’ll help. Neilbanyard@faceliftinteriors.co.uk

@@faceliftinteriors thank you will email you in bit 😁

Hi Rita! It was actually on the bottom of the curve of them arm and then you put another one on the bottom of the inside arm. Sorry about my large head getting in the way of the shot!! 🙈

@@faceliftinteriors thanks. Love your videos...

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it 😊
