Such a brilliant teacher ! In less than 2 minutes time I got a load of confidence to finally try tufting. Don't know why everyone else makes it look so damn difficult. Thanks for sharing!

[brunio]

Thank you! In under two minutes I learned more than after watching many tutorials! Great job!

This might be the best video on youtube. I have never seen such a simple perfect tutorial on something ever.

Thanks so much, this helped me repair the sofa button I damaged before my wife could notice anything!

This is a fantastic video. So clear. When my dog (or a friend's dog) "removed" a button I thought the cushion would have to be professionally repaired. For ten bucks of equipment I fixed all three (!), and just fixed one again. I usually takes a few tries to push the needle through the original hole, but it comes out like new. Thanks for posting this.

By far the best tufted button tutorial I have found - thank you! Fixed my couch cushion with minimal effort and only needed to watch this once to nail it.

[muses]

You’re incredible! This tutorial saved my couch that I love so much. Almost gave it away then I found your video! The best! Thank you so much!

[dancer]

Yay! Thank you! It was way easier than I thought. A button was loose for so long, like a year, and I didn't even need a needle.

I love a tutorial that is straight to the point! I just bought a vintage couch from the 60's and it needs a few buttons repaired. i was worried about doing it but its so simple!

[chrissandy]

Thank you so much ! Helped us fix a couple of cushions on our couch which the manufacturers wouldn’t help us with! Had never tufted anything before but after watching a couple of times we felt confident enough to give it a go with great results!!

[JGarez]

This worked perfectly, thank you!! So simple yet effective! Next step is to practice tension, but again lost a button just before selling a couch and such a simple fix saved me hundreds of dollars in loss not knowing how simple it could be❤

Fixed four buttons on the couch that my new rescue sibling pups removed. They decided that it’d be a fun game to disconnect the buttons, but thankfully not destroying the cushions or swallowing the buttons! Lol.

Thank you for this video for showing me how to fix them. ☺️

I really appreciate this information and the effort you took to explain it. It was straight forward and worked like a charm, not to mention, that it saved me a trip to the upholstery shop.

[doalong]

Thank you - perfect instructions! Only took me a couple minutes to fix and now it looks brand new again.

Second occasion where this guy has come and saved the day for us.

[hollyb.parker]

Excellent, easy-to-follow video! Thank you. I fixed my couch!

[jkutyna]

Have to replace these to replace the foam in the sailboat interior cushions. I have been stressing over this for so long. You made this look SO easy. I basically need to buy the tufting needle and thread then.

[thefryerfam]

I know everyone has said it, but this is brilliant! Thank you for make it so easy to replace the buttons on a couch with tufting! I didn’t have twine, but I used fishing line, and it worked great.

[elisakrobot]

Best video ever!! Best customer service - EVER! I emailed them about the type of twine and they sent me a yard or so for free and also included a free COVID face mask. When i need furniture again I will be in contact with them. They absolutely rock what is important - thank you Brad :-)
