I don't know squat about fixing furniture and am a total clown when it comes to crafts. Thanks for the videos. I used a German needle, some twine, and clasps to fix a button that I had no idea how to fix since I cannot access the back of the sofa. Great job!

Thanks to courage you have given me, Kevin I have begun ​reupholstering my antiques. My Best Friend & I've completed an 80+ yr old leather chair, 100+ yr old saddle-seat chair & 4 complex barrel shaped dinette chairs. We are working up to a lovely match-booked mahogany sofa w lion paw legs. I haven't figured out the Slip Knot yet, but nothing can stop me.
I can't imagine a more patient & understanding teacher than Kevin. I will have saved thousands of dollars by the time I'm done.
KEVIN, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!! 💋👱‍♀️💗 Bonnie
