Hi friends,

In this video, I show you the basics of furniture upholstery/reupholstery. **Please note, yes I get this is not the greatest video and I should not have used packing tape. You can still get a lot of great info here and you can check out my blog post below too. Thanks!

Important to centre the fabric as well, especially with stripes! Might be obvious to some but not others. 😊

I like how you did the corners and I really appreciate the video- the part I needed the most help with. But I wouldn't put tape on the underside of the cushion as it will simply fall off. Staple parallel to the edge about 1/4" in and you will be fine.

Thank you so much for the tutorial video. I bought some really cool French fabric with fleur-de-lis designs and the dinning room set took another step up look. Thank you so much.

Great info... You refreshed my memory on doing it and gave me an idea with the tape.

Nice 👍 thank you for the video! I like the idea 💡 just need the filling materials. You match the chairs material with your dress 👗 nice 😊

I love the fabric you chose! Looks great!!

Your good upholstery work I like 👍 because I am also sofamaker upholsterer

[melbabowen]

Just a good tip. When getting the corners. I like to use button thread doubled, make a gathering stitch in the fabric of the corners, and ease in those gathers. You will have no extra bull to staple and makes a beautiful, smooth corner. ❤️

I like this. Simple and fast. Works for me.

Great stuff and learning with you was educational. Good one GOD bless you and your family.Amen

Great video! I wish there was more information on why you did certain things. Why do you use cotton batten? Why do you start in the middle? Explaining things help to understanding.

Hi, I am upholstering a v berth cushion for our boat. It consists of two triangle pieces put together to make one triangle . Do you have any suggestions for folding the Fabric around the angles?

[Mina-sosu]

You can us glue gun at the end right? Or just tape.

[kookie-dhpx]

How do you place it on the seat though

[terrydavis]

Nice video. FYI, the cotton material used on top of the cushion just below the cover is called "batting" not "batton".

[jcgurl]

The fabric is lovely but it seemed a little odd with the tape. I have 2 chairs I want to reupholster.

Such simple language. I loved it lol #Repeatingoverandover lol
