It really is best to have the pro tools- a hand stapler is hard and scissors are vs your electric saw blade to cut foam fabric etc. I like to draw a line where the center staple is to align the fabric evenly all the way across top and sides.the line guides me as Im a beginner. great tutorials.

Thank you! Had to watch that pleat maneuver a couple times but I think all 4 chair cushions are finished correctly! Thank you for sharing your skills! I’m in Maryland USA

You're awesome! What a great help!!!! I have never reupholstered a chair seat in all my years of DIY-ing stuff! Granted, it's trial and I don't have all the fancy tools😄 but I now need an air compressed staple gun! Thank you for these videos!🤗

[darrinrace]

NICE! Glad to see you using the Imperial system for measuring!

[dreamie]

This! This is what I've been looking for!

I've just discovered this channel and have binge watched most (if not all) of your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. Your videos are clear, uncomplicated and highly instructive.
I'm very, very, very...new (but equally eager) to reupholstering. My question is; I have dinning chairs with high backs and seats just like the ones in this video. However I'd really like to turn them into Parsons chairs. Bearing in mind I've never done this before, how would I go about converting them? Or should I just take the easy route and make slip covers for them? I'd be grateful for your opinion and instructions or better still do a video on each 😄.

[marseanmoore]

Hello and thank you for all your videos, I've been following you for a couple of years now. I have some G Plan style mid century dining chairs. They have a solid seat base, then what might be called coconut matting and then thin layer of foam covered in oil cloth. Which of your videos would be best to follow to make a more comfy seat without losing the style please? Thank you 😊

Thanks for your videos, , they are so helpful! Are electric staplers safe to use? The pneumatic ones are pretty expensive for just one project.

Hello! New subscriber here, my husband just sent me a photo of a dining set he just bought for a hundred dollars 😅 it needs TLC, which is what led me to your vinyl reupholstery video, which led me here. I've been seeing for almost 20 years, but have never tried my hand at upholstery. This may be a silly question, but could I use a regular cotton fabric for reupholstery? Then cover in a clear vinyl? Or do I need to use upholstery fabric? I need them to be wipeable. I have 4 littles 😅 any advice would be so appreciated

[garyabc]

Can I use a manual, hand powered staple gun? Do I really need to buy a pneumatic or electric staple gun for one job?

[luizzahome]

congratulations, master guinea, you are doing a nice video👍🏻

[vibigraphics]

Cool!! How would you proceed if the bottom of the chair isn't in wood?

[barbaracalver]

Hi. What thickness (weight) dacron do I need for a project like this please, it does not have to sit inside a frame. Thanks

[williambelford]

Doesn't using a multi tool leave the legs of the staples in the seat base? I can be slightly OCD about things like that 🙄

[lovnbnhome]

Did you put some type of interfacing on the fabric?

[rose.malimban]

Can we bring to your store and do it at the same leather fabric
