I love that she uses and old singer. I love mine. Where did you find the welting foot

[@roberteckelkamp1348]

I appreciate your efficiency of labor and your talented skill. I have learned a lot by watching you complete a project. I encourage you to produce more videos. Your method of teaching is valuable.

[@joycemurphy4576]

Is it possible to do this with a manual staple gun? Great video

[@alisonclark7540]

I love your videos!! You do make learning fun. Look forward to seeing each new one posted!

[@kateallen2621]

Amazing job! The fabric looked nice to work with. Very soft and pliable. The contrasting fabric on the back was a neat touch!

[@phebethomas588]

I really enjoy watching your videos

[@PARoth2011]

I subscribed the minute you said “make sure there is a curve in the fabric” when putting on the back. I will look forward to watching your other videos 😁

[@tammiejohnston2809]

Thank you so much for your educational videos. It's wonderful having such a great resource.

[@Bdozal9390]

You made laugh so hard at the beginning of the video that a little drool came out of my mouth!🤤.... so I was paying real close attention (like a dog does when he is waiting for a treat) when you were taking dimensions , I was waiting for the numbers and then you go; I got my cut already!😂😂😂😂. You re the best Aimee ! God bless you !! Ps God recovery on the repair!😎

[@mayradell3953]

Beautiful jobon that raspberry chair and great choice of materials

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Too funny!

[@ravenm1601]

Beautiful work. Thank you for revealing the details needed to try this myself.

[@juniorcharles8493]

Good work i love this kind of work it's what i do for a living.

[@gwaenchanna5255]

Thank you for such an informative video, the end result looks really nice!! Is there a reason why you use plastic hot glue instead of fabric glue? And in sewing I usually cut my piping on the bias, I suppose your fabric was stretchy enough to be able to cut it straight. Would you cut it on the bias if it's not elastic or do you not have to do that at all with upholstery fabrics? I'm soon tackling my first upholstery project and I am really excited, wish me luck :)

[@jeremychorney8921]

Love the detail you put into your videos. so helpful. Please Keep the videos rolling. I learn a new tidbit every video.

[@jafallica]

Do you have a video to replace caning with upholstery on the back of dining chairs?

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

No but it’s the same as this chair. Just cut out the caning.

[@alena1804]

Hi Amy. Thank you very much for all your work you sharing, I have learned a lot from you ❤ Please can you tell me what foam best to use for this kind of chair, my friend don’t want springs any more, I put webbing instead. Many thanks ❤

[@kristaross1560]

Thank you!!! This is the best upholstering video I have seen! I am going to follow you!!! 🎉

[@luigibenignochiappero5589]

Congratulations to the great and legendary upholsterer Lady Aimee !!!!! She is very good, kind and her explanations and her videos are very excellent Lady Aimee is a great super master of upholstery !!!! What else???? CHAPEAU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best wishes

[@bettymonson7044]

any suggestions for scissors to trim closely for those with arthritis?

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

You could try a rotary cutter instead of scissors amzn.to/3GvhaRj I’ve never tried it, but it could work to relieve your pain a bit.

[@knotyourgrannysquare2865]

Your videos have been so informative for me. I would really like to see you do a chair that has the post like this but where the fabric wraps around the bottom of the back and sides to be stapled. I’m having a hard time figuring out how to make it work. And can’t seem to find a video to learn how to do it. Thanks 😊

[@LisaCullen]

Same here. Have you found a video like that yet? I’ve been looking for a video like that for 2 weeks all day long. I have my great grandmother’s antique chair that I’d like to reupholster.

[@SophieB_Ofcl]

How do you replace the cushions completely

Another terrific tutorial, thank you! I love when you tuck the fabric in using the regulator, feels r/oddlysatisfying

[@gypsygirl731]

Wow you explain👍 I’ve seen same type of chair done on here by a women who doesn’t talk just play her sexy music like no explanation. Thank you for explaining all along the way reason why you do what you do etc very nicely done. Lovely fabric.,I don’t have the air compressor stapler just beginning but I use a hand held one for now . I will get a regulator. It’s nice you have tools listed too. You’re a good teacher. Thank you. Vikki from New York

Hi Amie, I'm your fan, PLEASE make a video of the different construction for chairs with springs, nom-sagging springs and only webbing!!

If you Can get a closer shots of the projects being stapled or sewn will you ? That's I enjoy you work. You are so professional. Also do you have a fabric store to purchase fabric? Thank you.

[@lindsaygilmore1771]

You've been busy with the videos, And as always another great informative tutorial, I like the contrast between fabrics. It completely changes the Chair. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all. Have you Ever thought about doing an Online course on upholstery. I would definitely sign up. Or even write a book.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Yes, I know I should schedule them to stretch it out, but I get too excited when one is ready to post! 🤣 Dining chair videos seem pretty popular. I would like to do online courses, but it will happen when it’s the right time, just like everything 😁

Wow! You are great !

[@صدامحسين-ي9ح1ض]

Thank you very much, I love your job👍👏👏

[@rachelarnoldtheredhead1900]

I have a question about using vinyl fabric on the back of a chair just like this. How you reduce bulk? This is a client chair. Will the vinyl be too bulky to tuck like you did the fabric?

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

You can watch my videos on how to upholster with vinyl. There are two of them, each with lots of excellent information.

[@mld2121]

What kind of glue gun and glue sticks do you recommend?

[@wjm6749]

Also, would you a give suggestions on different sizes or staples or types, if there are any.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

3/8” x 3/8” 22 gauge is the typical upholstery staple. 1/2” long and 1/4” long can be useful, but not necessary. A brad nailer is also a great tool to have.

Are you stapling into foam

[@charlieandreba]

I was wondering the same thing since she mentioned to be sure not to staple into the wood.

[@KLNYC]

how big is the compressor? I want to get one but i dont do enough chairs lol.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Check out my video on essential tools for upholstery. I give lots of info about compressors

[@Kauffdrop]

Another good video. Thank you

[@charlottestobierski8024]

Your videos are soooo educational. You are inspiring me to take up another new skill. I’ve picked up a pair of Louis XVI chairs that were poorly upholstered. Staples breaking apart when trying to remove. What gauge or length of staple should be used to reupholster this piece? What gauge/type of Pneumatic stale gun do you recommend?

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Links to the tools are in the video description

[@MakeandTake]

I am working on a chair that is 70 years old it is really hard to get the staples to stick do you have any suggestions or am I just stuck with using nails

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

If the wood is in bad shape, you’ll need to repair it first. This is what I use : amzn.to/3lYSXt7

[@Sewgood58mp]

What kind of staple gun do you use

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

[@wjm6749]

Do you prefer short nose or long nose stapler. Just bought a long nose. Any suggestions why and where is it better to use short nose?

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

I only have short nose staplers and haven’t had any issues. You’ll get used to using whatever you get

[@sandragibbs65]

I’d like to ask for tutorials on “fabric cuts” different types of chairs. I have a problem with the cuts on this chair that I’d like to post, figuring how to post pic

[@sandragibbs65]

You make it look so easy! I have a question for you I am reupholstering my bedroom chairs with velvet material all 4 legs are corners although the front legs are very thick 3" approx. so my issue is that I cant seem to get the material all to one side without it being all crocked. Should the front legs have a different type of cut other than straight? Thanks so much

[@vickirose588]

Liked this very much

[@deneseeastin612]

I’ve been watching your videos getting ready , I thought, to reupholster my dining chairs. But then I realized my chairs didn’t have a back inset piece, but instead the whole back is open over the top , bottom to front . So how do I handle this situation? Or am I being dumb?

[@terryq9966]

Hey Amy, ANOTHER awesome video. Your technique for pulling the sides taught toward the corners is great information as well as restapling where you removed the right positioning staples. Could you give some info during one of your vids regarding the table you work on. Top dimensions and especially height. Is it all just personal preference or are there suggested heights for particular tasks? Thanks!

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

It’s mostly personal preference, but you can check out my video on setting up a workshop...I talk a bit about it there. Otherwise, yes, I’ll make a video about it!

Aimee the little octopus on the back of the shirts was supposed to represent you. That was the idea.
