Hi Guys!! Come and follow me over on Instagram too 🙂👍 instagram.com/faceliftinteriors

[@audriscarborough9309]

You do such fantastic work 👏. The triangle tufts are beautiful. Every one of your "tips" are seriously great tips!! The way to keep dust out, the proper way to make a template first, and the tricks of using the circular tool on reverse to get the foam out. Thank you for your time and the wonderful style of teaching. I have learned more from 3 of your video's, then in classes , asking to watch or get help from someone who is making what I want to learn to do... you are really so helpful. With sincerity, Audri

[@simonrobinson6131]

Brilliant video, really enjoyed it. Quick question, with the diamond planning, where can i learn a bit more on this as I drew some lines and got somewhat confused in the planning of diamond positions? It ended up looking like a baby had scribbled all over my foam :)

How much for that specific one.

[@numans.9741]

Hey, amazing video and vibrant personality! I subscribed midway through the video. I was wondering where you got these materials from? And is the stapling tool called staplegun?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you for watching and subscribing - I really appreciate it! I only know of where to get upholstery supplies from the UK - Livedale, GB foam, Martins upholstery supplies. But outside the UK I’m not overly sure. Yes it’s called a staple gun…in the UK anyway, not sure if it’s a universal term!! Hope this helps 😊👍🏻

[@andyw3152]

Wow, that would very impressive. Bet that will last longer than some high street outlets.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks Andy! It definitely will do! Thank you for watching 😊🙏🏻

[@lailaaziz3011]

Thanks for another great video. Please could u list were to purchase hessian from. Do u also use 12oz Hessian when lining arm chairs or sofa? Thanks

[@faceliftinteriors]

HI Laila! Thank you for watching! I buy my hessian from Martin's Upholstery Supplies but there are loads of different upholstery suppliers if you're outside of the UK (and even in the UK). I use 12oz on chairs and sofas too. Outside backs you don't have to use hessian, you could also use fabric lining but its up to you.

[@lailaaziz3011]

Thank u for the information please could u let me know which fabric lining would be most suitable?

[@loub4229]

Brilliant video I'm attempting my first footstool, could you tell me where I would get the white foam from?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Lou! Thank you for watching. If you’re just needing it for a small footstool - have a look on eBay as most foam suppliers tend to prefer foam to be bought it larger quantities. But you should be able to get smaller quantities on there 👍🏻

Hello! Just to clarify, were you using inches when measuring out the diamonds?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Phyllis! Yes I was measuring the diamonds in inches! Thanks for watching!

[@carenallen5841]

Now I understand why tufted furniture cost so much..lots of work..looks great..and ? What does something like this cost on average?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Caren - send me a message over on Instagram and I will give you an idea on what I’d normally charge for something like this 😊👍🏻

[@skahler]

I can't even imagine the number of hours this must take.

[@faceliftinteriors]

A few 🤣

[@hordantorcelino6861]

This helps me a lot sir Your hoodie looks cool too Where can i get that?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Haha thank you! We don’t sell them at the min but may do in the future if theorems enough interest 😊👍🏻 thanks for watching!

[@rebeccatibbs5569]

Not me watching this thinking I’m going to save a fortune, before looking at the cost of the tools I’d need and realising I may as well buy one brand new, unless I plan on upholstering forever :(

[@faceliftinteriors]

Yea some of the tools aren’t cheap so I would only invest if you’re looking to make it a hobby. But you never know, you might catch the upholstery bug once you do your first piece 😉

[@alexandrablackberry7864]

😂

[@MyJessmatt]

Could you please go through the way you do your invert v tuck a bit slower to show the trick and best way to do this . Thanks in advance.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Niall, will keep this in mind for future videos - thank you for the suggestion 👍🏻

[@reneericci1398]

I lost my MIND when the foam cutter came out. I need one 👀

[@faceliftinteriors]

Haha! It cuts so smoothly doesn’t it 🤩

[@Salik916]

Great work! Question: can you please provide some guidance as to which type of board is better for ottoman and sofa? Either MDF is better or plywood? No body actually address this question in their videos.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi there! Thanks for watching! Ply is stronger than MDF but for sofas I would use hardwood for the frames. Hope this helps 👍🏻
