How to Fix that Hole in Your Sofa PROFESSIONALLY

[@jisellegarcia9345]

This video was extremely helpful and easy to understand Thank you 😊

Thank you for the straightforward video! I am planning on doing patchwork to my fabric daybed, the whole side got obliterated by kittens, but I like the idea of a "boho" patch couch Since cats may do it all over again and I can't afford to keep buying furniture lol. I was trying to see if there's like a stich gun or anything that would do it, but so far this seems like the best method 🤔

Thank you for this video! I need to repair a small unraveling on my couch and this will be the perfect way to do it.

I'm glad that it helped!

[@crash0v3rride7]

great video, just what I needed

[@createwithcraftsman]

Glad it helped!

Does this method still work with a seam that is on top of the cusion? it's a double top stich and the thread has came unraveled.

[@marksanders768]

4:38 - If I roll the thread around my finger a few times and then slip it off, I don't have a knot. I have a simple coil shape that immediately unwinds. ???

[@createwithcraftsman]

You want to roll it off your finger so that it winds itself up. If you are not having success with that just tie a regular knot.

Could you use the same method to repair an attached cushion that has torn away from the back of couch?

[@createwithcraftsman]

You absolutely can! When re-attaching a cushion that has torn away just keep using the old holes if it is just the thread that broke, or if they are compromised then try to pin or staple the cover in a couple places temporarily to hold it in the right place as you're putting it back together. Good luck!

What type of thread/weight are you using?

[@createwithcraftsman]

Here is a link to a kit. www.etsy.com/your/shops/me/listing-editor/edit/1660069671#details It is a heavy weight (roughly 300 weight) braided polyester thread

I'm trying to figure out how to fix a sofa that has a hole, but the fabric is from like 1979 it's orange it's almost like a yarn woven sofa. I don't even know what to call this upholstery.

[@createwithcraftsman]

To fix a hole you can use the ladder stitch, it will just add a pucker when pulled tight. You will need to gather the fabric together to see if it has enough stretch left to do the stitch without straining the fabric and ripping in another place later.

[@buttonbaby2010]

What if its not on the seam?

[@createwithcraftsman]

You can still stitch it but you will need to decide how tight to pull it. Tighter makes a pucker and looser shows the threads.

[@user-op6vq5vu3d]

Does this still work for a mid cushion tear, (aka not on a seam)

[@createwithcraftsman]

It will work to repair the hole, but the repair will be visible!
