Your knowledge, and expertise attest to the fact that you are truly a Master Upholsterer! I'm redoing just one chair. But, I was really struggling with the corners on the chair seat. After watching this I realized it was about so much more than the corners. Now I feel confident in getting the job done. Thank you for taking the time to share your expert advice.

My hubby and I covered our dining chair seats, only 2, without taking off the old stuff. We never did it before, and used an upholstery vinyl we bought at JoAnn’s. It probably would have gone much better to take it all off before putting on the new stuff, but we’ll know better next time. 🥴 That being said it looks pretty good! But we’ll do it right next time.

Darn it. I was looking up videos for corner tips as I am that far but my foam, repuposed from other chair cushions doesn't have the poly batting, just a thin fabric layer. What is the negative from not having the poly batting around the foam?
@edwardmedina12368 жыл бұрын
+Justin Shiffler - Justin I know this was two weeks ago so you may not need the information now. The batting just gives it a better finished look and feel. It all depends on the chair and what you are trying to do (and the foam, the type of fabric being used, etc). However, what the batting does is soften the lines and round out the top of the cushions in a smoother fashion (especially with thin fabric) and provide a small soft barrier between the person and the cushion.
@jennhoff036 жыл бұрын
It shows every little lump and bump and irregularity without the batting. The batting will just make sure it looks a little smoother and better finished. :)
