Fantastic job Neil. Beautiful piece.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thanks a lot Helen 😊🙏🏻

[@connorlavelle8551]

amazing tutorial, I've been looking for content like this for a long time. As someone who has mostly learned how furniture is upholstered by taking it apart, most of the general sequence and techniques are pretty straightforward, but you cover a lot of nuances and more detailed techniques that are hard to teach yourself.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thankyou very much. Thanks for watching 😊 🙏 🧵 ✂️ ⛏️ 📐

[@Lawry579]

Awesome job. It’s great to watch a craftsman so passionate about detail. Looking forward to watching your other videos 👍

[@faceliftinteriors]

[@kimberlydeprey]

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thankyou Kimberley, much appreciated. Sending Blessings 🙌 🙏 🧵⛏️✂️📐

[@melenelewis2955]

Two questions please,......1. are you using a piping foot when putting piping on? 2. Could I change a chair like this to have loose cushions ....if so do you have a video/ could you do a video on how to change one ?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Yes always use a piping foot when attaching piping. Hmm yes you could change it to removable cushions but the frame could possibly be too high . Hope this helps 🙏 ☺️

[@lillianelliott5624]

Great finish.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Beautiful work, and thanks for doing a video. I know it adds a lot more to your timeframe, but it's always good and helpful!

Thank you for watching!! And for taking the time to leave a comment 😊🙏🏻

[@susandudash2087]

That was a fabulous tutorial! You basically wrapped up my years of upholstery classes (granted one session per week) in one video!! Cheers. Ps I use my long nose stapler all the time-I don’t feel like changing it out while I am working

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thankyou very much. Glad the video was helpful and thanks for watching. 🙏📎⛏️📐✂️🧵

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thankyou very much. Will update about the academy as soon as we know more. Many thanks again 🙏 ☺️

[@kazzrieneval4243]

Wonderful

[@faceliftinteriors]

Thank you! 😊🙏🏻

[@rickyedwards4618]

I love your videos, I have learned so much and have not started my first project yet. But I will be building a frame and creating a seat and high back that sits into an old wine barrel. This will be for an alehouse setting so I want it to be rustic. I think I should be able to use lots of what I have learned from your videos. I am subscribed! Keep them coming!!

[@faceliftinteriors]

Many thanks Ricky, don't forget to keep your eyes peeled for the 'Facelift Academy' coming soon. 🧵📐⛏️⛏️✂️

[@Poisenivy5]

Thank you so much for sharing! Omg, i have this couch thars built just like that chair- what looks like its upholstered in just one piece. And my cats have ruined it so i have to have it reupholstered, and was scared it wasnt possible.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Go for it!!! Risk is a mile wide but only an inch thick. Thankyou 😊🙏⛏️✂️🧵📐

[@kalynwheeler3179]

I just came across your channel while I was researching redoing a couch and chair that we inherited. The couch we have it has a pull out bed. Is there a better way to support the cushions other than a thin, barely there folded board? I can't find anyone who has refurbished one.

[@faceliftinteriors]

Yes you can make a platform lining to go on top of the mechanism. We don't have a video for this but definitely one we will do soon. 😊🙏✂️📎🧵⛏️

[@debbielagrange6058]

Love your work! Do you have a video for concave arms?

[@faceliftinteriors]

Mmmmmm I'm not sure tbh. Have you been through all our videos?

[@debbielagrange6058]

No Sir, but I will

[@kimberlydeprey]

Question: is there a way to get on a waitlist for the courses that will soon be released? Looking for individuals that are just getting started learning for feedback?? Thank you -Kim

[@faceliftinteriors]

Hi Kim, it will be an online training academy with loads of in depth content and mentoring availability. Will keep you posted 👍😊📐⛏️☺️🧵

[@chris2180]

what is the word for folding the arm fabric amd stapling it?

[@faceliftinteriors]

I think the wording you are looking for is 'Pleating'. Hope this helps 🙏 ☺️

[@chris2180]

thanks

[@FishMad]

Just out of interest, why do you use a long nosed staple gun so much ?, I only use mine for tight spaces

[@faceliftinteriors]

Yes it is designed for tight spaces but I still use it just generally too. 📐⛏️✂️✂️🧵
