How To Upholster A Wooden Arm Chair - For The (Upholstery Beginner)

How To Upholster A Wooden Arm Chair - For The Upholstery Beginner
kimsupholstery.com/online-clas...
I get many emails each week asking for advice on upholstering that first piece of furniture. If you start small and gradually build up to more difficult pieces you will probably have less frustration and save money. Making the wrong cuts in your fabric, putting fabric on in the wrong order or choosing the wrong materials is costly. While upholstering a chair of this type you will learn to:
• Use upholstery tools.
• Tear down.
• Install a base for springs.
• Tie Springs.
• Pad up your project.
• Measure and cut fabric.
• Center your fabric.
• Attach your fabric.
• Add cording.
• Close the outside back.
• Put on a dust cover.

[@22toomany20]

Oh my... never realized how much work really goes into this. Thank you for sharing :)

[@Missoudabeh]

what a gorgeous fabric! and thanks for sharing your experience! I absolutely love your work and learn a lot watching your videos

[@marte9646]

Absolutely great video, thanks! I watched some previous videos for ideas on making cushions. My daughters outside furniture cushions disintegrated and this was a first time adventure for me. I found your videos very helpful and the cushions came out great! Not perfect but great and it made my daughter very happy, which was the whole reason for attempting the job. It took me weeks, but I kept getting stumped and had to review videos for support, but it was well worth the time and effort! Thanks again!

[@somnyad]

I watched a few other videos and then this one. What a difference!! Yours is the work of a true professional. Thank you for sharing your craft. I do not think I would be able to do as good a job as you, and watching this video makes me want to go to a professional to have the work done, as it seems I could probably botch the antique chair and ruin it. What a great way to advertise! Thanks again!!

[@luscious006]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL

[@lisawilson1556]

Thank you so much for this video and sharing your expertise! I have been following along step-by-step working on a similar chair and this video has been extremely helpful as a guide. To say I have learned a lot is an understatement. You do make it look easy and I have certainly gained a healthy respect for upholsterers.

[@cwh523]

Thank you. It looks like a lot if work. I have a couple of chairs and stools I want to recover. But I'm not exactly excited to do it.

[@nigelperren5714]

Nice one, great video, I've been going round the recycling centres for years getting things to do up for my house, now it's full to the brim I'm a little bit gutted there's no need for me to do it any more, then I realised I could get things, do them up and sell them, it's a hobby really, the trouble is I usually like the things I've done up and want to keep them!! I think I need a bigger house!! Thanks for the lesson!!

[@texgal3990]

[@innatenest7636]

you're amazing :) having a custom toddler sofa chair done for my son on christmas but know that it may have staples showing in the backside where the fabric is held down. Started looking for ways to use upholstery tacks, which led me to you. it's absolutely wonderful to be inspired by you :) never thought I'd actually feel I could do this on my own, which I won't this time, but wow! Amazing job & video :)

[@KimsUpholstery]

Thank you for your kind words. Be careful as this is an addictive activity! Kim

[@debbieanderson8030]

Loved watching this as i'd like to try this for some dining chairs. The silver strip of grab - where do you buy that - just an upholstery shop? It makes the finished product with the piping look so much more professional.
