+renee coleman Thank you!

Aimee, I just discovered you when searching for tips on vehicle interiors. There is nothing better than learning from a pretty lady. You have a great way of explaining your process. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Wonderful! Thanks for watching 😊

[@operationsmanager8870]

Awesome, I bought a roll of this and tried to figure out how to use it for 30 minutes. Thanks! (Upholstery beginner)

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Thanks so much for your comment...so happy it was helpful to you!

[@ladykenja2700]

- Thia type closure looks quite professionally done. Thanx 4 the technique demo.

[@eotikurac]

amy, you're a doll

[@cmcer1995]

I guess I was in a hurry to view more of your videos and forgot to submit a comment, even though I did Like it. I always have to go back a review what I have seen as I often forget to Like them. So this one was very helpful to me as I have been struggling with working curves. Seen several other KZbins that didn't work for me, yours does, so a redo for me to make them look right. Oops, is Curves and Corners them same, Duh! Forgot which one I was reviewing, but this one will be useful soon.

[@trishwalters3015]

So so helpful. Having trouble with it now I feel better!

[@jafallica]

So Amy, I love your videos and find them very helpful. But, could you please try to zoom in closer in future videos so we can see up close what you’re doing?

[@wjm6749]

I used this method when I did the back of my chair, I found that when I put the the curvy next to the cording that it went over the cording just slightly. So on my next chair I pulled it down about a sixteenth of an inch and it worked fine. Was I doing something wrong. I really appreciate you videos! You are an excellent teacher!

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

This can happen with thick fabric.

[@janinewilson379]

I really enjoy your videos! You are great at explaining things. I just wish I was as precise with my staple gun as you! Cant for the life of me aim into the ply grips holes

[@thompsonsultraliteaviation7284]

Very informative and easy on the eyes!

[@FireyTinkerHell]

Great channel, great videos!! So much great technique info!

[@lynj9664]

Lol it does look like a torture device! But a very professional looking result. Curious to see how you finish the side seam....cliffhanger! Haha

[@cmrdccstonewall6524]

Thanks for sharing.

[@steve10509]

I LOVE your videos!

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Thank you!

Aimee, I noticed below a question from Mohbad about Upholstery Supplies and the company DIY Upholstery Supply filed bankruptcy.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Yes, i think that question is quite old

[@Fernandaroebuck]

Can you set decorative tacks / nails over the metal strip?

[@glenbutler9611]

Great job with the show as you go tutorial ...but the music turn it down it's annoying and unnecessary..

[@fowadkhan5938]

I am from missisasagua.. can we meet up?? ..plz let me know. Great work btw..

[@AishaStitt]

Would it be possible that you could do a video with tack strips? Like the long straight ones? I know a lot of people like to hand stitch close, but I want to learn how to use the straight metal tack strips? Or could you point me to a video that uses this?

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

The Parsons Chair video shows the process for metal tack strip closure

[@AishaStitt]

@@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio THANK YOU SOO MUCH!

[@ebutuoy3008]

Hello, iguess this ply grip does not work with leather? I’m looking for a good corner solution. A sitting chair made of wood. Kind greetings ruud

[@adamvaughn969]

I have a piece shaped like a wide "U" with inside and outside corners, should I start on the outside the move to inside?

[@fowadkhan5938]

Wouldn't it be easier to do invert method, because u didn't use on the sides??... I only use pli grip strip, when i have to go curves on top and straight on the sides...especially under arms..

[@JM-yx1lm]

I have a question i hope you can answer... i have an old lawn mower seat and its just the metal chair now with no cusion or foam and im wondering if i used vinyl, how would it hold to the metal?? I was thinking maybe some of that black trim stuff that clamps on to the edge of the metal... thanks for any ideas.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

I would try headliner adhesive. It’s a spray adhesive, it will stick it to the metal. You’d have to be pretty good with vinyl to give it a finished look. You could also use the trim around the edge.

[@lilacmehman1546]

How to staple pli grips? Because i am using stanley stapler and pli grips from amazon but the staple cant go through the pli grip.

[@hamiraley]

Can you use the ply grip with heavyweight vinyl? And if not what would you recommend? I’m combing through your videos and realizing I picked out the most difficult fabric to reupholster my couch, but it’s so lovely I want to try and make it work.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Try it!

[@solwong1338]

Aimee, we're missing you and your content. :(

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

That’s so kind! Thank you Sol, I do intend to make more content 😊

[@lotlot]

I don’t have an air stapler and my hand, flat nosed stapler won’t secure this edging. Can I tack it on? If so what tacks would you suggest?

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

I would suggest hand stitching the back on instead. Ply grip should be stapled.

[@jafallica]

I wish you would zoom in on your videos.

[@cynthiapercell2347]

What kind of staple gun do you use? I cant seem to find one that works all the time.

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Porter cable

[@albertsantoya8600]

@@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio Which porter cable model would you recommend for someone who is just getting into the game? One that you can get away with using on a good amount of projects? So many different pneumatic staplers out there I've become dizzy. LOL. Love love love all your videos!

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

The specs for upholstery staples are: 22 gauge, “C” crown, 3/8” x 3/8”. If you get a stapler that shoots these staples, it will work for you.

[@patriciabaker332]

Why not just use a dike or other tool for cutting the metal.

[@mohmad2822]

I am from Iraq and these springs are not available in my country so please give me a Buy a website link

[@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio]

Check out diyupholsterysupplies.com. I’m not sure where they ship internationally, but I know it’s costly to ship. It might be better for you to hand stitch your items, that’s what I would do if I didn’t have access to the ply-grip. 😊
