Been upholstering since 1985 , bit sometimes it’s just nice to,watch others doing it and I’m still learning bits many years later. the info on the tightening of the springs at the beginning was really useful. Lovely upholstering, think you might need to treat yourself to a Bambi silent air compressor though! Mine is perfect for my small garage workshop. When it kicks in, it is as quiet as a fridge. Hope business is ruining good for you, I’m always booking 12 weeks ahead !

These types of tasks are fascinating for any lover of furniture design and it's something that can be extremely useful in many situations. For example, I love leather sofas, but this time my wife and I decided to go with a Ducaroy sofa fabric boucle that we ordered from Manhattan Home Design because we loved the pristine white hue of its finish, but if we decide to switch back to leather some day, I hope I can do it myself. Thanks for the tutorial!

@@faceliftinteriors Thanks for the response & thanks for all your videos. This couch project is something that I'm looking at out on the horizon somewhere so I'm just trying to get my head around how to upholster. I could potentially just use detached pillows on the reupholster. Probably would simplify the job. It is a sectional coach so I figured they used attached pillows to more easily keep them in place.

Your channel has been so helpful, thank you! I want to upholster our two seater slipcover sofa but I don’t think the fabric I want has the width to go across the back in one piece like yours did. You mentioned piecing fabric, is there a specific place/way this should be done? Also, if I use upholstery velvet do I need to cut my pieces with the velvet going all the same way? Thanks :)
@faceliftinteriors
3 жыл бұрын
Hi Ellenarae! Thank you for watching my videos, I’m glad you find them helpful 😊 So there’s a couple of options you could do with the outside back if you can’t get it out of one width - firstly you could run the fabric, which means turning it so the pile goes side to side instead of down...however, like you asked, if you do this the rest of the pieces you cut should all be going the same way with the pile otherwise you run the risk of the fabric looking different colours or shades. Secondly, you could sew a seam down the middle of the outside pack if you don’t want to run the fabric sideways. Finally, you could use a full width on the back and then piece two smaller even sized pieces of fabric either end...again, you’d sew those and would have two seams. It just depends what you find easier and what look you’d rather have! I hope this makes sense and is helpful 😊👍🏻

@@faceliftinteriors gathering supplies for my project! can i ask about the deck. What kind of material should i use for the lining (the black fabric you used) and when you sew the front deck strip to the lining fabric are you sewing the hessian webbing to the bottom of those as well and leaving the ends long to staple down? then when it comes to fitting you put on the front deck strip, flap over the lining fabric, staple down the hessian and then lash through all three layers (just behind the seam line?), Hope that makes sense! Thanks!

Is it easy for an upholsterer to put new longer legs on a sofa? Also, do upholsterers normally pick up from you and deliver your sofa when it’s done? Great video! I love the tee-off effects!

Hi! Yes you are able to change the legs on a sofa as long as the blocks in the corners of the sofa are big enough to fit the new legs. Yes normally upholsterers should collect and deliver your sofa to you as part of the service. We do 😁 Thanks so much for watching and for your comment - you have a great ear to know that’s a tee-off sound 😁👍🏻

How much would that cost? I want to keep my corner sofa as it's the perfect size & shape for my lounge, plus it's the most comfortable thing i have ever sat and laid on. But it's brown and won't suit the room when I complete the decorating.

I just bought a second hand couch we didn’t realise it has fixed bottom cushions. How would you add foam to a fixed cushion?

Hi there! Apologies for the delay in replying! Unfortunately, you would have to remove the cushions to add foam 😬

Great stuff, but I find it discouraging to even try to do this myself. I have no idea how you got those measurements to match up. If I did that it would be completely screwed up and I would end up throwing my arms in the air and duct taping the whole thing.

Do you absolutely have to remove the back and sides of the sofa to pull the fabric for recovering arms and seat through? For instance, if I have a sofa that the only thing that needs replacing is the seat and the rest is going to be left the same? Or the only thing to replace is the side and the rest left alone? I like the look of a seat that is permanent and tacked using nailhead trim as well.

Would you say that stapling is legit? Not in anyway a criticism (I have no clue) but I keep reading online about stapling being wrong - but you're blantantly a professional and some of those attachments I can't see how you could do anything but staple them? (Great content btw, I've subscribed)

Hi Holly! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing, it means a lot 😊 In the early days of upholstery they used to use tacks and a hammer to secure fabric on furniture. However, for more modern furniture - upholsterers tend to use an air gun and staples. Upholsterers do still use the old techniques (like stitch and stuff) to reupholster traditionally upholstered furniture. I hope this is helpful and my ramblings make sense 🤣
