Thanks for your comment. I'd definitely try to find out what the cause is and try to fix that, or you might have more problems going forward. I've not tried the wood filler on floor boards, so I don't know how it would work if it gets heavy traffic on it, but it does give a hard finish on chairs. Good luck, and hopefully, you can find the cause.

Excellent. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂

I'll try. It's not always easy as a one man band with only 2 hands.

Well done making your own curtains! It's a good feeling to see our own work. Wishing you success with your projects!

@@crofthouse489 hi, it's not making my own just altering some for someone else. I definitely don't have the space to make full curtains 😅

That's not my teaching style. Turn the sound off.

OK, that's a good idea for a more technical video. I'll get on to it.

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing that.

You're welcome. Thanks for your comment.

Wonderful! Thank you for your comment. Enjoy upholstering. 😉

I use a fine gauge upholstery twine, but if you look up extra strong upholstery thread, you could use this as well. Gutermanns do it in different colours. Thread can wear thin as you pull it through heavy fabric layers and can snap, but you'll work out how long a length of thread you can use as you go.

@crofthouse489 oh thanks for being back to me. So maybe a No 2 barbours twine would be suitable I guess?

You should be able to just pull it off. I would then try to scrape any loose glue residue off gently with something blunt, then replace the braid with new if you're not re-upholstering the whole chair. I always use uhu glue.

You're very welcome. I'm happy if I can help.

You're very welcome. Helping others is the only reason I make the tutorials and lovely comments like yours keep me working. Thank you.

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching 😊

Thanks.

Thank you. Helping others upholster is the reason I make the videos. The stich you asked about is blind lock stitch.

@@crofthouse489 it’s certainly very helpful! Thank you.

Well done! I'm so glad I could help you. It's a joy to preserve treasures from the past, and if you're new to sewing and can achieve this, the world's your oyster. Good luck with your hobby.

Just an update: all six curtains now completed and re hung and, even though I say it myself - looking pretty spiffy! Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing your technique. Unfortunately, this modern chair only has hardboard, so it can't be pushed down.

Thank you! Thumbnails are so small, I'm never sure what to put to be clear.

I'm not a youtuber so I can't give you specifics. I find what catches my eye are clear images of the project and text off to the side/above with a uncluttered background. I'm sure there's a perfect tutorial around here somewhere.@@crofthouse489

Hi Roxanne. There are a variety of piano stools and benches. Which type are you looking to reupholster? Can you post a photo here.? If I can find a similar one, I can add a video.

Thank you. Helping people work out how to upholster is why I make the videos. I couldn't find anything on modern reupholstery, which is why I hoped this would help.

Thank you!

I use 1.5 teaspoons of Gorilla wood glue. This works for me.

Thanks for commenting, Lucy. I hope it was useful.

Excellent @harrieth! I'm glad I could help.

Haha! No frogs nearby. Glad to have helped.

Hi Melissa. Once the back is attached to the front with the metal back tack strips, the front is screwed back in place, through the holes on the back of the metal frame, using the original screw holes in the wood. This is why it's important to cut fabric around them and put holes through the fabric with a regulator, if you have one, whilst constructing the front of the chair. The 4 screws are visible on the back of the frame. Hope this makes sense.

Glad to be of help and to hear there are still students of upholstery.

Hi Beverly. The wadding I use is white cotton felt, otherwise known as lintafelt. I use 4oz on armchairs to give more body for the finished effect.

Thanks for commenting.

So glad I was able to help you Clasina. Good luck with your projects!
