Artisan Upholstery Studio Are you in Canada? If so, where do you source your foam and padding etc? Looking for wholesale if you have any tips 😊
I’m in Nova Scotia and I shop locally for my supplies.
Artisan Upholstery Studio oh darn, I was hoping you’d have some great online resource. I’m in rural BC and having trouble finding supplies. Thanks though!
@@stephanieporter999 fabricville.com I don't know what the shipping cost's though
Such a beautiful job I can't even imagine getting that good at it. This took real practice.
“Tuck it under your arm” and “you want to pull it with your whole hand” are professional tips I have not seen anywhere else. Excellent video! My only suggestion is to eliminate the background music. Your instructions are all we need to hear.
Thank you so much. I found this after watching many videos on how to re cover dining chairs. This technique finally helped me get nice sleek sides and perfect corners. One seat down, five more to go!
Hands down one of the best tutorials / how-to's on TH-cam for this. There are any number of techniques for turning down your corners when stapling and this method seems to yield the least amount of visible wrinkles/folds for most fabrics. It may not work well for thicker vinyls though. Simple, concise and clear.
Thank you!
Thanks for a great tutorial!!! I finally took the plunge and reupholstered our 6 dining chairs after watching your very clear explanation 5 or 6 times. I’m even happy with the corners!
Great tutorial your the first person I found that explains how to do the corners properly, thank you 🖒
Thank you so much for this tutorial, very, very helpful. I did my mom dining chairs and it look like I just bought them out the store. Now I think I'm an expert!
I started to reupholster my bar seats. I did one on my own... It was pretty ugly and full of staples. Ive watched a few different videos and your video is by far the best. Thank you!
Thank you so very much for a fabulous tutorial. I have never seen corners done the way you do them. Your method is far superior to anything I have ever done & I will be using your method on my upcoming dining room chair upholstery project.
So grateful I found you! I was ready to pay someone to finish the corners for me. Thank you for such an easy solution.
I learned a lot from this video. I have been doing my chair seats all wrong. I'm glad I found you, thanks so much
I'm getting ready to reupholster our five side chair and one armed chair antique dinning set. I greatly appreciate the detail and clear instruction of your videos and would love to see that supplies video you mentioned.
Best instruction on how to reupholster slip seats! I've watched about 10, looking for the best method, and this is the one! Applied Amy's teachings and got GREAT results.
Thanks for a great video.
That’s awesome! Thanks for posting!
This is my second video on it, and I am liking it. Thx for the advice. I won't look any further. I did this years ago, before the internet with no instructions and am surprised that I was right on the money. :)
This video with the upholstered is the best of all
I agree with John C. wholeheartedly. I’ve been watching and watching videos on this subject and this it THE one. If you could see the way the last guy did the corners, you would have nightmares! Yikes. What I need now is a step-by-step video by you on how to purchase, set-up and use an pneumatic staple gun. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you for a very helpful tutorial - I'm ready to recover my kitchen chairs. 😊
Dude, you rock! I upholstered for many years and I used all the same techniques including the seat under the arm trick!
You are a great teacher! I watched another video on TH-cam with the same Technic. But you' re saying less were able to make it clear, easy to follow and less scary ) Teaching is definitely a talent. Thank you!
+Galina T , that's awesome! I'm so glad you found it easy to follow. Thanks for commenting!
Galina T
You are very cute not bad for beginners
Very helpful. Directions she gave were very clear and easy to follow! Thank you!
Thank you - your video gives us the way to do it as a professional would - and it certainly looks professional. Perfect.
I was wondering why my outdoor round cushion looked bumpy, like a 10 yr old did it 😂 thank you so much for your time, grace and talent!!!
you were the only video when I put in my search that actually showed what I was needing and there were many that showed up. Thank you!
Thanks - best tutorial on chairs I found and my chairs came out better than I had hoped!
Thank you Amy for your step by step instructions on how to reupholster chair pads. I am not very handy and had to rewind several times, however with your help I was able to cover 5 high top bar chairs and they look amazing!!!
Amy, I have to say, your videos are fantastic. I’ve learned a lot from you. I just retired from driving trucks after 36 years, and have gone to work for a upholstery shop, and between then and your videos, I’m really learning a lot and loving my new profession. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jonathan...I’m glad you find them helpful!
Great info..taught me to make my corners tight & clean even using leather. Thanks!
Really easy to follow directions. This video saved me a lot of steps; I was going to make it harder than it needs to be. Thanks!
Thank you for this 'how to', I'm re-upholstering my dining chairs this week and have never done it before. Fingers crossed I do a good job!
I’m sure you’ll do a great job!
Very nicely done thank you.
Great job
Hey, thanks for your video! Great instruction, very well explained, and easy to follow. The mystery of the corners has been solved for me!
Brilliant! We always use this tutorial when recovering our chairs! Best on TH-cam! Thank you.
Excellent! I have a new dining seat video up with no music if you get sick of listening to it 😉
Artisan Upholstery Studio Thank you. The music is fine. Today we reupholstered our son’s piano stool with your help! 🇬🇧
Thank you for letting me know. 😊 The only negative comments I get are about the music, lol! I’m glad it helps you
A very professional tutorials with amazing details. My next reupholster job will be more neat especially on the undersides.
the music drove me nuts, but I LOVED your tutorial! THANKS!
Same!
The best DIY video I have seen. Easy to follow and very helpful. Thank you.
I loved this tutorial. It was easy to follow and understand. My dining room chairs came out great. Thanks for putting it up on TH-cam.
+That's wonderful to hear, Catherine Brown! Thank you so much for letting me know it was helpful to you! :)
Hi! I thank you for this video, especially, as it gave me the confidence to re-cover my own dining chairs. I bought the tools you suggested and am so pleased with how well they worked. My chair seats came out beautiful!! I was fearful of beginning but when I tucked the first one up into my armpit I knew just what to do. So grateful!
That’s wonderful!
wow im so glad i found your channel...you have a gift of teaching..
you are a very good instructor
Your tutorial is more detail compare to this other video. Thank that looks 👏
You make fantastic tutorials! I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers! I am really grateful for your vinyl tutorials!
Thank you!
What a great well done tutorial .This lady is a pleasure to watch. Pretty sure I can do my chairs now. Thank you.
Thank you for your videos. I'm a boot and Saddle maker living in Sailboat country. Doing more Upholstery work. Your videos helped me tremendously. Wish you were closer to take some clases ( I'm in Northern Wisconsin on Superior).
Thank you for the video I learned a lot from it. I’m getting ready to recover my daughters kitchen chairs and this really helped.
Great tutorial, simple clear and concise, giving one the sense that anybody can do this. Will be watching more of yours.
What a lovely talented lady.
Thank you for your video. It has given us the confidence to attempt to cover our chairs. We will post pictures of the finished project. Greetings from, Wangaratta Australia
That’s looks great. You make all this look simple. That’s what a great teacher does🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for sharing your talent and for your detailed instruction. Wish me luck with my little vanity stool project.
Hey Aimee! I just found your channel and have watched several of your videos now 😊 i decided to watch them all in order now... You are so helpful with your tips, and are a great teacher! See you in the other videos 👍
Thank you! Just so you know, I now have a teaching website at www.upholstery.life if you’re interested in better, more informative video learning! 😊
Very well done tutorial. I’m more more confident now that I can tackle this project I’ve been wanting to do for awhile. Thank you!
Thank you Amy, your video really helped us to upholster our chairs. Most grateful to you for your lovely video!!
Thank you for your lovely comment 😊 Happy New Year!
like the pull and tuck
I love that staple gun!!
Thanks Aimee..this is exactly what I needed for an upcoming project!👍
Wish there was an upholstery school near me. I’d very much love to do it as a job, perhaps videos and practice could earn me the confidence to charge money Great video!!
Thanks for the great tutorial! It's given me the confidence to start on our dining chairs!
this is useful for my 'covid-lockdown'project...good find..thanks for sharing your talent
Amy, you make everything look so easy. Wish I had your skills. Maybe someday. ❤️
Thanks for the Vidz. You’re a great Teacher. Just done 6 dining room chairs in vinyl. (First 2 turned out alittle ruff) but then i found ur Vid on Vinyl, the Hairdryer technique saved my embarrassment. 👍🏾
I’m so glad it helped!
Very well done and clearly spoken. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial. I watched 3 prior to yours & will be executing your method soon. Your way makes the best sense & appears easy. Thank you!!
Thank you Amy! I am doing some Heywood Wakefield chairs and people kept trying to sell me 2" foam. I knew it wouldn't look right and found your video confirming the 1". Thank you for clear directions too!
I’m now using 1 1/2” on mid century chairs, as it bottoms out a bit less. If you pull really tight (as it should be done) the profile will still be really sleek.
@@ArtisanUpholsteryStudio I did shop for 1.5" but couldn't locate it. I will look online next time. Thank you
Thanks Amy for your great videos. I learned a lot by following your tutorials and was able to repair my chairs myself in this quarantine. A big greeting from Argentina.
That’s great! 😊
Very good. These are the instructions I will be following!
Hi Amy how do you reupholster rolled arms on a chair or sofa that have front insert panels?? Love your tutorials. Glad I found you finally. You totally inspire me to learn more. Keep them going please.
Very Helpful. We were going to buy an entire new set, but heck, I may give this a try first!
Perfect! Concise and answered all my questions. Thank you! You rock!!
not sure I'd use the same 60's art deco pattern, but my chairs will look great thanks to you. thanks Amy. :)
Excellent tutorial and your are a joy to listen to. Thank you.
Great video gave me the confidence to do all my dining chairs thank you
Perfect presentation...thank you for being here to show and share your awesome skills, and techniques.
Thank you so much for this video. Now I will stop fighting with my chair seats and the fabric. :-)
Wow’!! Loved the old fabric!
I’m ready to recover my chairs with your simple clear instructions. This will be my 3rd recover of same chairs but first time doing it correctly!
Excellent video! Wonderful step by step instruction. Thank you for making the video.
I have been looking for a video that explains how to redo my dinning room chairs. This one is excellent, every detail covered and perfect! The corners are the key and girl you nailed it. If I could only get that tuck under the arm process down I would be a pro. Thank you for your expertise and for sharing!
Thank you! I’m glad it helped you
I tried covering my first chair without watching too many videos and it came out understandably horrible lol. This video makes so much sense though and will help immensely
4 seats later and I'm super happy with how they turned out! Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know 😊
Thank you for a great tutorial. This is the best video I have found. Could you maybe do one for chair covers where you don’t use staples? I’m thinking I will probably need to wash my chair covers once in a while, as they will be used in the kitchen. It will be a big job to remove all the staples every time. I’m thinking elastic or Velcro, but I can’t find any tutorials. I know stapling is the best way to tighten the fabric, but I’m hoping to find another way. Thank you
Thank you so much you are a grate teacher in learning a lot from you God bless 🙏👍🌹🌷
I found this very helpful to cover my chair tks
Very informative? Thankful I came across your video you are very thorough!
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thumbsed up and subscribed. Thank you.
Great! I did the first (of four) seats, and it worked well, whenever I need a lot of muscles to do that job. The corner advices are very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Amy.. appreciate alot
Fantastic and informative video! You go 'above and beyond' what other tutorials try to explain and show to their audience. Well done!
finally learned how to do it. thanks for the lessons
Great instruction video, as a new learner, I got lots of tips and tricks from you, thanks
Great tutorial, feels much more secure now of doing this job myself. Now time to shop some fabric for my diningroom chairs.
Thanks!
Wow, unbelievable! Great job!
Thank you. Like others l have watched seversl video but wasted some caluable time. Yours is easy to follow with excellent results. Now my turn to put what l have learned to work! Thanks again.
👍😊
This video was super helpful! Thank you very much!
Great instruction video, one of the best I found, greetings from Belgium
Hint: If you don't want your cats to scratch your seats up, choose a velvet or ultra suede fabric. Cats like a fabric they can get their claws into and if it's smooth they don't like it. Learned this the hard way.
Thank you. This was just the advice I needed.
Well, unfortunately I found your channel after I just redid 10 dinning room chairs. I had watched several TH-cams by pros with some success, but struggled with rounded corners. Being a bit of a perfectionist I was not happy especially with corners. Then the next day I found your channel, figures. I really liked your instructional video and now I know I could have done a lot better to suit myself. I will probably redo 6 of them using your technique. Thanks Amy for posting this video which was done very well.
Thanks so much!
Thank you! Some great tips!
Great video. Very helpful.
Excellent! You are definitely a teacher as well as a craftsman. The music got on my last nerve, but otherwise it was marvelous. Thank you so much for offering help.
I hate thumbs-downers! They don't take the time out to post any videos of their own, just want to poop on the hard work of others. There are many ways and techniques that work for different folks.
I watch different tutorials, because I pick something up from everyone. In this one, how to get the fabric tight and lump-/wrinkle-free is invaluable...and getting the corners neat. Thank you for this k-I-s-s: keeping it short, sweet & simple.
My chairs have the center cut out and I had to weave furniture elastic. I was concerned about the foam and fabric, but you make me feel like pulling out the staples was the hardest and most time-consuming part. Thank you so much!
That stapler is amazing. I used a handheld t50 stapler and it was not an enjoyable experience.
You are a very good instructor. Excellent!
Thank you!
Wow! Awesome! Your a great teacher💯
