Kim, I love the videos. They are so helpful. I am in the middle of a tufted headboard and couldn't have even begun without the video. The ladies at the fabric store didn't have I clue. I am doing this at my vacation home so its taking longer since I'm not here all the time. I am to the point of adding the batting and sewing the fabric. Wish me luck. I need it. This is a BIG project for me. Carol J.
So glad it has inspired you to finish a project. I would love to see your finished product. If you shared it on our FB when you're finished that would be great. Love your painting videos! Thanks for watching,
Kim
Dear Lady, very nice and clean job, i was looking for something like this to repair my childrens bed. Thank you very much
Thanks Kim, I enjoy your videos, I've recently started my own small business doing upholstery after buying a Sailrite nearly 4 years ago, I do now have a proper industrial machine.

Hi Ms. Kim! Indeed you're an inspiration to us! My heartfelt thanks to you for imparting to us in details your knowledge in reupholstery! ❤️🙏👍
I love how detailed you video. It makes it much easier to make the headboard right the first time. Thanks!!!
That was one of the easiest methods of tufting that I've seen! Thanks!
Thank you for watching. Kim

I have vacancy in Upholstery, country is Poland for more information contact me +917043741707
I've seen several methods but yours seem to give a more realistic feel and expensive too. love it!!!!
Thank you Natasha, We do have the full video available in more detail on our website. Classes.kimsupholstery.com.
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching. Kim
You make it look so easy...I don't trust myself doing this as much as I want to.
I've been wanting to tuft and have all these DIY tutorials but no one ever mentioned compensating the fabric for the holes!! I certainly would have been bummed when it wouldn't turn out right XD
And do you think tufting would work with a temperpedic mattress, its about 6 inches wide. We got a new mattress and I'm using the old one to make a quick square couch.
I know this is old and I came into the same findings, four years later... I think it's intimidating for the beginner and perhaps an after-thought. Im a perfectionist and I figure if you're going to spend a chunk of money restoring a settee (my project), you should do it right. I think the key is to get way more yardage than you would think. Better to be safe than sorry and if there is anything left, you can make some amazing and intricate throw pillows.
Great tutorial, you actually both show and tell instead of just showing. Looking forward to my future tufting projects.
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching. Kim
Great question. We made that headboard ourselves. Cut all the lumber,glued and fastened it together,padded it with foam and dacron,drilled all holes and tufted it.
Que bom que você gostou! Obrigado por assistir.
Kim
Thank you very much for your kind comment. We are working on more videos. We have a few about making headboards on the way. Sometimes I feel like people don't really care about our videos, but when I receive a comment like yours it really makes me smile. Thanks again.
Thanks Rosa, Yes it costs less to do it yourself but for me its the pride I get in doinging it myself. My beautiful Victorian home is filled with very low cost to no cost refurbished furniture. It becomes habbit after a while. Thanks for subscribing to my channel. Join us on Facebook and share pictures of your projects. Kim
Thanks for your comment Wendi. We use a Fasco, long nose, stapler.
You can do it Carol. It may be good that you are doing it at your vacation home. You can take it in steps and walk away when frustrated. Many people say we make it look easy but I assure you it is not. Can't tell you how many times we have pulled staples to reposition fabric. Please share pictures with us when you are done. Kim
This is lovely. You did a great job!
hi I write from mexico and I send warm greetings ... I love how well your videos are facts and I would like to go up many many videos that are very interesting and very well explained ... I love your upholstery and you I quite understand, please upload more videos ... thanks
OMG... what a savior ! This video is great. I went through a few of these videos before stumbling on yours. After watching a few, I still had so many questions that were not answered, but your video is extremely informative and well made.

Thank you mafal4824 . Kim
Beautiful work Kim...
Omg I absolutely love it!! I want wall panels with tufting..like picture fames but instead of putting pictures I want the fabric with tufting. Great video.. Im gonna have to show my husband , to see if he can make headboards for the kids beds:)
Hi Grant, Yes it is an air staple gun. We use the Fasco brand and all of ours are the long nose staple guns. You can buy them on line I'm sure. Kim
Obrigado por seu gentil comentário Jaqueline. Kim
Great tutorial, the only thing I would do differently is fold all the pleats in the same direction, pointed down so dust can’t settle into the upward facing pleats.
Muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos, desde Venezuela...
What a great video!! You make it look really easy!!
Thank you so much for uploading this. I had been looking for a tutorial video on this as I want to do ir for my bed...
Thank you!!!
Excellent demo! I am truly inspired to make my headboard tufted afterall!
Thanks stacyandsteve Please share pics when you finish. Would love to see them.
Best tufting video ever
U make it look so easy, i know it not that easy but will definitely give it a try lol i have a king size :-)
Mucho Gracias. Kim
Thanks so much. Go for it! I would love to see your finished headboard when your done. If you could post pics on our FB page it would be great. Good luck I know you can do it. Thanks for watching, Kim
Can you tuft a headboard that has designs already?
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!
You are very welcome Tanya. Are you building a headboard?
Thank you Rafael.
Thank You, Kim
Hi Alice,
Lets try and unconfuse you! This twin headboard is 40"W (my mattress is 39"W not 27) My headboard frame is 2" thick and I used a 2" foam plus Dacron to pad (approximately 3" thick total) So, that gives me my 2" frame plus padding of 3" for a total of 5" in thickness. So 5" each side ( 10" total) Plus my 40" width of headboard. Now I add 2" to each side to staple on the back of the frame. So when I wrap my tape measure around the headboard I get 54" total cut width.
: )Kim
wow you make it look so easy! Great job!
This is stunning. What little girl wouldn't love to have this headboard.
Thanks R MARTIN I am hoping to do one for my granddaughter when she moves up to a twin bed.
Thanks for watching Sebastain. Please share pictures of your project. Kim
Kim your video is great. I have a theory on tufting both sides. Do both sides at once. The button needle goes thru both sides and a button on each end of the string tying the buttons together. After all the buttons are tied then staple the main side around the back side and then staple the back side to the edge, then cover the edge with ply grip or decorative nails, or gimp. Just a theory.......
This is what excellent craftsmanship is all about!!! Amazing work! The best tutorial ever. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work Kim. God Bless you
Love the fabric, did you buy online?
Looks amaizing, thank you so much for the tutorial I was looking for one for years now. Definetly going in my favorites :)
Thank you Jenna Mitrovic . Will you be making your own headboard? Kim
I will try, I will be buy an apt. soon (untill the end of a year) so I will try to. Thank you once again for posting the video.
P.S. I tried getting the same needle as you did but I could not find it, would you tell me where to get it and also what string is best?
Thank you :)
I wanted to make a headboard on a pre made bed and I actually used cardboard and stick it to my bed and it turned put pretty well. Thanks for your support. I used gum strips and fevi bond to stick it to my bed. I could share a photo if you want me too.
Dravish Garg Sounds pretty interesting. Please do share pictures. Could you put them on my Kims Upholstery FaceBook page. Thanks Kim
Hi Hollie, we make our own buttons to match the fabric, but I bet you could pick something up in a craft store that would work. Thanks for watching. Please join us on FaceBook. Kim
Wow! You are amazing 😃😃😃 thank you, your Explanation was amazing.❤️❤️❤️
We use a button press with a cutter and dies to make the buttons.
Kim
Thank you for your comment. Kim
Thank You.
You taught me how to upholstery Kim
Oooooo no no no !!!! We DO CARE!!!!! We do appreciate your work... its very helpful to us!!!! Thanks and God bless you
Hello, I have never done tufting on both sides so I am not sure how to approach it. If I come up with anything I will let you know. Thanks for watching our videos, Kim
I love this! I'm going to attempt this soon! Wish me luck! :)
Thanks for your input Mark. Your theory should work just fine. Kim
great .. you are talented !! thanks for sharing :)
Thanks for the help. Guess I wasn't thinking right. I only just today found your replies, May 2. Hereafter I will just make a call but haven't done so as it will take you away from more important things. I thought replies back to me went into my e-mail account but it went somewhere else...still need to figure this out. Thank you Kim, your tutorial is great and thankfully w/o annoying music as another site uses. If I've missed something it's me, not you.
Awesome job!
¡gracias Elonardo Kim
dobakito, determining the spacing of your buttons would depend on the height of your headboard and the fabric you choose. It really boils down to what ever looks good to you. If it's your headboard and you like it, it's perfect.
Kim
Thanks for your comment. It gets easier with practice. Get yourself a piece of furniture at a flea market for $10 dollars and search for some really inexpensive fabric then give it a try. Take pictures as you tear down so you will know how to put it back together. Have some fun. Kim
Hi Bitchinc, You can make one easily. Just watch our videos and give it a try. If you need more help we also have a tufted headboard video for sale that goes in to more detail, including the build.
Kim
Great tutorial.
Hi +DeanaWade, Thanks for watching and sharing our video.
That sounds interesting. Please send pictures of your project when you are done. I would love to see them. A video response would be even better, Thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel.
Kim
BEST TUTORIAL EVER. I WANT TO DO MY KING SIZE BED. big project I know.
Gorgeous!
Kims ur work is amaizng
Thanks Rachel. To be honest, I had many blisters before I figured it out. Kim
The fabric is a cotton poly blend. I'm afraid I don't understand the rest of your question. Sorry
Kim
La tela es una mezcla de poli algodón. Me temo que no entiendo el resto de tu pregunta. triste
Kim
awesome kim, thank-you
Thanks for watching +YoCarter. Kim
VERY NICE JOB LOVE IT THANKS
Greeeaaaat! Loved it!
Thanks for watching,
Kim
Hi, thanks for the video. Will u kindly show the stand u use when making the your headboard..
Thank you so much
thank you! I just liked your page! :)
Wow very cute! Looking to make this for my room. What kind of fabric did you use?
Was there a first video showing how you put on the batting and decided where to put the button holes?
This is sooo cool.
Kim I love your work! Thank you for sharing your techniques. I would like to know which is the best smaller pneumatic stapler you have used for work.
Hi Raquel,
I use a fasco long nose upholstery stapler. I have a few of them. Thanks for watching, Kim
We used 2 inch foam. Kim
next project!
+katie maze Hi Katie. Our next project for YT is a quick video of the re-upholstering of an antique bench. Thanks for watching. Kim
Yes, great job!
very nice you definitely have a talent really awesome.
Thank you Wayne.
is there a part one to this video? on what she did to make the headboard before she tufted it?
Hi Kim ... A friend and I are looking at creating our own headboards and your videos have given us inspiration ... being a total novice could, and i am sure someone has asked this already ... but what sort of air tool are you using? Is it an air staple gun? Thanks again for your awesome videos from New Zealand!!
This is great. I want to tuft a sleigh bed. Both footboard and headboard. Do you have a technique for deep tufting both sides?
Very interesting!
Hi Kim...thank you so much for this tutorial. Trying to do a floating tufted headboard but would also like to add 2 mirrors on the headboard. Would you happen to have an idea or a tutorial on that?
thank u so much for sharing.
Kim, I love this! Except my headboard cannot be detached and it is made of metal. Is it possible and does it make sense doing a headboard as in your video but as a covering using the same technique?
Awesome video!! Do we need to use batting? Or can we just use the fabric?
eu achei lindo! parabéns pelo seu ótimo trabalho! bjos
me encanto ...una pregunta?? que tipo de tela uso y como se llamarian los botones que uso ??????????????desde ya se lo agradesco que Dios siga bendiciendola
Thanks Jasmine, I would love to see your finished headboard. Please post it on our FB page if you would.
Thanks, Kim
Are certain fabrics harder to do this tufting to than others? I've wanted to do this, but would like to use silk. It looks as if it would be easier to do with fabrics that have a lot more stretch though, right?
wow Ms Kim, you are great! Do you sell what you make?
Thanks Carmen, I don't make anything specifically to sell. My work is commissioned by clients.
Thanks for watching. Kim
Thank you, I believe I might succeed now. Which staple gun are you using please?
obrigado
