    I’ve been taking upholstery classes since 2018. My main teacher is a master upholsterer. But the way classes are set up with students working on various projects, it’s not possible to get this kind of detailed overview instruction. (Instead it’s just happening in the moment step by step without a great deal of explanation which is ok except that my learning style requires this kind of overview)
    These videos are extremely helpful for me to review the steps of projects and to see the big picture. I greatly appreciate your making and sharing these videos!

    • @faceliftinteriors

    Done some reupholstery work in the past, but now I'm ready to tackle my 25 year old Love Seat, basically a s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d chair, as in this video. Thanks! (I'm a little more confident after watching the video.)

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Love to hear this!! Good luck with your stretched chair 😜 but you’re right, it is basically the same! If it’s a round love seat, I have done a video on one of those in the past - have a look and see if you find it helpful 😊👍🏻

      Haha thank you! It does take the pain of removing each staple individually away 😅

  • @gillianbc
    @gillianbc 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm hooked - can't wait to have a go. Is there a compressor and staple gun you'd recommend for a beginner? Which one do you use? What size staples?

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m so sorry I missed your comment Gillian! I would go for the Bambi Silent compressor, it’s the one I use and it’s a good compressor. And I use Tacwise guns and they’re really reasonably priced and work great! For general upholstery I use 8mm-10mm staples and then for places like outside backs where you’ll be stapling into more than one fabric I use 12-14mm staples. Hope this helps 😊👍🏻

  • @albertkonic5479

    Hi Neil Appreciate this great tutorial, what an amazing transformation.
    I’ve got a 1940s chair that I’m hoping to recover with a beautiful, thick velvet fabric. Do you think I would be able to do this with an ordinary modern sewing machine? Would I need special needles?
    Any advice would be fab.
    Many thanks

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Debbie! Thank you so much for watching, it’s really appreciated 😊👍🏻 I think you’ll struggle with an upholstery fabric with a standard machine - you could try but without a walking foot that helps to push the fabric through for you, it may be really difficult!

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Mika! Thank you for watching! Unless the springs are completely broken you should be able to tighten the springs with webbing. But this does depend on what kind of springs they are?

    I’ve never reupholstered anything in my life, but I’ve just claimed a beautiful wing backed chair for free. It needs reupholstering. Would you recommend I strip it first because I was planning to keep to old fabric underneath. Stripping it all away seems so brutal for a complete novice. Would doubling up on the fabric be awful?

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Hi Julie - you can upholster over old fabric but I wouldn’t really recommend doing it. I find carefully stripping off the old fabric and using it as a template to copy on to the new fabric an easy way to make sure you have enough fabric and the right shapes for the furniture. But it’s not an absolute no no to upholster over old fabric if you feel more confident doing it that way...unless it’s leather, I wouldn’t upholster over leather 🤣 I’ve recently uploaded a video on how to use the old fabric to cut your new fabric - here’s the link th-cam.com/video/ExcobHrP2kY/w-d-xo.html I’m planning a video soon to show how to upholster wings of a chair so hopefully that will help too 😊👍🏻

    If you're not removing the Staples but you're cutting through them, does it not leave sharp edges that would overtime perhaps damage the new fibres?

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi there! No it cuts them clean at the wood so there’s no sharp edges when you run your hand over them. And if you do feel any, you can hammer them down. You also shouldn’t put fabric directly on to the wood, you’d have foam and dacron before the fabric.

    Hi, I just discovered your channel and subscribed! I tread through the comments, but I’m kind of unsure about what the collar is. You mentioned that it’s a piece of material for corners, but is there a video that goes through that as well? Thank you!

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Kathryn! Thank you so much for watching and for subscribing, it really means a lot! So a collar is a piece of fabric that you sew on (in the same fabric as you’re upholstering the chair in) to assist you around bends or corners and stops the fabrics gathering up. You usually put them on inside backs. I explain them in a little more detail in this video but I think I will need to make a video specifically on them as I haven’t done that yet th-cam.com/video/JDkaZFao-BY/w-d-xo.html

    Hi! So happy to find your channel!💙 Question: Ive a chair ‘similar’ to that, but 90s swivel ricker But much more plush on top & arms with the tufted buttons all on the ‘front’ backrest. Can I switch (remove) from extra plush pouffy stuff to something less plush, pouffy &/or leave out the tufted buttons?
    Just wondering if it’d be easier for me to handle with less poof around top & no buttons……it’s my first time doing a full piece-Never tried anything other than a simple seats on chairs & stools.
    Lastly, ☺️(sorry) - your ‘GRIPPER’…..was that the thing you sewed into fabric as a trim- piping!? I’ve seen rubber/plastic ones b4 but yours looked METAL & FLEXIBLE!?
    OR you referring to the long metal tool you used around same time, (looked like a metal file for filing chainsaws, As the ‘gripper’ mentioned?
    Thanks SO much If you’re actually able to respond; regardless, Great vid! 😍 please do more like this. A 90s button Tufted plush swivel rocker, perhaps! 😏

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there! Sorry for the delayed reply, thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment 😊 yes you can absolutely reupholster the inside back without buttons (and you’re right, it would be easier!) but you would need to replace the foam otherwise you’d see the holes in the foam once you put the new fabric on. The metal gripper is what I use for outside backs and arms - here’s a video showing you how I do an outside back which might explain the gripper better for you: th-cam.com/video/2bFbJJ76RRw/w-d-xo.html I also have another video on just an outside arm if you find it helpful too 😊 I hope this helps!!

    Hi, just starting to reupholster a wing back chair. Did you use 4oz wadding for padding? When doing the back what do you sew the lining fabric onto? Lovely chair and fabric, does it come in dark navy? Although would it be a difficult design to do for a beginner?

    • @faceliftinteriors
      @faceliftinteriors  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Sara! Yes I use 4oz wadding/ Dacron on this chair. So when you say the lining fabric, do you mean the inside back or the outside back? With the inside back, I used the lining to make a template to cut the collars to pull the inside back through without any puckering - the collars are made out of the fabric the chair is upholstered in. I don’t think I explained collars properly in this video but I have recently uploaded a video where I explain them more in-depth - I’ll leave the link to the video below if you wanted to have a look! This fabric does come in a navy and teal version - I wouldn’t say the fabric is an overly complicated design for a beginner...just try to keep the pattern central and straight. Good luck with your chair! Let me know how you get on 😊👍🏻
