Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I've looked at a lot of upholstering videos and you are the only practitioner I've seen who understands the vital importance of fabric weave/grain. Because of your instructions, I am taking the extra step of pulling out one crosswise and one lengthwise thread from the foundation fabrics I'm using (not the show fabric) which leaves me with barely visible lines showing the layout of the grains. My old eyes aren't too great so I mark those lines with chalk to make them more visible. I've seen upholsterers attach fabrics rather clumsily on the bias and then complain about the resulting stretchiness of their fabric . . . okay; I've never done upholstery before my current project but I was an amateur seamstress for 55 years so I know how one achieves stability. And THANK YOU so much for showing exactly how to cut the fabric openings around the chair stiles. I've been fighting with practicing that for months now, unknowingly following very bad online advice. I came back to you to seek better instructions and found them in this video, which is very important to me since I am about to cut silk/cotton damask outer fabric and can't afford to make any more mistakes. This is my first upholstery project -- I am working on an antique Queen Anne/King Richard-style side chair (found at the Salvation Army) whose elegant frame was close to destroyed by very bad upholstery work. I spent weeks clamping and hide-gluing and all that until the chair was solid again. I am so grateful to you. If my budget ever improves, I hope to contribute to your financial support. I'm poor as heck but I owe you, sir.
I always wished I had a grandfather, father, or father figure that had taken interest or taught me some type of craftsmanship that I could pass down to my own children one day. I do however have allot of family that is very creative, and artsy so it’s deep in my genes. What I plan on doing is learning some type of trade very well so that I can pass that knowledge down. I’m very interested in fixing up furniture and people are always going to bed furniture. Thank you for your lessons! You are very detail oriented and symmetrical which I Appreciate!!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Stay safe and take care!
I am not an upholsterer and I have no desire to be an upholsterer, that being said your direction was so easy to understand that I feel like i could almost go out and do a tufting job. Your videos are so calming and concise.
I'm curious as to what determines reuse the existing cotton batting or horse hair and when to use replace with new material. Amazing to watch you work and why you do what you do.
You a superb craftsman! Thank you for sharing this for free. A limited home project brought me to your website, but now I see what a true artisan can do, I understand why this work is so specialized and expensive. I made a small $20 donation to your channel instead of handing $ to yet another political campaign , as you have saved me time, money, and research, and I respect your entrepreneurship. I encourage others to do the same!
Happy New Year Kim. I am diving back into my grandparent's Victorian and was debating on if I could handle the tufting. Thank you so much for this video. Thx, Kathy
So glad you posted this. I have victorian settee with the diamond tufted back. I have had it for years and have been waiting until I absolutely need to recover it to replace the fabric with something that has more pattern. It is covered in a solid green velvet. When I do recover it I want to use a tapestry like chenille fabric. Don't really know if there is another name for the fabric I am talking about... Would that be a good choice with the diamond tufts? I have a little concern about where the buttons would go thru the material maybe wearing more in spots because of the uneven weave of this fabric. Is that something to worry about or not? I know there is a lot of tension on where the buttons are tied. I just don't want that tension around the buttons wearing thru the thin weave of the material. Have you ever used a tapestry type chenille fabric on a piece with the diamond tufting. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Love your videos absolutely love watching you work. You are a master of your craft. God bless ✌✌✌✌
Too many tufted pieces are ruined by mixing in patterned fabrics. The pattern is going to get broken apart and the lines in the tufting will get hidden and not show well. Solid colors are best with tufting.
Excelente trabajo!!! Pero es una pena no poder comprender el idioma para poder apresiar mejor sus consejos y orientación para sacarle el màximo provecho.
I'm SO happy when I hear the ding-ding and it's you. 💖💖💖

I guess there's no way to edit that post but I meant to say King George and typed King Richard instead. Brain glitch . . .
That what i call the old days of upholstery i salute you and i can't wait to see the second video. thank you for sharing your experience
Definitely found your calling what a talent
It's OK that we missed some of the layout, we're just glad you did hit record!
You make it look so easy…and do relaxing…. If only it was that way for me 🙂. Thank you for the tutorial, I’ll keep at it!
Just the information I need for my next project! Thank you.

Thanks for tuning in and your kind words. Good luck, "Buck".
Absolutely love watching these videos.
😮 and THAT'S how a pro does it.
Always so happy when you turn on your camera!! ✝✡😊😊
Nice work brother. Thanks for sharing your remarkable talent. Bravo.
I pay nearly as much attention to the vinyl choices as I do the upholstery, both excellent of course 😎
Thank you so much for the informative videos!
Wonderful, great idea to put height on the chair. Love the heart shape. Great project to show us. Thankyou!
Keep making these video's it's a pleasure to learn from expert like you ❤️
Quite amazing! Another masterpiece! Thank you.

Great job! It's turned out beautiful so far. Is there going to be a part 2 for the finish?
👏 WOW!! BRILLIANT
There's some good upholstery videos out there, but not as good as yours. You're more of a craftsman, and you do really good detailed work.

Just lay the old cover swept out clean and the numbers won't be needed.
Man, you were not paying attention!!! The old layout was horribly off. I suggest you watch this again, a bit more closely.
