    I have watched tons of videos on vinyl upholstery.... all crap until I came upon this one! This is by far the best video on doing vinyl there is. Thank you so much!

    I'm doing a $5k job on a yacht for just one room and EVERYTHING she says is TOPS. And that staple remover is the BEST especially if you have to remove the old vinyl without tearing it up if you need to use it as a template for od shaped cushions..

    I do atv seat covers and the corners have been my biggest challenge for the last 10 years. Reviewing other techniques have gotten me this far but I can look at corners a little differently now, thanks.

    Just happened to see your video. I am in the process of upholstery the seat and back rest on my John Deere tractor. This is a big help, wish we were neighbors. Very good video.

    OMG....You came into my life the at the right moment.....redoing the seat cushions on beautiful solid maple dining chairs I bought as dining table set. The table and 6 chairs were bought 10 years ago for $4500...I was able to buy second hand for $500 which were in mint condition. The seats were done in a ugly flower fabric so I bought some 4 way stretch faux black leather to redo. I followed one video doing pleaded corners but did not work well on the first cushion I did. Your gathering method makes so much sense. Thank you so much.

    The thinner the vinyl the more cracking it will develop later. Cracking usually takes place around edges of armrests and on the sides of cusions. I do like your videos. Great work there. Thank you.

  • @mathewtva
    @mathewtva 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did it! Thanks for your video. A few things I learned.
    - 4-way vinyl is expensive. For a non-circular chair seat, I got away with 2-way stretch for $6/yd. plus shipping
    - Spring loaded staple gun was fine. Chair had T50 1/4" 6MM staples so I matched when replacing.
    - For the corners, you should expect and indeed WANT creases ON THE UNDER SIDE. As you work around the corner, drive the vinyl perpendicular to the edge and pull and staple the created under-side creases a couple of times (staples are cheap).

    Investing in a upholstery air stapler will make your life a heck of a lot easier when you need ridiculous accuracy 😁👍I have one like hers AND the specialized one. And they're not even that expensive. Anywhere from 20 to 60 dollars depending on where you shop..

    Well after about 70 thousand tries and running out of staples because I had to pull so many back out I now know how far I can frisbee my seat base and it's roughly 67 feet and then a truck ran over it and broke it. So there's that and really good tutorial btw and I'm not gonna quit my day job.

    Aimee: May I suggest you do a video addressing bar rails, gaming table rails (roulette/blackjack/poker/craps) which will greatly expand your audience to include males. I am finding your Working with Vinyl video very helpful as it involves some of the corners and rounded end challenges that a bar rail presents.

    @Daniel-zl8jj 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for sharing all your tips great positive attitude 👍 you stated you bought your vinyl from a local store, around Lincoln Nebraska we have Jo-Ann Fabrics, I've bought Marine vinyl there but it definitely wasn't 4-way stretch. Are there online stores or am I overlooking something locally Anybody out there suggestions? One other question is what denisty foam are you using? I've only ever done one piano bench, but have 5 round stools and a work chair I'm evaluating.

    • @ArtisanUpholsteryStudio
      @ArtisanUpholsteryStudio  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m not sure what you can purchase locally, but maybe someone else can help. Even if you ask at the store, they may be able to help you find it or be able to order it for you. I use high density foam, and there is foam you can buy that is specific for marine use.
