Upholstery is the work of providing furniture, especially seats, with padding, springs, webbing, and fabric or leather covers. The word upholstery comes from the Middle English word upholder, which referred to a tradesman who held up his goods. The term is equally applicable to domestic, automobile, airplane and boat furniture, and can be applied to mattresses, particularly the upper layers, though these often differ significantly in design. A person who works with upholstery is called an upholsterer; an apprentice upholsterer is sometimes called an outsider or trimmer. Traditional upholstery uses materials like coil springs (post-1850), animal hair (horse, hog and cow), coir, straw and hay, hessians, linen scrims, wadding, etc., and is done by hand, building each layer up. In contrast, modern upholsterers employ synthetic materials like dacron and vinyl, serpentine springs, and so on.
Upholder is an archaic term used for 'upholsterer' in the past, although it appears to have a connotation of repairing furniture rather than creating new upholstered pieces from scratch (c.f. cobbler vs. cordwainer).
How To Upholster A Wooden Arm Chair - For The Upholstery Beginner http://kimsupholstery.com/online-classes/membership-benefits/ I get many emails each week asking for advice on upholstering that first piece of furniture. If you start small and gradually build up to more difficult pieces you will probably have less frustration and save money. Making the wrong cuts in your fabric, putting fabric on in the wrong order or choosing the wrong materials is costly. While upholstering a chair of this type you will learn to: • Use upholstery tools. • Tear down. • Install a base for springs. • Tie Springs. • Pad up your project. • Measure and cut fabric. • Center your fabric. • Attach your fabric. • Add cording. • Close the outside back. • Put on a dust cover.
We are still remodeling the area destined to edit and upload our upholstery videos. As part of the decoration, we have considered a panel with a 'diamond tufting design', so in fashion lately. And, I could not overlook to share and teach some of my self-taught knowledge I have acquired through the years. As most of my videos, these are mainly aimed to my users who are beginners and are eager to learn some of the upholstery techniques. These part one and part two videos will teach a basic training that, would make us understand and improve this technique. I hope you find it useful!

New web: http://www.upholsterytutorials.com/ Store: http://upholsterytrainingprograms.blogspot.mx/p/store_3816.html This is another interesting basic video that would make us, get a better understanding of how to do the 'forward panels' on car seats. Needless to say, all of these basic videos are intended to people who is starting to learn this beautiful and lucrative art. Follow my instructions and in a very near future we will be together performing 'real size upholstery projects'. I hope you find this video useful!

http://www.upholsterytrainingprograms.com/ Miguel from USA, one of my youtube followers emailed me to give a suggestion or idea on how to deal with convex and concave pieces while sewing. As a matter of fact, it is not an easy task for people who does not have much expertise. This basic video shows two ways of attaching the pieces together by sewing. In the first way, I use little cuts to evenly help fold the edges. It can be used when we do simple or flat covers. The second way consists in sewing the lateral panel to the main plate and is used when we do foamed or heavy projects. I used a small piece to do the demonstration that would make us understand what about. To sew bigger projects would be easier to handle. Very soon we will be performing real size uphol...
http://www.upholsterytrainingprograms.com/ Because of the position of its fibers, the leather material has more elasticity in one direction (to the left and right sides) than the other direction upwards and downwards (from the head to the tail) that is stiffer. It is important to add that the stretching is not evenly if we scrutinize all over the surface of our leather hide (e.g back and butt areas are stiffer than belly areas). Leather does not behave as vinyl that it stretches evenly along its stretchy side. Taking advantage of this little knowledge, we can mold leather onto some pieces which need to be customized with this beautiful material. In the case I show in the video, I have decided to do it one piece; but to ease the job, we could cut and sew in some required parts...it depend...
The Upholstery Tack Strip is used in upholstering to eliminate hand sewing by creating a straight, smooth edge, generally on the outside arms and backs of furniture. During the upholstering process, there will be seams along the edges where it is not ideal to show nails, tacks, or staples. This rigid galvanized metal strip gives a finished look to projects, creating neat and professionally finished edges where desired.

Carburetors man... that's what life is all about
[That's what life is all about]
[That's what life is all about]
[That's what life is all about]
[That's what it's all about]
I was not myself last night - lost a fight, my woody barely running
By a dude I should have beat, and on the street a blow like that is
stunning
I finally lost control - I tore my tuck-n-roll
{1st chorus}
Upholstery - Where my baby sits up close to me [ooo aah ooo aah]
That's supposed to be what our life is all about [all about]
Upholstery where my baby sits up close to me [ooo aah ooo aaah]
That's supposed to be what our life is all about [all about]
Of all life's mysteries the greatest one I've seen [tell me why]
My short runs better when it's clean
I was not myself last night - I ran a light without my registration
Where the cops were bound to see, and you know me - already on probation
I wound up on parole - I tore my tuck-n-roll
{repeat 1st chorus 2x}
Upholstery - Where my baby sits up close to me [ooo aaah ooo aaah]
That's supposed to be what life is all about[ooo aaah all about]
Upholstery where my baby sits up close to me [ooo aah ooo aah]
That's supposed to be what our life is all about [that's what it's all
about]
My upholstery [aaah ooo aaah ooo aaah]
Where my baby sits up close to me [ooo aah ooo aah]
That's supposed to be what our life is all about
