Getting Started With Upholstery

Description Bring your furniture back looking better than ever! Join upholstery professional Cynthia Bleskachek and learn how to reupholster a chair seat. During class, you’ll build a solid repertoire of techniques you can take into your future furniture-covering endeavors, practicing on a slip-seat and side chair along the way. Discover which types of fabric best fit your needs, the proper tools for the job and how to tear back old fabric for a fresh start. Cynthia will help you conquer corners and curves to get even coverage, and show you how to make precise relief cuts for smooth, pucker-free upholstery. Plus, you’ll install tack strips for clean edges, and learn to add designer details like buttons and nailhead trim!
