How To Upholster A Wooden Arm Chair - For The Upholstery Beginner
kimsupholstery.com/online-clas...
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.

Kim's ! I love you video , I have 2 arm chair , I thrift in Salvation army about 4 years ago , you video make me feel motivated . I'm afraid to upholster this chair , is my first time , I never did before . But wait your video, something tell me , just go ahead and do at , I going to tray , upholster this beautiful arm chair . Thank you very much for this video😂🥰
Absolutely great video, thanks! I watched some previous videos for ideas on making cushions. My daughters outside furniture cushions disintegrated and this was a first time adventure for me. I found your videos very helpful and the cushions came out great! Not perfect but great and it made my daughter very happy, which was the whole reason for attempting the job. It took me weeks, but I kept getting stumped and had to review videos for support, but it was well worth the time and effort! Thanks again!
Oh my... never realized how much work really goes into this. Thank you for sharing :)
I watched a few other videos and then this one. What a difference!! Yours is the work of a true professional. Thank you for sharing your craft. I do not think I would be able to do as good a job as you, and watching this video makes me want to go to a professional to have the work done, as it seems I could probably botch the antique chair and ruin it. What a great way to advertise! Thanks again!!
what a gorgeous fabric! and thanks for sharing your experience! I absolutely love your work and learn a lot watching your videos
Thank you so much for this video and sharing your expertise! I have been following along step-by-step working on a similar chair and this video has been extremely helpful as a guide. To say I have learned a lot is an understatement. You do make it look easy and I have certainly gained a healthy respect for upholsterers.
Nice one, great video, I've been going round the recycling centres for years getting things to do up for my house, now it's full to the brim I'm a little bit gutted there's no need for me to do it any more, then I realised I could get things, do them up and sell them, it's a hobby really, the trouble is I usually like the things I've done up and want to keep them!! I think I need a bigger house!! Thanks for the lesson!!
What a wonderful video! So inspiring and with just enough detail to inspire me to delve into this more : ) Off to watch the rest of your videos now!
Absolutely beautiful! I love watching your videos; I so want to learn how to do this!
Thanks for sharing your video; I've got an arm chair that I want to reupholster, so I'm going to try using your techniques. You made this look super easy!
Thanks! I feel more confident about tackling my old chair.
Wow! very nice finish but long process that only a professional will make. Thanks so much
Great video! Afraid I don’t have the patience needed for this kind of project, but I enjoyed watching you make it look so easy! Lol Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!!
Incredible finished product, I need a new hobby for 2018 and I think this may be the one! Great work!
YOUR AMAZING!! I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO LEARN THIS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND IN SHAPE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. I GREATLY APPRECIATED WATCHING YOU DO THIS. SUCH BEAUTIFUL FABRIC. THANKS AGAIN
You make it look so easy and simple! I wish I could do this :(
Thank goodness I found you. I am now browsing through your website. This is exactly what I need. Thank you.

Thank you. It looks like a lot if work. I have a couple of chairs and stools I want to recover. But I'm not exactly excited to do it.
The additional mouse squeaks made this a super fun video to learn.
I think if I were an upholster I would be happy... This was beautifully done, great video!
An excellent tuition video - a great result to. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! I just reupholstered my first chair and it turned out fabulous only because I had this video to follow!

Loved watching this as i'd like to try this for some dining chairs. The silver strip of grab - where do you buy that - just an upholstery shop? It makes the finished product with the piping look so much more professional.

you're amazing :) having a custom toddler sofa chair done for my son on christmas but know that it may have staples showing in the backside where the fabric is held down. Started looking for ways to use upholstery tacks, which led me to you. it's absolutely wonderful to be inspired by you :) never thought I'd actually feel I could do this on my own, which I won't this time, but wow! Amazing job & video :)

Loved this video. Thank you very much for sharing. Do you have a more detailed version?
Me! Dance! Haha. Up until 3 months ago I was an upholster/soft furnisher 20+ years. Maybe dance should be my new vocation lol. BTW, i have looked quite a bit on youtube the last 3 years and your videos seem to be among the best on here, It could do with some English equivalent names for some things. Some things have Weird enough names to begin with so might be hard for this side of the pond learners to find what they need. Such as a welt seam is piping over here. All the best.
excellent video. makes me want to attempt upholstery
Simply amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Ann, love this segment. I wanted to know how have you been doing this and how did you get started. I always wanted to learn how.
I still get nervous making the cuts around the arms. It's another beautiful job Kim. (I've never stapled cotton--just the Dacron.) Thanks for sharing your work!
why oh why can't I do this? You made it look sooo easy ..and the chair turned out so beautiful!!! Im sooo jealous.

Good job and talented
I think that would be a good video. A lot of learners/hobbyists probably jump in to the cuts to early and it's a good lesson to teach how to make prep cuts, so you can lay the fabric out for prep cuts on a confusing piece. Good plan batman. Sorry, I'm hijacking. Zipping my lip.
Great job!
This is awesome! Thanks!
This seems to be exactly what I need to finish that old rocking chair that I started years ago. Thank you.
