    Thank you for this video. I was able to fix my bench after a button fell off with a bent washer and Kevlar thread. Also thank you for your other slip knot video!

    Hi there. Do you find that type of van is good enough to transport most of the upholstery work? Or would you recommend a bigger one.

    Thank you for this! I have an antique bench that is beautiful but the caning is all busted out and it's way too expensive to fix so I was just going to rip out the caning and cover it in canvas but I love this idea because it felt wrong to pull out all that caning.

    thank you so much for the tutorial; may I ask how is the width of the gimp and if it should be the lighter or darker version of the fabric colour ? 3m per chair is enough?

    I am a designer and for my masters project I've created a similarly wacky armchair. I had some reupholstery experience, but upholstering my own design is so difficult compared to what I've done before. Not a single professional wanted to touch that 😂 thanks for the video.

    If you could find a way to mount your camera above your shoulder, maybe from the ceiling, it would be great! A lot of details are missed between the camera being blocked and not being close enough. Great demonstration of how to use the strips. Thank you!

    Hi. Thank you for making this video. I bought a 2.8 density 50 ILD foam sheet and putting some dacron around it- i find it super comfortable with very good support. Now i am considering doing my back cushions too and thinking whether I should do the 2.6 density 35 ILD foam sheet or something softer. Do people use such a firm back cushion?

    Thank you so very much. We had an older chair from my wife's grandfather that wasn't nice enough to pay for reupolstering but still usable. Without the button it wasn't usable for us. Your video taught me how to fix it and we will enjoy the chair for many more years!
