Complete Step by Step Upholstery Book

Have you always wanted a beautiful set of drop-in-seat dining chairs but never thought you could afford them? If you have, then why not try upholstering yourself? All you need is some basic tools, a chair and this book. This Complete Step by Step Upholstery book is for anyone who wants to become a skilled upholsterer. It contains a total of 15 step-by-step projects with color photographs showing you exactly what you need to do. Divided into four chapters-Chairs, Tables, Beds and Windows. There are no off-putting technical diagrams and no artworks that you can't relate to the piece of furniture you're working on. Everything has been written and photographed to make learning upholstery accessible and enjoyable. In addition to the projects there is advice on what tools and materials to buy, where to find furniture and what you should be looking for. This is followed by a section on basic techniques, such as stripping furniture, webbing, knots, stuffing and making cutting plans. Restorers offers a variety of reference books for home improvements.
