Nice guide for furniture fixing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Good photos, easy to read and understand. I felt it was a primer for how to reupholster. There are a couple of items that could have been clearer, or perhaps a bit more remedial, but if you're just starting out like I am, it's definately worth the price. This book was easier to understand than the how-to video I purchased.
A Great Springboard!

This is the only upholstery book I own - and with it, I have upholstered every piece of furniture in my house! The author has instructions for all of the basics of upholstery while focused on specific projects. She has 4 or 5 types of dining chairs, 4 or 5 types of arm chairs, ottomans, sofas, slipcovers, all kinds of furniture - even headboards! All with great step-by-step color photos.No upholstery book is going to have a picture of the couch in your livingroom. This book is designed to be a resource so you can use her directions for the arm on Chair 3 and the back on Sofa 2. This book is not a decorating book. If you want decorating ideas, buy another book. This is a great how-to-book for the basics of upholstery.If you are basically handy and have an attitude that 'It can't be that complicated' - you will love this book. I have upholstered 3 couches, 16 diningroom chairs, 5 various styles of armchairs, and 1 tufted fainting couch (82 buttons!) - all from techniques I learned from this book.The one thing that the book is missing (and I think 50% of how to upholster) is the motto 'Put it back together the way you took it apart'!
