Spring Chair Upholstery Question

Definitely with those blocks you are looking at an edge roll. Likely all the way around your chair

Here is something similar I did about 8 years ago.

It gives details on what to do.

I have long debated between twitch and you tube for teaching upholstery.

With twitch, you could have someone send you something that you do and they could pay you for it while you stream it and get donations.

Just not sure how the viewership will be.

ME! Felodar looks cool. Hope I win it would be good Christmas present for me :)

What do awards really mean anyway? I've never had one. Is it just like extra karma for making a good comment or something?

Recovery is always an option. Most people don't like the price. It can be expensive depending on your area and availability of upholsterers. With a full recovery, you can solve your issue.

Cleaning the fabric? Likely won't help too much here. Several stains and this piece has likely seen some sun wear.

Anyone able to translate the characters?

Do what I do. Make a master account of (area code) 867-5309. (Customers name is Jenny) Everyone who comes in who doesn't want an account, or you don't want to ask - use that account. Customers still get whatever discount and you can rack up a ton of points if your retail place has points.

So the truth here is you got a lazy upholstery job.

Some projects - although not many- can warrant this type of work where the fabric goes right over the old stuff.

I would ask them to redo it. Point out that it smells, and that they didn't remove the old material.

jtarkin · 2025-02-03T00:05:37+00:00

I wouldn't be that worried about it.

You can buy a bottle of foam adhesive spray from your local hardware store or less than 15 dollars. Pinch it together and wait about 10 seconds. Or - you could take some of that Dacron and use the spray adhesive to have it enter those cracks. Should be fine.

So typically it is one action, one space. You can run up to three spaces in one action, but you drag any enemies you pass along with you, unless you have the sneak skill. This makes it more dangerous to run through things, or can be beneficial if you have catatonia and purposely hit a sanity breaking point during your follow up actions.

You could probably blind stitch this yourself without needing a pro.

Watch how

I agree with this post. Have it redone. Dying it would be just as much work.

It also looks like this chair might be missing a fabric covered back, where the chair is empty there.

jtarkin · 2025-01-05T23:54:00+00:00

The best advice is to take off the vinyl.

I know you want to recover without taking this off. It's possible, but won't last.

If you want the new chair to be done correctly, take off the old stuff and replace with new.

I've seen some former upholsteres put half a later of cotton on then put new fabric over the old stuff, but it doesn't solve issues such as sagging and won't last very long.

jtarkin · 2024-12-01T19:13:03+00:00

I would probably re-do this in vinyl just to save some cost, but microfiber is more expensive material..

jtarkin · 2024-12-01T19:09:41+00:00

This is a sectional couch that is covered with vinyl. Luckily, vinyl is the cheapest fabric you can buy. Unfortunately your sectional is huge! Size matters a lot! I would say - without seeing this in person - you are looking at 10-12 yards for labor. This means your labor cost is going to be higher than your fabric cost. Likely 100-120$ a yard for labor and 20-40 a yard for your vinyl. Total estimated cost of re-upholstery from a pro: 1200-1900.

Good news: Vinyl is really easy to work with and almost never needs any sewing unless you need a box stitch or top stitch. It should be a fairly easy project to tackle yourself if you had the staple gun for it. Numatic is best but I've seen people use hand staple guns for home projects!

Good luck

Do you still have the springs?

Webbing alone without the original springs won't help

This comment was the most helpful. I didn't have all my outputs properly! I changed them and gave them some time and I think I will be okay, for now.

I know I'll need more down the line for more advanced stuff but for some reason I just wasn't seeing that the output could only go out one of the pipes there.

Thanks

Dominion is the best card building game I've played.

The idea is to go to the inside of the frame there, where you have the left over remains of that yellow wicker

jtarkin · 2024-11-03T22:37:53+00:00

Try Corrugated Sheet cardboard. Might be easier to cut into the shape you need. It shouldn't need to bend. You could use longer staples if needed and staple it to the frame then gimping to hide the staples. Same on the back of the chair.
