Thank you Neil for all your videos they are great and so easy to understand and you're very easy to listen to. You make your videos very fun and enjoyable to watch�you�ve really helped me learn a lot about upholstery __
Each one of your videos has such a great deal of attention applied. Please continue to make these. Love them!
As a soon to be apprentice this is exactly the type of video I�ve been looking for, really looking forward to starting full time and learning as much as I can, again a great video :))
This is beyond helpful.
This was awesome! It definitely makes re-upholstery less intimidating. I'm excited for my 1st project! I'm re-upholstering my Great Grandmother's lounge chair that is now mine.
You really make me improve my skills thanks __ __
You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us. I could say that after watching your video I feel confident to start some projects that I've been procrastinating on for years.
I love your videos. Your professionalism and skills really show. I know how to sew and have done a bit of upholstery but not on this scale, so it's really informative for me to watch.
Brilliant video, very helpful with good clear instructions, I�ll be keeping my eye on you.
Love the channel. Been in the trade over 30 years myself but I still pick up some nice ideas here. Keep up the good work. Wishing you much success.
This channel is soooo helpful (and entertaining). Thank you for saving me from making a ton of mistakes.
Thank you! Great teacher!
Brilliant. Clear and very helpful.
Brilliant. Love the easy-to-follow tutorials. I am proudly on my second sofa now.
Best video I've seen so far on reupholstering.
You're soo good! You explain it all so well. I totally reupholstered my lovely 1940s chair following your video on that (it looks amazing) and now I'm covering an old square stool. I couldn't work out how to make the corners neat... now I do!
You are SOOOO Good! Wow! I have learned so much from you. I wish I was in Australia so you would do my furniture! Cheers mate!! __
The details in this video are so helpful! After watching I gained a better understanding of how to reupholster my couch. I've been checking out other videos for some time and just found this one and for me this has been the most helpful by far. Will check out your other videos. Enjoyed the bits of humor too!
I learned so much from this video. Detailed and well-explained thank you so much, I can't wait for more videos!
Your vidos are by far the best - and I've watched lots! The explanations, the causes and problem solving, the quality of filming, the timing and the results of your work make them a real source of 'how to realise' good work. Thanks a lot and a big hug from France.
Brilliant. Love the easy to follow tutorials. I am proudly on my second sofa now :-) Btw love that material, what make is it?
I've learned soo much thanks __ __
Greetings from sunny Florida! This was a great video - very clear and understandable. I appreciated the way you told us what the materials were as you used them, because I'm learning from YouTube tutorials like this, rather than taking a class.
Watched a lot of videos on button upholstery and yours is definitely the best. You�ve explained everything very clearly!
I have only just found your channel and I am really glad that I did. I have a wing back chair that needs upholstery but wasn't sure how to go about it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge as I now feel confident that I can give this a go.
Wow the information and links are extensive, thanks!
Thank you for the clear instructions here. I always look forward to your videos. I've watched them all at least 2 or 3 times each.
Learning so much from you...thank you!
I am new to the upholstery trade and your videos are by far the most helpful I've found and I've watched A LOT of YouTube videos. Cheers and thank you for invaluable content!
Your videos are so helpful. Thanks for making them. I've just started to learn to sew and I've learnt a ton from your videos already!
Brilliant! You're the Ed China of upholstery, clear idiot-proof instructions. I am on my 1st project and wish I had seen this b4 buying 3m more than I needed!
This is beyond helpful.
You. Are. INCREDIBLE! Thank you for this.
The details in this video are so helpful! After watching I gained a better understanding of how to reupholster my couch. I've been checking out other videos for some time and just found this one and for me, this has been the most helpful by far. Enjoyed the bits of humour too!
AMAZING video as all of your videos and I LOVED the fabric!!!!
Sorry but flippin smashing! Just what I need to make my massage bolsters. Clear demonstration guidance. Thank you
You are fantastic! Without even trying you just showed me, in a way I actually understand, how to sew on a zipper and how to sew in piping! I'm always shown fiddly things with so many rules and tricks that I don't even want to do it. Well, now I'm going to go try this right now. Thank you so much!
