Thank you! Great teacher!

@borge2014

This is beyond helpful.

@mosieposie3477

I've learned soo much thanks __ __

@ogbenavides8364

This is beyond helpful.

@mosieposie3477

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.

@amypw57

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.

@SidneyEvancich

Learning so much from you...thank you!

@mandydriscoll2043

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!

@judya3455

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.

@luckyluke3590

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.

@sandybush1661

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 :))

@johnathanparkhill4088

Brilliant video, very helpful with good clear instructions, I�ll be keeping my eye on you.

@janpeters1168

Watched a lot of videos on button upholstery and yours is definitely the best. You�ve explained everything very clearly!

@Sorcli

Brilliant. Love the easy-to-follow tutorials. I am proudly on my second sofa now.

@jaybee6800

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.

@raquelthenjimenez1564

Brilliant. Love the easy to follow tutorials. I am proudly on my second sofa now :-) Btw love that material, what make is it?

@jaybee6800

Best video I've seen so far on reupholstering.

@jasdhaliwal336

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!

@debbiedigger5449

This channel is soooo helpful (and entertaining). Thank you for saving me from making a ton of mistakes.

@pdilutis

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!

@saraparadis

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.

@valritajones4044

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.

@loribragg2947

You really make me improve my skills thanks __ __

@mbicelestine8462

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!

@audriscarborough9309

AMAZING video as all of your videos and I LOVED the fabric!!!!

@moniquesn333

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!

@jackyjb5856

Brilliant. Clear and very helpful.

@debbyrucci2471

You. Are. INCREDIBLE! Thank you for this.

@donnamariajones8960

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.

@stevenhuxtable1519

Each one of your videos has such a great deal of attention applied. Please continue to make these. Love them!
