Thank you for your comment. I had lost the first part of showing the lining going into place, but at 5.55 I show how I am putting the second side of the lining in and explain how it was a repeat of the first side.

Thank you for your question. If you are asking about the film with the casters on the chair, I used a tack remover, although a flat-head screwdriver will be just as good. Otherwise, use scissors and/or a seem ripper to remove the stitches as in this video. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for your comment. The spray glue can be quite noxious, the openness of the Dacron does allow the fumes to escape into the air more freely.

Thank you for your comment, this is a little awkward to do.

Thank you for your comment. This method can also help with little tears in the fabric as well.

Thank you for the feedback. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for your question. You might be able to harvest the replacement fabric from the side or zip border and use that to patch the hole then add in fabric as close to the colour of the border to patch that area. I am not sure if this video will give you any suggestions as to taking fabric from the border for the repair. ruclips.net/video/BWQZdGAjlrg/видео.html

Thank you for your question. At the moment I am using an Arrow Pt50 18-guage 3/8 in Medium Crown Finish Stapler. I need a compressor with it. I bought mine from Lowes and it was about $40. If you are starting out or looking at upholstery as a hobby, I suggest an electric staple gun for now. They work well in my experience and are about the same cost without the extra for the compressor and hoses. I hope this helps with your decision.

And, our cats could be identical twins.

Thank you for your comment. It is nice to hear feedback on my video, especially about how well your chair turned out. My intent was to create easy-to-follow tutorials that explained and showed as much as possible the techniques used to complete a project similar to the one shown. I also show the frustrating parts of projects as that is important too.

@@melaniemorlan5404 Is your cat as naughty as mine could be?

Thank you for your comment. It is nice to know this video has given you a way to save your cushions. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for your comment. The center firmer foam holds up better, and the softer foam on the outsides allows a little give. I have been making seat cushions this way for a number of years now and my friends and clients have been very pleased with the results.

Thank you for your question. I would suggest putting a fabric behind to enforce where you intend to stitch and advise cutting back any frayed threads to the more substantial fabric as then you will be sewing the stronger fabric to the patch underneath. Another way of dealing with the problem is to remove the whole area and replace it with either replace it with something similar in colour and texture or pop in a contrast fabric. I hope this will help with your decision. I am not sure if this video will be of use as it harvests the fabric required for the patch from the border. ruclips.net/video/BWQZdGAjlrg/видео.html

Thank you for your comment and I appreciate your support. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for your comment. To be honest, I got rid of my industrial sewing machines several years ago when I decided to retire from this business. As you can see I have not quite managed to achieve that change in my life as many of my friends still ask me to help them with projects. I am of the opinion that many of the people I interact with through my videos wouldn't try these projects if I did use an industrial machine as they would see their domestic machines as not able to cope with the fabrics they want to use. I am reaching out to home crafters/sewers who want to try their hand at a new hobby or who want to improve their skills, not necessarily those people already in the industry.

Thank you for your comment. My two girls were more vocal for some reason than on other days when I film projects. Good luck with your project and keep a nice supply of heavy dusty needs handy, you might be lucky and not need them.

Thank you for the comment. I'm sorry you felt it was too long. Proselytizing? Hmm, I didn't think I was converting someone from one religious belief to another, only showing them how to mend a hole in their seat cushion, so it wouldn't become a problem later. Having brought this to my attention I shall be more careful in future

Thank you for your comment. I tried to think of all the questions that I have been asked over the years from my students. Good luck with your project

Oh dear, those puppies. I suggest taking the fabric from an area that is not visible and using that to patch the shredded areas, then replacing the harvested fabric with something that will match the best you can. As for the stitching over-sew the stitching in the same/similar colour, continue over the patched area, and then over-sew the stitches on the other side of the repair. The over-sewing should be about 2cm/1 inch of the shredded top stitching to hold it in place and stop it from unraveling even more. I hope this all makes sense. I do have several other mending videos that might show you similar methods of mending your cushions but may explain the process differently

Thank you for the question. I purchase the foam I use from The Foam Store, which I believe is a franchise, there should be locations throughout the US. As to the foam. In the video, I used super-soft on either side of a piece of extra-firm. Some places might refer to this as low-density and firm-density and in others there might be numbers to denote the firmness of the foams. I know that a couple of ladies have also purchased their foam online and had it sent to them. Good luck with your search.

Je vous remercie de la question. Le dacron a une épaisseur de 2 cm/1 pouce, car il donne à la couverture un aspect plus dodu. Bonne chance dans votre projet

Thank you for the question. I have a few videos on making shaped cushion covers. Although this is for a T-shaped cushion with a little added shaping, the principle is the same. The main thing is to keep the gusset in line with certain points so it doesn't twist. ruclips.net/video/AIAhaIcaM28/видео.html Good luck with your project.

Thank you for the question. The cost of materials will depend on the sizes of the cushions that you require, and then you have to add someone's fees on top. I have another video on putting seat cushions together, which you might find interesting. ruclips.net/video/VRm_dQL7BnU/видео.html I suggest searching for a place like The Foam Store in your area or online and pricing the foam out and they will probably have Dacron there too. The foams provided will be a better quality and have a wider variety than at a craft store. Good luck with your project

Thank you for the question. I have used Coats & Clark, All Purpose Threads for all my projects over the past 30 years. So far no-one has complained about their items falling apart. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for your comment.

Products are made to force consumerism in the US. All media reinforces this ridiculous and wasteful social value. High quality is mostly available to the wealthy.

Thank you for your question. I agree that working with Stockinette is a bind. I make the liner out of calico or curtain lining as a general rule but have been going through leftover fabrics these past years and used that as well, it's better than putting it in the landfill. I make the insert about 2cm/1 inch larger so as not to pull the cushion in too much as you really need the resistance on the outer layer of cloth. ruclips.net/video/cutbNnpgjJc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/lXqdVWN52zY/видео.html Both of these videos cover the lining covers that went with the cushions. Good luck with your project. I'm returning to the Portsmouth area next year

@@beinspired1487 thank you so much for your advice and video references. Good luck with your return to UK next year. Welcome back!

Thank you for the question. I use either 3M Multipurpose or 3M Hi-Strength Contact Adhesives for my projects as they seem to work the best. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for your comment. I want people to try these projects and not be flustered before they start.

Thank you for your comment. This was an easy fix and I think my friend will be pleased with the result

Thank you for your comment, good luck with your project

Thank you for the question. I have not had any comments regarding the crushed velvet stretching, as long as you are using the upholstery/interior decorating fabric you should be fine. The lighter dress-weight fabrics wouldn't hold up as well. Good luck with your project, I am sure it will look fantastic when it is done.

Thank you for your comment, good luck with your project.

@@beinspired1487 Welcome to America. There are EXCELLENT upholstery services that only offer high quality in our Country. Maybe you did find them yet.

Thank you for the comment. I think I could write a book about the ups and downs of this job. It is often trial and error to get it right for some people.

Thank you for the advice. I will look into what SEO is and go from there.

@@beinspired1487 If you want, can we discuss about it?

Thank you for your comment. I am glad this method of using foams will help fort out your uncomfortable couch, it is a shame to junk something that still has good bones which will last for many more years to come. From Houston, Texas.

Thank you for your comment.

Thank you for your question. I would suggest one you like. I have people who put anything on from velvet, and chenille through to light weights like chintz cotton and silk. Upholstery fabric often has a number of rubs it can take, as in someone sitting on a chair. Most people, make the choice of fabric depending on their needs as in children making a mess through to a more formal setting. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for your question. I use upholstery thread which you can find in the Coats and Clark election of threads wherever they are sold. If I need to use something else, then it is just a normal thread that I double up. Good luck with your project.

Thank you for the question. I personally do not know if they can be taken apart. I think there is usually a rod pushed through and then cut back in such a way they do not come off, as a screw would eventually undone. I have in the past spent a while cutting out the fabric scraps, cotton threads, and pet hair that has been caught in our office chair wheels. I'm sorry not to have been more helpful, but there might be some nice person on RUclips who has already worked this problem out. We can not be the only two people who have problems with these wheels and things caught in them.

Thank you for your comment. I am sorry that you find the information a little too fast. We all learn at different speeds. I try to put all the information in at a working pace, as I am doing the project and I don't want to bore everyone with all the "Umms", "Ahhs ", or blank spaces in the recording. When I eventually get another project like this I will record it and hopefully make a better attempt than this one. Good luck with your project and I am sure there are other much better explanations on RUclips

Thank you for your question. I did actually find two that had slipped down into the chair. My friend had told me that her husband had used lumbar pillows and that she hadn't been able to find them so she could show me how far out she wanted the inside back to be. She wanted something a little more permanent than a lumbar pillow.

@@beinspired1487 I spelled "lumbar" wrong. I was impressed by that procedure of yours. You're very skilled. I am using a lumbar pillow now and I wish I had something better--like a new recliner.

@@dr797-w2b Not a problem, auto-correct often gets me into trouble as it sends out nothing like I was saying and the other person gets confused. The reason for her not getting a new recliner was this had been her husband's favourite chair and he had passed about a month after being diagnosed with brain cancer.

@@beinspired1487 Sorry to hear about your friend's loss. Thanks for the video.

Thank you. This style shouldn't blow away in a gust of wind as it is shaped. My friend is delighted with hers.

I'm sorry I can not tell you the answer. I only got a Persil advert at 11.54 which could be skipped, I guess it is the luck of the draw. I do not choose the adverts or the duration. I personally dislike it when I get two adverts together that I can not skip followed by another one a little later it does distract from the viewing of the subject matter.

Susan, leaving here is going to be so very hard, as I have made some wonderful friends over the years. We will have to video chat and email as I will with others. This year will be full of "Last times" doing this or going places as my departure comes closer and I make positive plans to move back to the UK. I can not allow doubt to take over. I have learnt to be my primary cheerleader especially when I am going through second thoughts, so they do not take over and prevent me from seeing what could be.

Danke

Thank you. It was a vintage fabric that my daughter really liked when she found it in my fabric store many years ago.
