Hi, This is a fabulous video, exactly what I was searching for! My question is: Is it secure enough to do this on an inside back and arms? I have a hand carved antique tub chair, and I really dislike trim and double welt, so I would like to do single piping and stitching instead. Will it hold well? Thank you for your time!
Thank you! I am about to start reupholstering my dining chairs, my first upholstery project. The chairs had those metal tack strips on the sides of the back but I think I would like to use this technique instead. It seems to be more artful. Also, the fabric I chose is cotton which has 30,000 double rubs but is not very thick, and I don't want the metal tack strips to be obvious.
Oh how I have been complicating this! You actually sew into the welt cord! Ha I’ve been going brhind it and back down - yes it’s been a nightmare and even more time consuming! 🤦🏻♀️and! I’m doing this in a class! One teacher to several students poor guy! I’m trying to be independent ! Haha thanks for setting me straight! When I get there Monday I’m going to be redoing some parts!
I am so scared to start the hand stitching part of this chair I'm doing. I thought I had the right thread, then watched this video (again) and paid attention to the thread you were using. I have finally found some genuine hand stitching nylon thread and am going to order a spool. I've been in here practicing with a curved needle and obviously have some kind of handicap using it (i.e. I really suck at this). Thanks so much for your videos. You are so RELAXED. I am so NOT. I am doing the entire back because the fabric is just too light to stick metal daggers through it.
Why not use the metal wire made to catch your material..forgot the correct name of product..but seem to be less time and work..I realize your video is hand stitching…but that’s so hard on your hands and fingers and a slow process…then you said the magic word…Thread is an in-expensive.
Thank you lovely lady, at last a clear demonstration of blind stitching, great to see the needle and not an elbow, now I'd be confident of doing this.
Thanks Cynthia. This is an excellent video, very clear and very useful. I have used it on several chairs with great success. Cheers.
Thank you for this clear demonstration, I was able to finish the job neatly :)
Thank you!
Wow thank you I've learned something interesting

I’m having trouble finding a video showing blind stitching for the front of the arm on a wingback. Any chance you’ll be doing one?
