Your video is the most helpful one on youtube. you go into so much detail on each step. I am learning how to re-upholster a wing-back chair and I always go back to your videos and watch them again whenever I encounter problems. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you. Tufting is an advanced process, but one others have expressed interest in, if I get the opportunity it is something I would definitely consider.
Thank you for the detailed tutorial :) I am doing my first 'fixed' wing wingback - I have always removed the wings and re-attached but my current chair is similar to this. Thank you :)
Where do you teach use to sew in the piping on the inside of the arm. I only see it skipped to where you have to trim the outer piece so it doesn't lump?
+Realtor El Paso All welt cords are applied using the same technique regardless of where they are located, either by sewing, or by stapling. When applying directly over the frame, like most outside pieces the cording is stapled using cardboard tack strip. Cording is sewn on where no framing is available to tack to. Hope this helps.
Any secrets to the blind stitching? You stitch faster than most can put on ply-grip. I'm learning upholstery on my own but I would prefer not to start using the ply-grip. I will never to it professionally so the speed isn't an issue, I just want to do it right but I'm struggling with a good blind-stitch. You make it look so easy I'm embarrassed to ask for help. I noticed you hold the thread up as you make a stitch.
Rick: I think the number 1 best tip I could give on blind stitching is to keep the stitches square to each other. What I mean by that is where the thread exits one side of the stitch and enters the opposite side should line up exactly. If you are off the thread will have to enter the opposite side on an angle, causing the seam to be more visible. Different fabrics will hide the stitching better than others and some, like leather, or vinyl can be a real bear! A steamer really helps to smooth out the stitching on most all blind stitched seams. Keep at it, eventually you will get it down, it is a great skill to have when it come to making minor repairs as well.

Your amazing!! I would love to see a video on adding tufts. The green chair in the background is speaking to me. :-)

How much do you charge to do a single wingback chair?
It all depends on the chair, to many variables to just say off the top of my head. I usually have people email me a few pictures for an estimate.
