Me encanta,q perfección!!!a mi me gusta mucho tapizar pero,yo soy aficionada,me gustaría mucho saber cómo usted.Muchas gracias seguiré viendo sus vídeos para poder aprender.
I just wanted to say that your videos have been invaluable in me learning how to upholster my very own wing chair! Thank you! Also, any tips on doing the padding on the front of the arms separately would be helpful.
The staple gun used on this wing chair is an air powered one by Empire/ Rainco #7. In other videos I have also used an electric gun by Duo-Fast. Glad you are enjoying them.

The thread I use is specif for hand stitching, I do not know what size it is because it is not stated on the package, it is heaver than #69 sewing machine thread though. It is a nylon, wish I could find a natural thread. You can in a pinch double up on the # 69 machine thread.
+Realtor El Paso It may not have been included because it was a repeated technique shown in past videos. If I remember correctly it was sewn to the inside wing using a sewing machine before the inside wing was attached to the chair. If you do not have a sewing machine you could hand sew the cord to the inside arm before applying the inside wing and them blind stitch the inside wing to the cording.
Metal strips have their place, but in my opinion not on high quality furniture or custom upholstery and especially not on an antique restoration. Metal strips also known as Tack Strips are best used in high production where speed is more important than quality. Metal strips work best in soft woods and their prongs tend to bend in good hardwood, they have a tendency to come loose and pose a cut threat to people and pets. In some cases folding the cover fabric around the metal strips and hammering them in place can cut some fabrics.
mjamsdenfurniture i am actually upholstering an old wing chair and had curving metal strips. personally i prefer it from the stitches showing even a tiny bit. everyone has his own choices. also i find horse hair disgusting (don.t know which part of the horse it comes from) and too flat 😕
All chapters for the wing back were the best I’ve seen. This has been a great help for me, thank you so much.
You Sir are a true master! Thank you for the series, it was truly insightful and fantastic.
Thank you AmaLeneZone: I am glad you enjoyed the series.

Sorry if you have detailed this in a previous video - what is the name of the electric tack gun you use? Very much enjoying your tutorials! Thank you
what kind and size thread do you use to do the blind stiching? you do outstanding work....

Sir I didn't see when you put the piping on the inside of the wing. Where is that?

thank you sir! I just blind stitched the two wing pieces together as they were already attached.
why tacking when there are metal strips??
