I have watched many upholstery tutorials, but yours is by far the most clear and sequential. thank you for these clear instructions and video, they’ve helped me a lot on my couch reupholstery project!
I have ya beat by over ten years and I am still learning. I love showing my grandchildren so they have knowledge of simple but elegant tasks. In today's generation, they just call the repair guy.
How stupendous?! This must be the most comprehensive video available on how to strip and reupholster an armchair. Thanks to this, and your other superlative "how-to" videos, I now have the confidence to tackle my many reupholstery projects. I have added this to a playlist and this is the second time that I have watched it from start to finish. Btw, I am all the way across the pond in England, studying fine woodworking part time and teaching myself upholstery techniques so that I can start my own business designing and making bespoke furniture, and these films are playing a very big role in my education. Thank you Sailrite!
I can't, and wouldn't have believed that it was the same chair. Only the fact I watched both videos. You may very well have prolonged the life of many a pieces of furniture.
This lady is great!!! I'm doing my first arm chair. Couldn't do it without this video. The one for the cushions was a life saver too. Thanks so much. I'm a widow and I have DIY to save money.
My chair is finished, beautiful, and I saved about $1000 doing it myself. Now for the matching ottamon. I'm 70 yrs old and this is my first time ever reupholstering. Love that Cindy.
What I love about this video is their generosity of sharing and teaching us how to do this. I do not mind the 1hr or so ling video because it gives me the detail important info I need to know compared to all of the other reupholstery videos.. Thank you...
OMG - no more fear!! This is such a great instructional video. I am an accomplished home sewer; now no longer hesitant to reupholster a vintage family chair!! Thank you Sailrite!!
I used your video to reupholster my patio furniture, including learning how to use boxing and welting and it turned out perfect. Looks professional. So now I’m going to tackle an armchair. I totally trust your instructions. 😄
One needs lots of patience.....I am impressed with your planning and organizing.....thinking of every little detail.....it takes a great deal of effort. Good on YOU!!!! Excellent and instructing video! Thanks!!!
Hi to all of you nice folks at Sailrite! I am appreciative for this video. Your other videos have also taught and inspired me. I learn a lot from your videos and I am happy to come upon them. I have subscribed. The main thing that I am thanking you for on this particular video is your demonstrating how "reupholstered" does not equate to "all new stuffing" (Wadding, fill, whatever we all call it). Thank you and again, thank you.
Thank you for that. I have a family member who is allergic to dust mites. Our Doctor recommends replacing all fabric/cushions/mattresses, carpeting every 5 years. You are a professional outfit. I learn more by silently watching than asking questions. I am glad to watch your videos.
Cindy is the best! I have reupholstered my first piece of furniture using this video. The narrator and Cindy's comments are extremely helpful. I highly recommend this video!
I will definitely be doing this! One thing I might add is to take plenty of PICTURES to help remind you how things looked and how they connected, because it will take me weeks due to other commitments... many can't do the entire job in one go
Cindi made the process look so easy. Of course, it took many years of practice and training, I'm sure. Thanks for the step by step video and clear HD quality. Makes a nice to watch video. Now, to try it myself !!!
Hello and hi there ! Sending Greetings from Washington State U.S.A. Hi ! Been watching the show , guessing this gal has quite a many years behind her , very professional work . Always wanted to try my hand at Rehaporstering furniture .Professional work = fabulous results .
Thanks to this video I have started my very first project. I am reupholstering my sofa and armchair. I'm halfway through the armchair and I have found it to be far far easier than I ever imagined. Thank you Cindy and Sailrite, you have saved me a fortune. ❤️
This tutorial is great! Excellent step by step, easy to follow even for a first timer. Not one procedure on the tutorial that I found complicated. Thanks Sailrite. I have now two beautifully reupholstered armchairs.
Your video rocks. I'm near tears just on how thankful I am to have found you. Your instruction is the closest to actually hands on that I have seen. Blessings to you all for what you have given. My intimidation is gone....thank you time 10....so worth the time....
FABULOUS VIDEO!!! I live in the L.A. area and am able to purchase needed materials to reupholster a chair. BUT because this video is so good and you are so generous with it I am getting my list together and ordering it from you! Thank you for this video!!
Wow, Thanks!!! That is why we do free videos like this, for loyal customers who will support our efforts. Let us know if you have any questions along the way. Thanks again!!!
I may be a bit late to this party, but this video is amazing. Such an easy voice to listen to, and such easy to follow instrucitons. I have a wooden framed couch that I would love to reupholster, so this is such good training for me.
This video was amazing!!! I had never upholstered anything before but his video shows how to do each step so clearly I was able to reupholster an old chair and it's now a star piece of furniture in our home. Thank you so much ❤
Excellent video! Cindy has done a great job at explaining the process thoroughly. I like that she shared details to consider such as the placement of the main flower on the sides of the chair. Thank You so much!
This was really helpful and the lady did an excellent job explaining all the steps. Not to mention her work came out beautifully. I also appreciated that she was very detail oriented, like myself. Thank you for sharing!
great video! I have searched all the internet for a good video that shows doing the deck. I have done several chairs but always wanted a tutorial on the deck. I seem to have a difficult time with that area. I will rewatch this on next when I do my next chair. I do think you need a regulator. This little tool makes tucking so much more easy and fun!
This is the most thorough tutorial I've ever seen. I purchased upholstery fabric awhile ago; but, have been afraid to take the plunge. I am no longer afraid to rip the fabric off of my sofa. I feel like an expert!
+sarah wheat AGREED! I love the list of completed steps! Most times you can "guess" but thorough is the same word I was thinking! I just adore how patient she is! :))
I have a very similar chair, very solid and with loose covers that are way past their best in fact awful, I shan’t need to do all this but it was useful to know just in case I do need to recover the whole thing, but shall be watching eagerly for the seat cushion and back cover video, and I think I now understand the principle of how the shapes go together to unpick the original and sew a new one. Now for a lovely fabric. Thank you so much.
Before throwing out an armchair that my cat ruined, I'm considering re-upholstering. This is the best RUclips video I've found on the subject. It's making me appreciate the cost of having someone else do it! ;-) (I still haven't decided if I'm going to DIY my armchair.)
Thanks for the encouragement. It took me THREE DAYS to remove all the old upholstery and stuffing and my fingers and thumbs were bruised from all the staple-pulling (yes, I used tools). The "naked" chair remains out on the deck; I still haven't decided if I'm going to go "all the way" and finish it. The good news is that the cat urine did not get to the wood base of the chair.
Learned so much I'm glad that everything was done to the whole chair every detail even the cut areas that I always have a problem with. How to match patterns everything
Thank you for posting this video. You saved me a lot of time because I actually thought I could do this myself. After seeing this video, I will just buy a new couch.
I absolutely LOVE this video along with the one about how to make an armchair cushion. I used them to reupholster two club chairs and they turned out beautifully. I was so scared when I first started and my husband did not think I could do it, but Cindy's instructions were so easy to follow that I really did it and then sat back and thought WOW! It really turned out good!. I really felt like Cindy was my best friend telling me how to do everything step by step. She is awesome. I wish I knew how to attach a picture so you could see how well they turned out! Thank you, thank you Cindy.
+Jane Sharish I am glad you liked the video. It is so good to hear that your reupholster club chairs came out so well with the help of Cindi and our videos. Good job!!!! If you like you can post photos of your finished chairs to our Facebook page: facebook.com/sailrite Thanks for your positive comments.
The details in this video was excellent. You are a wonderful teacher. This video gave me the desire to reupholster some furniture in my home. Thanks again for the step by step details!!
I was so intimidated to try to reupholster until I found this video... I think I can do it now!!! Thank you so much!!! This is the best video ever... I love that you tell the tools you are using and where I can buy them. I can't wait to start my project. I would love to know how to approximate how much fabric to use. Thank you Thank you!!!
Great tutorial! Thorough and precise. I can now see myself giving it a try on the two armchairs in my living room. Cindy really know's her stuff. Thanks!
+Clarice Taylor Glad you liked the video. Cindi is a very good teacher! I hope your chairs come out great! Send us before and after photos when you are done.
Amazing tutorial! Thank you for giving me great confidence! I know that I am ready to take on this project! I have all the tools, just waiting for the fabric! Thank you Cindy and your narrator!
Thank you for being so detailed. I am learning to sew and I want to reupholster an old chair. Other videos I've watched don't give as much as this one does (pertaining to details). I have a brand new sewing machine given to me (my mother got a new one and gave me her barely used old one). I can't seem to fix the tension so once that is fixed I am going to reference this video. Thanks, again!
This is another fine video by Sailrite. Nobody does DIY sewing vids better than these guys. My wife and I learned how to upholster throw pillows with piping from an earlier video. We just might give this a try. Unfortunately, my wife won't let me buy a Sailrite sewing machine yet! Keep the great videos coming!
I want to say thank you so much for making this video! MY husband and I reupholster our old sleeper sofa yesterday. We watched the video before and during our project. I still have to work on the cushions and New pillow back..(starting to watch your next video) But already it looks amazing!
I can't thank you enough for this terrific video! I watched it several times and referred to it throughout my project. Cindy, you and your narrator are wonderful teachers!
Janet DiNatale Wow, that's awesome you did it!! I really want to but am intimidated by allllllll the many pieces. I think I'll get lost and won't be able to visualize it like she did to place the pattern so well.
One of the best tutorial videos I have ever seen. I'm saving this so when I redo my chair I can go down the list step by step with Cindy.....she is Wonderful!!!
Amazing video series! I purchased a class from Craftsy and this is much better then that! I was just looking at two chairs in my living room and planning to redo them, this was a life saver and as a result I will be purchasing materials from Sailrite now. Thank you very much for the detailed information!
That chair was a nice find, and you did a very lovely job. That fabric was perfect for it, and by eliminating the skirt you brought it up to date. It looks so fresh and contemporary now. I can never find anything that is both that new and clean and well constructed. I usually work on the old dinosaurs someone found in the back of the barn. The one I'm doing now had so many layers of old fabric and cotton batting with the final layer covering cotton and STRAW (yes, straw. not moss, not horsehair and not excelsior) that the seat cushion was only 18" wide. It was such a heavy beast, with all those layers there must have been 25 pounds of tacks alone. But it had good bones, and the frame is solid hardwood, glued and doweled and with the exception of all the tack holes in near perfect condition. When I'm done it will be back to the classic styled wing chair that it started out as. Slightly low slung, nice wide seat and a back that is ever so slightly angled so you don't have to sit ramrod straight.
I have watched lots of video's and this is by far the best for step by step instruction and clear camera shots. I did my sofa and now feel after watching this, that I could have done it better. I wish I had found your video first. It's inspired me to do more. Thank you.
Thankyou so much for this video so easy to follow,Cindy your voice is gentle and soothing,and you get on with the job in hand. Some voices are so annoying it makes one flit to another, I'm In England and a loud high pitched affected voice is so hard to listen too . 10 out of 10 for this knowledge I will be learning lots from you talented lady.maddie
I really enjoyed this video - very professionally done with great instructions. I do have a sewing background so everything made sense. I have a loveseat I'm considering reupholstering. No corners were cut in this process and I loved the minute detail of each part of the process. I'm sure the client was estatic with his or her new chair. Thanks for taking all the time and effort to make this excellent video. I feel I know fully what to do and even where to get supplies - from you!
Thank you for making this video. I am halfway through reupholstering a similar chair. I’m so glad I found this video before I started. I got all the supplies and tools I needed from watching this and felt confident starting the project!
I have watched many upholstery tutorials, but yours is by far the most clear and sequential. thank you for these clear instructions and video, they’ve helped me a lot on my couch reupholstery project!
Glad you liked it!!!!

I love watching Cindy. She’s so calm and confident in what she is doing.
This tutorial is fantastic. So clear and easy to follow. It’s also extremely relaxing, like unintentional ASMR.
Just viewed in 2024! WOW! Superior explanations!
Just finished my chair! Watched these videos over and over to get the techniques down! Love Sailrite!
That's awesome! Congratulations on finishing your chair! It's always satisfying to see the end result after putting in all that effort.
How stupendous?! This must be the most comprehensive video available on how to strip and reupholster an armchair.

this is my dream job. i would love to work here!! since i was little, ive loved doing stuff like this! im 47 now but it's never too late i say!
I’m 58 and just starting. It’s never too late. All the best,
This is without a doubt the clearest video I have seen on how to do this
What I love about this video is their generosity of sharing and teaching us how to do this. I do not mind the 1hr or so ling video because it gives me the detail important info I need to know compared to all of the other reupholstery videos.. Thank you...
+Stormy Gomez We appreciate your positive comments!!! Thanks.
Fantastic! Cyndi is working MAGIC! Making it look SO easy, but it’s far from just do it yourself. Well done!!
Thank you! I love Cindy and Sailrite! Keep it up. This is what they should be showing on HGTV or the DIY channel.
Thank you for this fabulous tutorial !!!
The lady is excellent at explaining, not too much talking and no music, thumbs up for that. 🙂
OMG - no more fear!! This is such a great instructional video. I am an accomplished home sewer; now no longer hesitant to reupholster a vintage family chair!! Thank you Sailrite!!
We are so glad that this video was helpful!
Just finished my third upholstery project and this video is my go-to. Thanks for sharing such an amazing instructional video!
I used your video to reupholster my patio furniture, including learning how to use boxing and welting and it turned out perfect. Looks professional. So now I’m going to tackle an armchair. I totally trust your instructions. 😄
The best upholstery video ever. I have looked high and low. Happy I landed here. Thank you so much for clear instructions and an awesome video.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm thrilled that you found my video helpful and enjoyed the clear instructions.
this woman is the best upholster i ever seen i do the same job that is why I know that this woman is a best ever. Awesome company and nice tutorial.
One needs lots of patience.....I am impressed with your planning and organizing.....thinking of every little detail.....it takes a great deal of effort. Good on YOU!!!! Excellent and instructing video! Thanks!!!

An amazing tutorial. I will try this summer to do my chair. Thank you from Canada.
This has helped me so much. I'm working on fitting the fabric to the arms right now Thank you for your great tutorial
Thank you for posting this video. You saved me a lot of time because I actually thought I could do this myself. After seeing this video, I will just buy a new couch.
Glad I could help
Are you still upholstering? Love your pattern. You give simple easy to understand directions. Thanks a million
You are so good at what you do you have taught me a few things that I did not know
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad that I could teach you something new. Keep watching for more valuable content!
You are definitely a pro! Love this video! What a beautiful piece
I am a curtain and blind maker and you have really inspired me to learn upholstery! Thank you so much!! I will come to you for my upholstery supplies!

Good job Janet! Do you happen to remember how many yards of fabric it took, if you had to guesstimate? 54" width I'm assuming.

This is a impecable work!! Congratulations!! Thank you to theach us!! 😍😍
These are wonderful videos and are my first stop for information when I need a refresher on any technique in upholstery. thanks
We are so glad that you like our videos. Let us know if you have any questions.
One of the best tutorial videos I have ever seen. I'm saving this so when I redo my chair I can go down the list step by step with Cindy.....she is Wonderful!!!

Awesome video tutorial it was interesting how a chair is reupholster enjoyed
Amazing video series! I purchased a class from Craftsy and this is much better then that! I was just looking at two chairs in my living room and planning to redo them, this was a life saver and as a result I will be purchasing materials from Sailrite now. Thank you very much for the detailed information!
This is very good news! Let us know if you have any questions when it comes time to make your project.
That chair was a nice find, and you did a very lovely job. That fabric was perfect for it, and by eliminating the skirt you brought it up to date. It looks so fresh and contemporary now. I can never find anything that is both that new and clean and well constructed. I usually work on the old dinosaurs someone found in the back of the barn. The one I'm doing now had so many layers of old fabric and cotton batting with the final layer covering cotton and STRAW (yes, straw. not moss, not horsehair and not excelsior) that the seat cushion was only 18" wide. It was such a heavy beast, with all those layers there must have been 25 pounds of tacks alone. But it had good bones, and the frame is solid hardwood, glued and doweled and with the exception of all the tack holes in near perfect condition. When I'm done it will be back to the classic styled wing chair that it started out as. Slightly low slung, nice wide seat and a back that is ever so slightly angled so you don't have to sit ramrod straight.
+futuradeej1 Sometimes the older chairs are constructed much better than the newer chairs, you are correct!
I have watched lots of video's and this is by far the best for step by step instruction and clear camera shots. I did my sofa and now feel after watching this, that I could have done it better. I wish I had found your video first. It's inspired me to do more. Thank you.
Thanks for the positive feed back.
Rogena Styles you are the best really explain everything very good congratulations

I can actually recover my chair step by step using this patient tutorial thank you.
You are welcome!
I really enjoyed watching your show very gifted god bless your hands
Excellent video. With all that fabric it's an expensive chair today.
What a fantastic tutorial. Great job! Thanks
Watched it all the way thru. Great job!
Thanks!!!
Thankyou so much for this video so easy to follow,Cindy your voice is gentle and soothing,and you get on with the job in hand. Some voices are so annoying it makes one flit to another, I'm In England and a loud high pitched affected voice is so hard to listen too . 10 out of 10 for this knowledge I will be learning lots from you talented lady.maddie
I enjoyed watching this video; thank you for clear instructions.
BEST video on upholstering I have seen. Very complete... thank you.
hola me encanto el video solo quisiera si pueden hacerlo con subtitulo
Great video!! Cindy is clear and explains everything perfectly.
I really enjoyed this video - very professionally done with great instructions. I do have a sewing background so everything made sense. I have a loveseat I'm considering reupholstering. No corners were cut in this process and I loved the minute detail of each part of the process. I'm sure the client was estatic with his or her new chair.
Thanks for taking all the time and effort to make this excellent video. I feel I know fully what to do and even where to get supplies - from you!
That is great news! I am so glad we could help with your upholstery application.
Thank you for making this video. I am halfway through reupholstering a similar chair. I’m so glad I found this video before I started. I got all the supplies and tools I needed from watching this and felt confident starting the project!
