I am an upholsterer and also teach it in my shop as an adult ed class. When doing it for the local Junior college, they required 12 in the class. It drives both teacher and students nuts because each project requires personal attention. I do it in my shop with a max of 4 and if they want to bring a helper, they come free. If you would send me some pictures of your couch, I might be able to tell if the fabric goes under the wood or has trim to cover the edge. Perhaps the wood is screwed or bolted down before the outside bottoms are secured under the couch
