How do I reupholster a chair
Hi,
I happen to come across this page. I imagine that the project is long finished, but other people might benefit. I am a professional upholsterer since 1966. I have put together website containing hundreds of pages to answer many questions about upholstery. One of the pages of the website gives information on how to recover a sofa. You can find that website here: http://upholsteryresource.com/reupholster_a_sofa You can also look at the child pages of this page to find more information.
Best Wishes,
Stephen Winters
