Upholstery Instructions on the NetLooking for some upholstery instructions on the net? That might be hard to find but doing upholstery is easier than you think. With a few of the basics like installing webbing, pli-grip , tacking strips, how to do round seats etc , and learning to do each one of these will will make the job that much easier. There are all kinds of "how to" books on the market today but some of them are confusing to understand even for me after 25 years in the business. Even some of the videos I have seen are hard to understand but I found these beginner and advanced DVDs to be the best on the market. It is one of the easiest to understand. 
I hope in the near future to be putting out some e-zines or e-books and taking small parts of the trade and explain each in detail. Also some of the tricks of the trade that I have picked up over the years such as, how to make the skirting including the backing with 2 simple math calculations, why put tape on pli-grip, making double welt cord with a single cord, etc.
Anyone can do upholstery if you have patience. Sometimes the only difference between a good upholsterer and a hobbyist is speed. What I mean by this is someone who does it for a living can do that chair in one day where as the one who does it as a hobby might take two or three weekends. But the final results are the same.
