 A thorough education in upholstery. April 18, 2008
I picked up this book and upholstered my sofa. True to the title, this really is a complete course. I am a Prop Professional and have done both quick & dirty, and "real" upholstery. Any problem I've come up against or question I've had, this book addresses. It also has a lot of great information about setting up workspace. If you want to learn upholstery or learn it better, this is what you need.
Great reference on traditional techniques June 23, 2006
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Like the other book from the same author, this one is a great reference for traditional techniques. It provides a clear insight on how to do very high quality upholstery. It may not be the reference you need on practical and modern techniques required in today's workshops to compete. It is a great reference anyway.
 An interesting and informative survey of the art of upholste September 18, 1998
180 out of 183 found this review helpful
If you're looking for a step-by-step guide or a source-book, look elsewhere. This book is a general introduction to the history of upholstery, with general descriptions of traditional and modern upholstery techniques, of more value to those considering upholstering as a vocation or to the serious hobbyist than to the casual do-it-yourselfer.
