Product Description
The most comprehensive, user-friendly upholstery book on the market just got better! Over its lifetime, SINGER Upholstery Basics has sold nearly 150,000 copies. Now, with five new projects and an entirely fresh presentation, SINGER Upholstery Basics Plus is truly the best book for beginners and seasoned upholstery buffs alike. All the basic upholstery techniques are taught. Projects include all styles of chairs or couches, stools, different styles of ottomans, a bench, and a headboard. Some projects are built-from-scratch items that require only simple carpentry skills for building the frames. Others show the complete process of stripping, repairing, and reupholstering old furniture pieces to like-new condition. Large color photos of the step-by-step instructions set this book apart from all the others. - 300+ photos show the techniques in great detail, plus 5 new projects
- Projects are practical and most representative of the types of furniture pieces usually reupholstered or constructed from scratch
- Hidden wire-o binding keeps the book open flat while you work

Buy this book and learn how to upholster most furniture. January 21, 2010

As a master furniture upholsterer and upholstery teacher, this book is the best book I have found on basic upholstery. The book is good enough that I use it as an out line for my upholstery classes. My students are very happy with the information and layout of the book and find it very helpful. If you want to learn the basics of furniture upholstery, this is it. It is the same as Singer Upholstery Basics but with some extras that are helpful. Buy it, follow it, and you have made a good start in upholstery.
Book takes you from uncovering your project to fabric layout, to tools to padding. A very very good book.

The book is beautiful; I can't wait to tackle those chairs. Instructions are clear; the tools are thoroughly explained for a novice; the pictures make me believe they'll be calling me soon from the do-it-yourself TV shows. So many upholstery how-to's seem musty to me, very over-my-head and I didn't know they made couches that way since Grandma died. The Singer book chooses current styles and materials. I have three projects already.

I was a bit apprehensive about taking on my first upholstery project. This book removed many of my fears and doubts about being able to start or being able to complete any project. Its clear and concise pictures and diagrams make this a must have for any would be upholstery. I highly recommend this book.
