Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a great book for beginners as well as advanced upholsterers. I found interesting that it is very extensive on traditional techniques and it is also very explicative of each one of them. It has very good explanaitions as well as coloured pics and drawings. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is superficial on covering modern techniques, the ones required for a professional business. I'm an upholstery student at a community college, and it has been a great reference for me. But I had to learn the time saving tricks with my teachers. This is a great reference if bought with the Complete Course, written by the same author.

Following his book "Upholstery: A Complete Course", David James has produced this book on practical upholstery. It features 30 projects covering 300 years of upholstery, including an early 17th century folding stool, a four fold screen, a Georgian wing armchair, a William IV day bed, an art nouveau drawing room chair and a modern two-and-a-half seater settee. There is also a fascinating glimpse of eight upholsterers at work who comment on their very different approaches to their craft. All aspects of the craft covered: frame making, filling, knots and stitches, borders and facings, cushion making, fabrics and trimmings.
