Fabric is fun, But yardages aren't.

Let me just start by saying that "Railroaded fabric is your friend." That is the way the fabric will be placed on your piece. If the pattern is regular or "up the roll" then you or your upholsterer will have to turn the fabric, to make the pattern face right way up. this causes more waste, and you will have to buy more yardage.  Read more >

There. I did it. I put my daughter’s name on the internet. Wait a second while I look to see if the sky has fallen…Nope. Still here.  Okay, so her name is not Puddin Pie, although that is her pet name. Her name is Georgia. And my sweet, loving, compassionate for all things great and small daughter is fat. Yeah, yeah, I know I am not supposed to say that. And I don’t. It just about killed me to type it. But you know what? She knows it. I know it, and everyone around her at school, all our family and strangers even know it.  Read more >

Looking for a good upholsterer is like shopping for insurance. You want the cheapest price obviously. But you want a quality product and a company that will stand behind it. But the cheapest upholsterer is not always going to fall into the latter categories. So, you pay a little more to get the service and quality you deserve.  But beware of LARGE upholstery shops.  They have more bills to pay and therefore the cost of the work is higher.  Get estimates first.  Read more >
