Upholstery Tips
When purchasing fabric, keep in mind that many drapery fabrics are suitable for upholstering and are used as much or more than regular upholstery fabric.
Any fabric other than a solid will usually require
some matching; this includes florals, stripes, plaids and most geometrics.
When purchasing these types of fabrics, remember that the larger
the pattern repeat, the more additional fabric that will be required
to allow for matching. If the pattern repeat is 3 inches or less,
additional fabric is not usually required.
The dust catcher is
the portion on the very bottom of the chair or sofa. Measure just
as for the decking and purchase either a cambric or a medium-weight
unbleached muslin.
Don't forget to purchase foam, batting, jute webbing, cording, tacks, gimp, thread and any other supplies you may need for your project.
