Essential Tools for Upholstery

I didn’t pause but spit my water everywhere 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂GREAT VIDEO 🙌🙌🙌

Hello! Looks like your stapler is a Porter Cable brand however you recommend a Meite. Which are you using? Thank you.

Where do you get your tools?

You're my favourite person to watch presently.

You’re adorable 😊

Hi so which stapler is best for stapling swags to a board ?

Please show us everything there is to now would be really helpful

Your videos are awesome. You make it look so fun. ! I'd love to know if you have a step-by-step set of videos for a novice (like me) to learn to upholster.

Can you reuse decorative nails heads when reupholstering? What is the process of removing them to preserve for reuse?

Very good information video keep up the good work

Very helpful information! Thank you. I am struggling a bit with a round leather covered ottoman. It has a groove cut in the wood that provided a channel to staple the leather and then the leather piping. Do you have any content that could demonstrate that technique? Thanks again for sharing your expertise.

Dear Aimee, your videos are AMAZING and incredibly inspiring! Thank you for the heart and expertise you share in them! I am trying to wrap my head around making my own sofa cushions from scratch. I saw your videos on tools, workshop setup and fabrics, but would be interested in the staple materials you use, like which piping tape you recommend and what foam and batting you use for which projects. I would also love a step by step video on how to make nice looking, comfortable sofa cushions, including the foam and batting. THANK YOU!!!

Lol😂! Husband come and goes but these last for a lifetime !!!!😂❤

How to get staple gun I'm from Nigeria

How much is staple gun and compressor from Nigeria

Hi! I love your videos! Your work is beautiful. What staple size do you use?

The stapler, what brand? Looks like a Porter Cable and how about the staples? 1/4 inch crown or 1/2 inch? Just a thought. Good video, thanks.

Thanks !!

Did I understand you to say you teach upholstery classes? Where are you located?

Interested pls make video about supplies for upholstery

what size staples do you use????

Thank you so very much for taking the time to share all of your knowledge!! I've just stumbled across your videos whilst doing some research for pneumatic staple guns after experiencing all those things you didnt want to imagine🤦‍♀️

I was wondering what type/size of staples your staple gun uses and if you have just the one for all jobs?

I'm excited to watch the rest of your videos. Thanks again.

Love your fabric choices can you share sources of fabrics and sample books.

Button maker i for pleeeeesssseee. I’ve been sitting (actually not sitting) on my first upholstery project because i can’t make the darned covered buttons needed!

Would love to see more essential tools. Great video.

Amy, your an amazing sewer. Great to watch.

Thanks for the informative video. What about sourcing all the various materials for upholstery work (preferably wholesale siurces). Where do u get your materials?

Thanks Aimee!! Question. I have done some minor upholstery jobs for myself and now face a dilemma. My favorite chair really needs to be re-upholstered but it is a fairly daunting task, or so I assume. I am 6' 2" and have broken my back in 5 places (Long ago) and this is the only chair I don't hurt when I sit in it. I can even sleep in it when things get really painful. The problem is, it is a barrel back chair with fluted upholstery. How difficult is this to do? I have built two foot stools and upholstered them, but they were pretty easy. Just looking for advice as to weather I should try or just call a professional. Thanks!!!!!

So glad I found you and your videos.

Thx Amy , I’m getting started with this and have been reading and studying about leather upholstery.

Good job, here watching from Uganda. East Africa

Excellent thanks! What about a rubber mallet?

I went to the future, came and like to tell you the good news. You still look the same. Lol. BTw, I just got a ryobi t50 staple gun, but i cannot find a power tool to shoot thin wire staples that is half inch long. I finished the repair, but just curious if there was a thin wire staple gun that can shoot through 1/8th inch thick plastic.

Hi Aimee, love your videos they are really informative and inspiring.
I was wondering if you could tell me what width staples do you use 3/8 or 1/2”. I’m looking to buy a Meite stapler, I think it’s the same one you’re using in this video.
Thanks Aimee

Love your videos

The more information I can get the better can a person use just a regular stapler

I was about to try reupholstering an office chair, it has staples put into hard plastic, does this sound like I would need air compressor stapler?, I did wonder if the existing staples could be removed and put back in the old holes or is that wishful thinking?

Esencial video for tools and supplies fabric all of it. Just found your channel.TIA 😊

Is a filter necessary for a compressor?

The extra tool. Yes please.

haha the scissors you reminded me of mum she was a tailor (never touch her scissors ) husbands come and go scissors stay forever ,, hahaha your to much regards Bill

I meant shears

Very informative. Something I noticed on a chair upholstering segment was a pointed end saw used to cut foam. Is this a necessity or will something else work as well for a beginner? Thank you.

Hey, just watched your video. I’m fairly new to this but I’ve taken on restoring and antique French bed. Lots of upholstery tacks! What is the regulator for???

Love that you did a video on your favorite tools!! While I am not a professional like you, I enjoy doing projects for myself and family. I need that pneumatic stapler!! Game changer!! I don’t do anything for public either, but do want to get into doing some pieces to sell. Thanks for sharing your tools!

Amy, when stapling cushion covers, in preparation to sewing them, where are you stapling? In the seam allowance or beyond. Thanks.
