So what is involved in getting an upholstery certificate? I’m just amazed at what you guys do.

Beautiful chair, the upholstery is beautiful.

The hardest part MsDebbieP has to be the cushion. I hate doing cushions. Cushions I find tough because you have so much material to work with in such a small area it gets frustrating working it on the sewing machine. Like anything though I take my time and relax when doing cushions and it all works out in the end.

Dennis for me to get my upholstery certificate I had to take a night class twice a week for four years. You learn how to upholster, reupholster, use a commercial sewing machine and many other tricks of the trade. The problem is, that upholstery is a dying trade. There are only four schools left in Canada that offer certification in upholstery.

only 4 – that will make you a “Master” then in no time at all.

Thanks Kevin. It sounds like top notch training. I’ve a good friend who in an upholsterer and getting training was his biggest challenge. He started working in a shop doing grunt work till he couldn’t stand it any more. Then just studied videos and books. It is an art.

I’m totally impressed. I also do upholstery but have no certificate. Unlike you though I don’t find the cushions hard. My hardest part is the arms. You did a great job.
