Customer Reviews

simply the best4
I have several books so far about upholstery, but by far, this singer book is the best. The title is not misleading. It is about basics, but with it's common sense instructions and useful illustrations, the techniques demonstrated can be combined and used to reupholster many styles of furniture. If you are looking for a book to teach you about more advanced techniques, you will have to look elsewhere, but if you are just beginning, then I can't think of a better source to take fear out of your first project.

Exactly what I was looking for!5
This is the most thorough book I have ever seen on the subject of upholstery. It shows everything from tying springs to replacing batting. Every step is illustrated with full color photos. (No line drawings!) I haven't used it yet, but it looks extremely easy to follow. I have several books from the Singer Sewing Reference Library. They're all great!

One of the best!5
As a 25 year journeyman upholsterer, I find this book to be the most easily understood and fundamental that I have found. I use it in my Adult Education upholstery class as the best text for any beginner to learn the basics.
