And yes Chairy Godmother, Laurens did tell us about the "sharks' teeth edging" which is what Blanche used but it would not have been suitable for my lighter weight hemp/organic cotton.

I entirely agree with you that the whole upholstery thing (from what little knowledge I have garnered) is extremely involved and I too have a newfound appreciation for the prices charged.

I think your teacher must have been really good, and well organised to get you all to finish (and nearly finish!!) such a range of projects in that short time.<br />One comment re. all that hand slip-stitching you have to do on your chair back, and for future reference: did he mention 'sharks teeth edging'? It's what most of us would use on the sides, with just the slipstitching for the top. MUCH quicker and easier, but takes a bit to learn how to do.<br />Good on you, and can't wait to see the Reveal.The Chairy Godmotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905650561825086634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877236014410090985.post-89408581860875339132011-07-10T09:57:29.905+10:002011-07-10T09:57:29.905+10:00It feels so good to do a deeply satisfying w/s; on...It feels so good to do a deeply satisfying w/s; one where you learn great skills and have a(nearly) finished product to show at the end as well.Ready to tackle a 3 seater chesterfield yet??<br />Bye<br />AAJMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00549494034882531835noreply@blogger.com
