Book Reviews of Singer Upholstery Basics Plus: Complete Step-by-Step Photo Guide
Book Review: I am going to reupholster the crap out of my furniture
Summary: 5 Stars
I have several giant re-upholstery projects planned. My eyes are probably bigger than my stomach here, but I'm going to give it a shot. I'm going to slowly purchase the recommended tools. There's a great tool list at the beginning of the book and I'm keeping it in my truck so that I have it on me when I run to the home improvement store to get the items one at a time.
The book goes over the tools, materials used in upholstery, and the basics of how to accomplish it. It goes over how to do reupholstering of antiques (using natural fibers, etc.), and how to make minor repairs to the frame. It's fairly comprehensive. I wouldn't say that you could go into business after reading the book, but the average person should be able to reupholster a basic chair with the help of this book. I imagine the more that you do it the better you'll get so that you'll be able to tackle larger projects and furniture over time.

Over its lifetime, SINGER Upholstery Basics has sold nearly 150,000 copies. Now, with five new projects and an entirely fresh presentation, SINGER Upholstery Basics Plus is truly the best book for beginners and seasoned upholstery buffs alike. All the basic upholstery techniques are taught. Projects include all styles of chairs or couches, stools, different styles of ottomans, a bench, and a headboard. Some projects are built-from-scratch items that require only simple carpentry skills for building the frames. Others show the complete process of stripping, repairing, and reupholstering old furniture pieces to like-new condition. Large color photos of the step-by-step instructions set this book apart from all the others.
