I have cane back dining chairs I have wanted upholstered as one the chairs was badly damaged in moving. What a great video. This is first one I've found in order to attempt upholstering, and came across it from watching another video. Chairs you upholstered are absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
I have 6 cane backed chairs in my flea market booth and I’m selling them as is at $7.95 each. They’ve been in my booth for 2 months; after watching this I think I’m going to pull them out and try and reupholster them myself 😳😁🤔and hopefully sell them for more. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾
That chair looks AMAZING!!!! FINISHED PRODUCT is EXQUISTE 11/10!!! The attention to detail even the back looks flawless, some ppl don't care about the back but i do. flip many incl. small furniture for my small business, mostly small, easy pieces (chairs, tables, stools etc) that I usually decoupage or strip, repaint with chalk paint - shabby chic/distressed that kind of thing and when I have to do something a bit more complex I try to find the BEST youtube vids. Well...I got a Queen Anne chair - never done one of those before as the reupholstering part scared me a bit knowing my skillset is limited. So I go on youtube and find a bunch of young ppl, reupholstering furniture, they got high volume views they got a large sub count but as I watch them I see a lot talking lots of talking of "short cuts" being taken or things that don't quite sit right with me - like overstapling on the edge and double stapling a flimsier (non upholstery) fabric edge that in a short space of time and wear/tear will eventually rip things like that. Sooooooo...I come across your GEM of a video and it was like I had been in a sinking ship and spotted a lighthouse - clicked on, saw a more wonderful, mature southern Gentleman who seems to know what he's doing, not much talking more action, no narcisstic talking about how great you are...just got on wiht the job. nLike I said I'm not an expert, I always do easy peasy "flippable" things but have always wanted to learn how to reupholster PROPERLY. I watched you from start to finish and I saw QUALITY, CONTROL/PRECISION, REAL TALENT, A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE AND EXPERTISE, REAL GENUINE HONED SKILLS AND...HUMILITY! Sorry for the long winded comment you might see this you might not but THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO IT IS A ONE IN A MILLION!!!!!!!!! SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!!!
Have 2 dining cane back captain chairs with huge holes in the cane , I am an experienced "Fancy" drapery sewer, stapled valances & chairs. but never done this kind of work , each chair cost $275.00 to get repaired sooooooo, I'm going to try, thxfor this informative video. your a Blessing to many 😍😇
We recently inherited a chair with a broken cane back and are not sure if we're brave enough to attempt some upholstery, but this was so interesting and enjoyable to watch--thank you for sharing your knowledge!
SO nice! I am one of the people who don't particularly care for her choice for the back but it is her choice so fair play. Kudos to you for the care you take.
Thank you, I really enjoyed watching this tutorial, I learned quite a lot and I think your client chose the perfect fabric for the style of the chair. These turned out beautiful.
Wonderrying this as a hobby, have done about 10 chairs now, they all kick my butt. Wish I could find a local person like you for hands on training. But this video is super helpful and very calming. I so love, love, love these chairs!
Beautiful job. It's always nice to see how you can change / transform a piece of furniture. I was sad to see the cane go but the end result was amazing.
Beautiful job. And I totally agree, I redid a chair and the space to staple was so small that I stapled through...and couldn't pull them out. I had to start over! Very frustrating!
My gosh, those chairs are beautiful! Just the design of their frame is so fantastic, and THEN, that fabric!! Wow! You are an excellent communicator and bring out tips that are really helpful. I want those chairs, lol!! Btw, is that a Waverly fabric? If not, could you please tell me what company makes it?
What kind of material did you use for the webbing? I have a few chairs with cane backs that I want to do this too. Thank you for your video. It was very educational!
Hi Mark. Did you remove the spline or did you just clear up to it? I love all of your videos! They give me the courage to try some smaller projects. Thank you!
Great video. I'm trying to do some similar chairs. Someone had removed the spline leaving a large groove. Stapling seems problematic. Should I replace the spline?
What a great video!! Thank you. One question...I can find burlap webbing but it is thick. Where do you find the thinner white chair back webbing you are using and what is it called? Thanks!
It’s called synthetic webbing or plastic webbing. I’m currently using the webbing I bought in quantity when a local upholstery supply store went out of business. I’ll be looking soon for another source, Thanks for watching

Upholstery is easy! It's canning which is difficult..I leave that to thd experts.

watching what other craftsmen do always fulfills my curiousity.
SO nice! I am one of the people who don't particularly care for her choice for the back but it is her choice so fair play. Kudos to you for the care you take.

Hi Mark. Did you remove the spline or did you just clear up to it? I love all of your videos! They give me the courage to try some smaller projects. Thank you!
Hi Rita, I left the spine. It provides filler for the staples. Thank you 😊

Do you have to have an industrial sewing machine or just the specific foot for an at home machine?
Consew 206rb-5
I have a rectangle back caned chair. Do you have a video for that?
If it is the same structure, rectangular or circular makes no difference.
Caning is just a finish.
But there was nothing wrong with the backing why did you have to remove it? Chairs are beautiful great job!
I think it was because one of the backs was damaged. Thanks
perfekt..wenn die Vögel nicht alle auf dem Kopf stünden
For the binding at the end, what is the foot called on the sewing machine that you used?
Double welt foot
How much would you charge for just doing the backs?
125.00
How do you replace the inset back if the chair is made of wrought iron?
Need pic
@@MarksUpholstery do you have an email that I can send it to I can't figure out how to post it here
Thank you for teaching me how to turn ugly into beautiful.i recently move to an apartment and I’m getting my furniture from goodwills and they need a little TLC ; I’m so glad I stopped and watched your channel
What size staples are you using? They look so small.
I typically use #7 3/8.
@@MarksUpholstery Thanks Mark! I'm going to use your method to change my cane chairs to fabric! Your work is amazing and the detail you put into your videos truly help many!
Try doing that, using tacks. Instead of staples.
Nope, I’ll go fishing instead 😉
Do you happen to have a link or anything for the fabric?
Sorry I do not
What’s the size of gauge you use with the stapler?
I use 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 in 22ga
So you hot glued the piping??????
Yes
What’s that little nail gun you are using? I’m ignorant to the names of things. 😬
I’m using a Rainco staple gun
Where did you get the fabric?
The fabric was provided by the client
That fabric is too die for. Anyway you could figure where it came from?
I just found it. $235. Way fair. It's so beautiful
Where are you located Mark?
Tulsa, Ok
Was surprised to see you using a pocket knife
That particular blade on the knife works well for cutting the salvage. Thanks Caren
Where can I find the materials?
Fabric or supplies?
@@MarksUpholstery supplies
do you have a favorite hot glue gun?
I’m currently using the Cobiz 60/100 watt gun.
Beautiful
