In this video tutorial you will learn how to reupholster this Tufted Victorian Chair. You will see how to cut the foam for tufting and how to attach your foam for the inside arms and inside back. I will show you how I make the appropriate cuts in the fabric to manipulate the fabric around the chair frame, how to tuft the inside arms and inside back. I will show you how to tie off the buttons once tufted, how to close up the outsides using cardboard tack strip as well as using a ladder stitch. We will attach decorative gimp to finish off our chair.
