They can be expensive but if they do a great job it's worth it.

I enrolled online and received a confirmation email, but the community college swore they never received my enrollment information, so the class filled. I decided that I know enough about sewing to teach myself...with the aid of some great online videos I found. My SIL is buying me all the tools I need as soon as we get moved into the new store, and I'll be off and running.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-90852889218787739602012-02-15T12:04:41.180-06:002012-02-15T12:04:41.180-06:00Interesting,thought all this knowledge came from y...Interesting,thought all this knowledge came from your upholstery class.

We're trying out a new upholsterer right now, because our old one became somewhat hit-and-miss. One piece would be great, and the next would have something wrong that we'd have to send back to be redone<br /><br />@Kristal: I would have loved having an upholsterer for a FIL! Oh wait...that's why my SIL is pushing so hard for me to learn to recover furniture. :) The stories about your FIL are great. I guess as long as your MIL never noticed their upside-down fabric, all was right with the world. And you know what they say about the cobbler's children having no shoes. With upholsterers, that must apply to the wife. :)Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-47394375187897769482012-02-15T09:56:09.294-06:002012-02-15T09:56:09.294-06:00Even pros screw up.

The first time I saw them I whispered to my then boyfriend, "He ran the fabric upside down!" I don't know if either of them ever noticed.<br /><br />Another story was that once my MIL asked my FIL, "Why can you upholster for every woman in the valley except me?" He answered, "Because you're such damn poor pay!"<br /><br />Man, I wish he was still around and could do my upholstery (he may have put off his wife, but not his kids).Kristalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10386648536710983525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-38325473836914252682012-02-15T08:45:58.147-06:002012-02-15T08:45:58.147-06:00I first heard the term from my upholstery pros awh...I first heard the term from my upholstery pros awhile back but I guess I've always had a feel for the term even before knowing what the correct phrase was.

I hope they find these posts helpful and not deadly boring. :)Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-16066842533078510412012-02-15T02:25:03.594-06:002012-02-15T02:25:03.594-06:00Great post - i had no idea it was called railroadi...Great post - i had no idea it was called railroading :o) Scarlett xScarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127736256417833208noreply@blogger.com
