[VAC] Re: Help with new upholstry (how to?)

["James E. Clark" <jec1938@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim:
If you don't already have the "commercial" sewing machine, you might spend that on tools and a lot of your 
time getting to where you can do the job on the furniture...If your experience turns out like mine, you will 
not be able to stand looking at the furniture when you are done..and the sewing machine used may never work 
right again..
I have been an avid "do it yourself" proponent, but I have spent more than the quote, and wound up with a 
bunch of tools that I won't use ever again, and a less than satisfactory end result...
If you were to take a second job somewhere, you would probably make the cash you need and wind up with a 
nice looking couch... No experience gained in upholstery however...
If you decide to press on, I suggest a course at a community college or trade school... There is a lot to 
learn...You just might make the investment back on the next job, helping someone else...

Good luck...
