PLEASE NOTE: FOR PRIME ORDERS, THE FABRIC WILL COME SEPARATELY BY THE YARD YOU SELECT IN THE QUANTITY BOX Reupholstering a piece of furniture is a way to recycle, reuse and re-purpose. The cost saving versus purchasing new furniture can be substantial. However, purchasing too much fabric, which usually can not be returned, unnecessarily increases your cost, cutting into your savings. Use the upholsterer’s method of calculating fabric to ensure you get the right amount.Examine the furniture piece to familiarize yourself with the location of each section of the body. Each section is typically covered with one piece of fabric and can be contained within a square or rectangular shape. For example, on an armless chair with an upholstered seat and back, there are three sections — the seat, the inside back and the outside back. On an upholstered chair with arms, there are also two inside arm sections, two outside arms, two front of arms, one rail and one deck. The deck is the seat portion of the furniture and is often covered with cushions. The rail is the section that continues from the deck toward the floor, between the arm fronts. Measure and record the size of each section, adding 4 inches to each measurement. For example, if the inside back actual measurement is 32 inches wide and 20 inches long, record these measurements as 36 inches and 24 inches. Record all measurements as “width by length,” and write them as: “Inside back: 36 x 24.” This indicates that the piece is 36 inches from side to side, and 24 inches from top to bottom, or back to front. Always write the measurements in this format; it is also the standard format for measuring walls, windows, drapery and blinds. Cushions have an additional measurement of depth which represents the thickness of the cushion. Cut graph paper to represent the sections of fabric. On 1/4-inch graph paper using a scale of one square to equal 6 inches. If the section measurement is 36 by 24, cut a rectangle of graph paper six squares by four squares. Write the name of the section on the rectangle and note which edge represents the length of the section.Prepare a piece of 1/4-inch graph paper to represent a length of upholstery fabric. Because each square on the graph paper represents 6 inches, and typical upholstery fabric is 54 inches wide, the representation will be nine squares wide. Start with a representation length of 24 squares to represent 4 yards. Place the section representations on the graph paper, aligning the length edge of each section piece perpendicular to the width of the fabric representation on the paper. The pattern on upholstery fabric appears perpendicular to the length edge. In order for the pattern to appear correctly on the finished piece, the top of each section must orient toward the same long edge of the fabric. Continue positioning section pieces on the graph paper, adding paper to create more “length” as necessary. Count the number of squares along the long edge of the fabric representation. Multiply the number of squares by six to determine the number of inches of fabric required. Add 10 percent for ease of mind. Divide the final number by 36 to realize the number of yards required. Things You Will NeedFabric tape measure1/4-inch graph paperPaper scissorsCalculatorTipThe pattern on drapery fabric runs parallel to the long edge. Visualize bouquets of flowers running from the floor to the ceiling. On upholstery fabric, the pattern runs perpendicular to the edge. Visualize a series of bouquets along the back of the sofa. Drapery fabric is not usually suitable for upholstery.Washing : 1. **Spot Cleaning:** For small stains, use a damp cloth or sponge to gently blot the stained area. Avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain. 2. Machine Washing – If the care label permits machine washing, use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle or delicate cycle. – Use cold water and a mild detergent. 3. **Hand Washing:** – If machine washing is not recommended, hand wash the microsuede item in cold water with a mild detergent. – Gently agitate the water and avoid wringing or twisting the fabric. 4. **Drying:** – Air-dry the microsuede item whenever possible. Lay it flat on a clean, dry towel. – Avoid hanging the item, as this can cause stretching. 5. **Avoid Heat:** – Do not use heat when drying or ironing microsuede, as it may damage the fabric. 6. **Brushing:** Once the item is dry, you can use a soft-bristle brush to restore the fabric’s texture.
