Beginners Upholstery Class

In our beginners class, you will complete four, instructor-designed projects that each teach fundamental elements of upholstery. The skills you learn can be applied to larger projects in the future. No experience is required.

The class is very hands on. You will learn to use an industrial, walking-foot sewing machine, pneumatic stapler, and other tools common to upholstery. You will install zippers and grommets, make piping, and more.
