I had seen so many and even had bought the "Professional Upholstering: All the Trade Secrets" and disliked it so much I had to return it. This one is the opposite of the other: the photos, print, paper are all of great quality and the images are very explanatory. The writer gives information in a clear manner and almost nothing is left to desire. Basically, she shows 5 different reupholstery projects, and because these are so different, one can refer to mix and match pieces of each project to cater for his/her own project. There is a color diagram in the beginning of the book that shows drawings of different pieces of furniture with a variety of arms, seats, wings, etc and then one can go to the pages that show how to reupholster each of these pieces. I am reupholstering my couch for the first time and this book has been absolutely indispensable to my project. Because my couch has round arms like one of the chairs she works with, I referred to the arms of the chair to reupholster the arms of my couch, but then used other references for other parts of my couch. In addition, the book has a comprehensive appendix also with great images and explanation about tools needed, how to strip furniture (of course, because this is the first step!), sewing tips and a wonderful glossary. Finally, someone who really desires to share knowledge in a clear manner! Worth every penny.

Love it. *by P***N on March 29, 2016* I love this book. Amanda Brown has walked me through many an upholstery project and I now can consider myself a confident re-upholsterer. One tip that I would like to share is when making zippered box cushions, or zippered cushions of any kind, leave yourself at least an inch of extra zipper chain to slip the zipper pull on to, and do it in the direction that the zipper opens. If you look at the zipper chain fabric, there are a million arrow points that show the direction that the zip CLOSES so put your pull on in the opposing direction. If you have the extra zipper chain it will give you a little wiggle room to get the pull on without stressing the fabric. Amanda explains things very clearly and concisely and the photos of each operation are easy to understand. I am so glad that she is so successful. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spruce: A Step-by-Step Guide to Upholstery and Design - The Upholstery Bible: Complete Step-by-Step Techniques for Professional Results - The Furniture Bible: Everything You Need to Know to Identify, Restore & Care for Furniture --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1610638-spruce-a-step-by-step-guide-to-upholstery-and-design](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1610638-spruce-a-step-by-step-guide-to-upholstery-and-design) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
