Where are you located?
I teach my classes at my local Maker Space, Maker Works here in Ann Arbor, MI.
I have a LazBoy recliner that needs the seat reupholstered. Do you think this is something I could do DIY? Or if not do you know where I might be able to get it fixed?
That does look like a LOT of work! For the record, I think anyone can attempt just about any upholstery project as a newcomer, so long as you have time and patience. I fully believe if you can follow a recipe, you can learn to do this skill. Everything becomes easier...
I’m reupholstering 1940’s dining room chairs. They have two coil straps in seats 3 and 3 . I can tie the 4 corner springs 8 ways but the middle springs only line up for 4 way tie.
Ooof! Without an image it was hard for me to visualize... This one I had to do in photoshop! You can still do an 8 way tie with this set up! I laid out your spring formation the way you have described it, and placed lines across in the direction you need to tie them...
