Читать книгу The Upholstery Bible - Cherry Dobson - Страница 5
ОглавлениеFOREWORD
The restoration and reupholstery of furniture has recently been enjoying a revival. This new appreciation has been fuelled by an admiration of traditional quality, the wonderful variety of fabrics available and the desire of people of all ages and backgrounds to embark upon projects with pleasing and worthwhile objectives. This guide will help to lead you through the basics of the craft, but also introduce you to some of my personal “tips”, which come from many years’ experience of tackling the “knotty problems” that frequently occur in upholstery. The craft is labour intensive and requires patience and perseverance – but the rewards are wonderful. I hope that this book will be a useful addition to your bookshelf and will encourage you, so that you will both enjoy and take pride in the results.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
To my mother for her love and patience when I have been engrossed in the “book”. To my many friends who have been so supportive, especially to Peter for his diligent proof reading, and to Pat for providing the food. Not forgetting the students I have met over the past 25 years. Without them and their chairs, I would never have learned so much. Hopefully this book will be a reminder to all of them of the techniques I have taught them.
