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...

I am working on reupholstering a Lazy Boy recliner – an older style with wooden arms. I am confused as to how to attach the back covering. I understand the top attachment and the use of metal tack strips on the upper part of the back. On the lower part there are side pieces that I need to attach somehow . They are partially attached to the cushion frame and then they velcro to the chair frame. In the pictures I’ve attached them as I thought they would go but when I put it on the chair frame & velcro the top part of the piece just hangs out loose. You’d have to push it in after every recline. I cant get it to work. Also for reference sake is there a name for these added pieces? Thank You!.

Heya! It’s hard to tell from the image, but based on your description, it sounds like your back panel isn’t long enough, because when it reclines, it stretches out, and the velcro becomes unstuck. Try adjusting the length and cut a longer piece. Determine...
