Technical Upholstery Workshops/Training?

I know there are lots of awesome metal workshops and training by some awesome shops out there. Are there any places where a hobbyist could learn beginning upholstery?

 

I have just started the upholstery in my 46. I watch lots of videos on Youtube. There are hundreds of them. I also get instructions from my wife. She can upholster anything. I bought a Sailrite machine and got started a week ago. Not got nerve up to start on seats yet, but going to give it a go. Going to get a bucket seat from salvage and start with it.

 

Thanks! I got a Sailrite too and have been watching the The Lucky Needle courses. Guess I just need to try it!

Go down to an upholstery shop and ask if you can sweep the floor and learn. That's the way it was done in a lot of garages to learn mechanics or body work.

 

So far I have done carpet front and back with binding, and the door panels. I used a combination of flat, tuck and roll with carpet at the bottom where it will get scuffed. Easier than I thought it would be.

 

You might check with your local Community College. However, with Covid they may not be doing hands-on type courses.

 

I'd like to learn some basics my self. Watching this post.
