Do you realize that we have about 70 posts...none about stitching. I
think it is great, and shows what a diversified group we are, Friendship
covers many areas.

I always reckoned you can't talk about stitching all of the time -
stitching - info - much chat, is what a live stitching group does when
it meets.

I've been recovering diningroom chair seats today, my hands ache from
the staple machine and I have ripped most of my finger nails removing
staples. Oh well, two left to do tomorrow.
Hey- when you're done, want to come help me. Mine are seats only and I have
a staple pulling tool. Bonus is you can help me shop for new fabric first!
LOL

I was really lucky - when I moved here I had a chair professionally
recovered, for some reason old Bucket really hated that chair, it was
ribbons but thankfully he was not interested in the recovered chair.

I was a bit annoyed at the time that they apparently ordered enough of
two fabrics to cover two chairs - but it has come in handy now. I did
the two end chairs in one fabric and the others in the other. Looks
like it was intentional lol

What sort of staple pulling tool do you mean ? I have two different
ones (left over from upholstery classes) but they are not powered so
still require hands, fingers and wrists. These had been shot in with
a power stapler so were beastly.
It is an extra long tool for more leverage - one end is forked and the
other like a narrow flat screwdriver - about a foot long. Worked a treat
