Maybe I'll have to try again.

I've never had a second pair of hands to help me, so I've learned to do it alone. <BR/><BR/>1. Cut the fabric wider than the seat (I leave a generous margin and trim after stapling).<BR/><BR/>2. Place the seat top down on the fabric. Adjust the center if needed.<BR/><BR/>3. Pull one side of the fabric around the edge of the seat--staple one or two times in the middle of that side.<BR/><BR/>4. Now pull the OPPOSITE side's fabric over the edge, making sure it is stretched tightly. Staple one or two times in the middle of that side.<BR/><BR/>5. Repeat for the two remaining sides, pulling tightly as you staple. Now you should have all four sides tightly stretched at key points. <BR/><BR/>6. Continue stretching and stapling the unfastened areas on all four sides.<BR/><BR/>7. Fold or pleat the fabric at each corner, pull tightly, and staple.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1125675886729389272005-09-02T10:44:00.000-05:002005-09-02T10:44:00.000-05:00I can never recover chairs without someone there t...I can never recover chairs without someone there to help me hold the fabric taut.
