I believe that the back will be easy, as it does detach from the rest of the chair. That will be the easy part. I have 3 chairs to work on. One looks a bit like the chair on Blue Roof Cabin blog. The other 2 have wooden arms and wood "wings" on the backs. I want to somehow put some padding on the wooden arms just to make them a bit more comfortable. I think I will try and come up with some kind of pads that temp attach to the arms, and then are covered by the slipcover. Wish me luck! Thanks again!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042881333237895398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069186408155333511.post-84739425869244234112012-10-18T11:43:57.141-07:002012-10-18T11:43:57.141-07:00I use and industrial Juki model ddl-5530.

I did a recliner once and wouldn't recommend them for slipcovers, because of all the moving parts. <br /><br />Here is a recliner tutorial that I saw on another blog....treat each piece separately for the moving parts.<br /><br />http://www.blueroofcabin.com/2011/02/recliner-slipcover-tutorial.htmlSlipcovers by Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573132111635844732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069186408155333511.post-277099314945017132012-10-17T08:14:29.656-07:002012-10-17T08:14:29.656-07:00Have just read your blog from beginning to end. H...Have just read your blog from beginning to end. Have looked at your great before and after pics, and want to learn to slipcover like you do it. They look wonderful. Please forgive me if I ask questions that have already been answered, as I do not read many posted comments. What kind of machine do you use for sewing? I do not have a serger and probably will not get one, so I would zigzag edges like I do now. No biggie. I have an old 60's model Singer that works great. It is a slant needle and I do break needles more often than I care to. I am assuming that is because slant needle vs straight needle. I am furnishing our home from Craigslist purchases. We love recliners, LazyBoy's to be exact. I have 1 reclining couch and 3 chairs. LazyBoy recliner backs come off, which will make it easy to cover the backs. I have been thinking about how to do the bases and the reclining footrests. Have you done any recliners or have any ideas as to how to proceed. I will be purchasing your DVD and would be interested in an advanced one as well. I have been sewing since I was probably 8 years old, and I'm 57. Slipcovers are my interest now. Thanks for your blog and answering my questions. I just love how your slipcovers turn out. Neet, clean lines, just tight enough.

Any & all "been there done that" instructions are always welcomed. As far as the turquoise...I have been buying duck cloth from JoAnn's with my 50% off coupons. Makes it right at $6 per yard. I only have half of what I think I need to cover a couch, but I am DETERMINED to do it in turquoise! So I keep going back to buy more of it.<br /><br />Sam<br />momtofatdogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389739578090412265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069186408155333511.post-54372852260549939342012-10-11T14:03:49.830-07:002012-10-11T14:03:49.830-07:00I love the grey and honestly love the turquoise. ...I love the grey and honestly love the turquoise.
