Getting Started in Western Upholstery Workbook - Digital
This eBook workbook is a great resource to get you started upholstering. Its not a step by step guide (although it does have some step by step instruction throughout it) but it will provide you with the tools, materials and suppliers and a brief overview of each upholstery step. It was designed to be used in conjunction with the in person workshops and the membership group but is a valuable resource on its own to get you started.
