PERFECTING THE ARM COVER

 

Diana Peltier has come up with the perfect technique for making arms covers that she'd love to share with us.   Do you still offer arm covers?  Do you have a Serger to finish the edges?  Do you line your arm covers? How much extra fabric do you order for arm covers?  Do your clients prefer arm covers?

 

Please come and see what Diana has to share and share your own techniques and answers to the previous questions.

The PUAM meetings are monthly meetings to support each  other and to share upholstery knowledge. We’d love to have  your input on topics you’d like to have discussed or  presented on different upholstery techniques. It is easiest to  show techniques in a shop environment but we are open to  meeting in rooms provided by restaurants, libraries,  community centers, etc. If you have a topic or location that  we can use, please contact us at host@upholsterymn.org.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank  you!*All dates and locations are subject to change so watch  the newsletter each month for any unforeseen changes.  Thanks!
