PRESENTATION

 

LEATHER

 

. Member will share tips and techniques about working with leather.  Can you steam leather? Can you cut the welt pieces with a curved cut? Do you cut cushions panels smaller because of the stretch? What are the different types of leather?  Where do you purchase your leather? Did you know PUAM's vendor members sell leather?

Come, share, and learn valuable information about working with leather.     

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!
