A term that has gone so quickly, which I'm so surprised by because so much work and studying has been achieved in one term. When all projects are together ready for verification it really shows the hard work and dedication which has gone into this term. I am also amazed by the standard of the written projects that have been completed by these wonderful people. Congratulations to and Elaine you really have worked your socks off to earn your Stage 1 certicate. I am luckily going to be teaching these three again for Stage 2 of the AMUSF.

UPDATE ON CLASSES!!!

My previous post for a class on the 15th for Back Tacking and ply grip, I will be changing this to a class to Cuts.

So from feedback and popularity, it seems that making cuts is something you Upholsterers would like to practice on.

I'm amazed how fast this has booked there is only one space available for the 15th of July 😲

But don't worry space is available for the 29th of July for the same class on how to make cuts.

Come along to feel more confident, you will be taught tips and techniques to make cuts in upholstery,
