One of my first projects was diamond tufted booths for a restaurant and I was confident I’d be able to do it with Neil’s detailed, easy to follow videos. I’ve successfully gone on to do many many more projects thanks to their extensive library.
Neil’s video quickly got my attention among many others on there, not only because he explains everything down to micro-detail while showing every bit of it, but he does it effortlessly, adding a super fun and friendly flair making the experience of learning quite enjoyable.
I’ve been watching Neil’s tutorials on YouTube during the past year and l find them really helpful for learning new techniques or refreshing my memory. In our trade experience is precious and l love how it’s generously shared by Facelift Interiors. Thank you so much & keep rocking!
The videos have been invaluable to me because even though I’m already doing upholstery, every job is different and there are always new things to learn. It’s so helpful to see how other upholsterers do things and Neil’s videos are easy to understand and enjoyable to watch. They’re filmed well and he is very good at teaching
