There are a few things that I would like to point out to you about how this chair was reupholstered. I am sure “Henry” was doing the best he could but he either was inexperienced or limited to what he could do because he underestimated the job. Some of the issues that are with this chair today have been there since it was last reupholstered. Some upholsters try to “cover up” or “hide” these type of issues but that type of upholstery work only delays the inevitable. Stretching webbing over the old webbing isn’t so unusual to raise a drooping seat but the old webbing was deteriorating to the point that it needed to be replaced. Adding some webbing may raise the seat a little but it won’t repair spring ties that are broken. Adding more padding or trying to stretch muslin over the top won’t fix untied springs either. The only thing that will repair an untied spring is to tie it back. Another issue that I would like to point out is that when “Henry’ applied the inside back cover he either didn’t have enough fabric or he didn’t measure correctly. In the one picture I have highlighted with chalk a seam that really shouldn’t be there. Now my point is not to “bad mouth” Henrys work but to illustrate that to elevate your craft to a Master Craftsman level these are the type of techniques that you want to NOT DO.
