upholstery stitching techniques

When it comes to upholstery, the details make all the difference – especially the stitching.

Fast furniture is everywhere. It seems like cheap, trendy pieces are all that’s available these days. With their particle board and flimsy construction, these items might seem like a bargain, but they come with a cost.

A table with many different tools on it

If you’ve been shopping for upholstered furniture or looking into reupholstery services recently, you might have encountered the acronyms COM or COL. It’s important to understand what these terms mean because they can affect the cost, process, and timeline of your project. Knowing the details can help you make the best decision for your furniture and your budget. What Does COM Mean? COM stands for “Customer’s Own Material.” This term is used by furniture manufacturers and upholstery shops to indicate that you, the customer, will be providing your own fabric for the project. Instead of choosing from the options provided by the manufacturer or upholsterer, you might have a specific fabric in mind that you want to use. For instance, you may have found a fabric that matches your curtains perfectly or one that adds a personal touch to your space. What Does COL Mean? Similar to COM, COL stands…
