[amayausers] Re: directors chair backs

Hi Linda!

Oh, I know what you are talking about.  My husband and I are "yachties" as 
well.  We own a Catalina 34 sailboat and am fully aware of  what B-O-A-T stands 
for!   Actually, it was our sail boat that got us into the embroidery industry! 
 (long story).

Thank you for the web site info.  I will check it out.  I have done repairs on 
the existing chairs that they have at the club (replacing the backing due to 
wear) but have not embroidered on them before.  The fabric backs that I bought 
from Pier One are just the "testers" that I am going to sew out on before 
tackling the backs to the chairs that the club purchased.

Thank you again for all the info!  I really do appreciate it!

  Barbara,
  We "yachties" are very particular about our boats!  B-O-A-T stands for Bring 
Out Another Thousand  in case you did not know that.

  check out www.tltinc.com 
  They sell the chairs and also sell backs with the piece of fabric to cover 
the embroidery. I have done the Pier One chair backs and I must admit that when 
I walked into my customer's store and the chair back was facing me ALL I COULD 
SEE WAS THE BOBBIN AND BACKING.   Thank goodness it was a temporary position 
for the chairs. But I will order them from this company with the cover the next 
time I have a customer asking for them.

  I have seen this company at one of the trade shows and they were selling the 
kids' director chairs for $10 there.

    Very true statement!  Luckily, a good friend of mine does upholstery work on
    yachts.   Maybe this would be a nice job to include her in on!
