About Abagail's Fabrics & Terry's Upholstery Service

Abagail's Fabrics and Terry's Upholstery Service brings together two complementary businesses under one roof in Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte's size and design culture create steady demand for upholstery work, from Dilworth bungalows with vintage armchairs to South End condos getting a modern refresh. Having a fabric store paired with an upholstery service means customers can select materials and arrange work in a single stop. That convenience is a real advantage in a busy city where time matters.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

The furniture reupholstery service covers everything from dining chairs and accent pieces to full sofas and sectionals, handling both the structural prep work and fabric application. Because the business includes a fabric store, the selection process is more hands-on than at shops that work from a limited sample book. You can feel the materials, compare textures side by side, and get guidance from staff who understand how different fabrics behave once they're applied to furniture. This setup is particularly useful for interior designers managing multiple projects who need to match fabrics across several pieces.

Service Area

Abagail's Fabrics and Terry's Upholstery Service is located in Charlotte and serves customers throughout Mecklenburg County. Clients regularly come in from surrounding areas including Pineville, Matthews, and Mint Hill for the shop's combined fabric and upholstery offerings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the benefit of choosing a shop that sells fabric and does upholstery in the same location?
It eliminates the guesswork that comes from ordering fabric online or from a separate retailer without knowing how it will behave on your specific piece. The upholstery team can advise on which fabrics from the store's inventory will work best for your project before you commit.
Do you work with interior designers who need upholstery for client projects?
Shops that combine fabric retail and upholstery services frequently work with professional designers, sometimes offering trade pricing or expedited scheduling for repeat business. It's worth calling to ask about any trade program if you're a designer with ongoing needs.
How much fabric will I need for a standard sofa reupholstery?
A typical three-seat sofa requires between 12 and 20 yards of fabric depending on its style, cushion count, and whether you're matching a pattern. The shop can calculate the exact yardage once they've assessed your piece, which is important to get right before you purchase.
Can you reupholster dining chairs with the seats attached, or do they need to come off?
For drop-in seat dining chairs, the seats typically come off easily and the reupholstery can be done quickly without the full chair needing to be in the shop. Chairs with fully upholstered backs or arms are a bigger job and may need to come in for a full assessment.
What should I do if my furniture has a broken spring or sagging seat before I bring it in?
Bring it in anyway. Structural issues like broken springs or sagging are normal findings during a reupholstery project, and a shop experienced in furniture work will address them as part of the job. Getting a quote that includes repairs upfront is better than discovering problems mid-project.
How do velvet and other delicate fabrics hold up on frequently used furniture?
Modern performance velvets are significantly more durable than older versions and can work well on everyday furniture if you choose the right grade. A shop with an in-house fabric selection can show you which velvets are rated for higher wear and help you balance the look you want with practical durability.
