Excellent choice! Allowed me to mend my household upholstery. Read more

The project I bought these for failed miserably but the upside is, I got this really cool sewing kit. The threads are thick and easy to work with. It comes with multiple needles and a ripper and a cool case. Also the scissors are really great! I ended up cutting a the loose threads on a bunch of jeans and towels. Terrific. Read more

Good selection of large eye needles. The kit comes with the needles and thread, scissors, also a seam ripper, thimbles and threaders. Very useful. Read more
Good quality ! I’d buy again! Read more
Looks like a decent kit. But unfortunately I didn't get to try it. The item I intended to repair was beyond help. But I don't mind keeping it for future repairs. Read more
I am a creative person who enjoys sewing and crafting, and anything DIY, but only at a beginner-level. I have a degree in interior design and I work with upholstery shops all the time. Their custom work is super expensive so I am naturally curious to try some simple projects myself, such as creating my own custom headboard, or re-upholstering a bench or ottoman with awesome, textured fabric or a thin rug. I have watched many DIY YouTube video tutorials and I think I am ready to give it a try. That is why I was excited to come across and order this basic set of upholstery repair kit, but was mainly looking forward to trying these special, heavy duty needles that are claimed to be strong enough to handle leather. The snipping scissors, the seam ripper, and thimbles are similar to what I already own and they all seem good quality after testing them on a garment. The bonded waxed thread samples are not enough for a full upholstery project, but they would certainly be perfect for smaller repairs. I appreciate the compact plastic storage box that keeps all the pieces of this kit together and organized. As I am yet to try and test the individual tools and materials on an actual upholstery project, I can certainly say that the seller's listing accurately advertises the contents of the kit. I will update my review once I am ready to fully report back on how the repair kit functions in real action. Read more


**Improved Product Review** I purchased this upholstery repair kit to have on hand for when I’m ready to fix my aging reclining couch. The padding is starting to wear down, and this kit will make the repair process much easier. In the past, I struggled with small straight needles designed for sewing—they were painful to push through thick upholstery fabric, and regular sewing thread was too weak for the job. This kit offers a great selection of tools for upholstery repair. It includes several colors of durable thread designed specifically for upholstery, making it easy to match typical materials. The set also provides multiple heavy-duty needles, each shaped for different purposes (leather, upholstery, sails, etc.). The needles are long and thick, and the curved ones are especially helpful for reaching difficult areas. There’s also a stitch ripper tool, a pair of upholstery scissors, and thimble rings to help push needles through tough fabric without hurting your fingers. The clear storage case keeps everything organized, which is a nice bonus. For $9, the price is excellent and the kit offers great value. Read more


I ordered this VEAPILS upholstery repair kit after coming home from a trip to find a 15-inch stretch of popped stitches along the arm of my favorite recliner. A fill-in housesitter had used it, and while it wasn’t intentional, the damage was done. The chair is my go-to spot after long days, so rather than pay for professional reupholstery or replace it, I decided to tackle the fix myself. This kit looked like exactly what I needed for a strong, invisible hand-sewn repair. The kit is fairly complete, with multiple colors of bonded round waxed thread (black, white, brown), a selection of heavy-duty sewing needles (including two curved ones that make stitching through thick upholstery much easier), thimbles for pushing without sore fingers, and extras like straight needles, threader, seam ripper, and scissors. The waxed thread is strong and thick—feels like it will hold up to real stress without fraying or snapping. I’ll start the repair on the recliner after the Holidays, but I already know that the curved needles are the standout: I tested, and they'll let me work from the underside and pull stitches tight without fighting the padding or frame. The thimble keeps things comfortable during long sessions, and the thread grips itself well for secure knots. The mend will blend in nicely - no pulling or looseness after testing the chair. The rest of the kit (extra thread spools, assorted needles) will come in handy for future fixes on furniture, auto seats, or even heavy canvas gear around the farm. Everything stores neatly in the included case. Overall, this is a well-stocked upholstery repair kit for anyone wanting to handle their own stitching on furniture or leather goods. The waxed thread is tough and reliable, the curved needles and thimble make the job manageable by hand, and having multiple colors means you can match most materials. The price is competitive for a complete set that goes beyond the basics. Glad I went this route—saved me from losing my favorite recliner, and I’ve got the tools for whatever comes up next.
