Getting started
- If you're ordering a tuffet kit, you have several options.
- If you're not sure what you need to make your tuffet, I wrote a lengthy blog post here.
- If you already know what you need, here's the store.
- If you're taking a class with me, stop! I supply the kit in the upholstery session of the class. And you get a nice discount.
Full Tuffet Kit
This is what you want if you're making your very first tuffet. It includes the Basic kit (see below) but also has the TuffetSource pattern with one foundation, an Add a Quarter ruler, and a 12 inch needle. Feet are a separate line item. You should only order this if it's your first kit, because you don't need more than one ruler, needle, or set of instructions. Note that buying the separate items doesn't affect the overall price, so if you only need some parts of the full kit, just order a basic kit and then add whatever tools you need. Order the full kit here.

Basic Tuffet Kit
This is the kit you want if you have already ordered the full tuffet kit or you have purchased the pattern or already own an Add a Quarter ruler, etc. This kit contains the wood base, four t-nuts, furniture grade upholstery foam, upholstery batting, assembled button form, and cording. Feet are a separate line item, as is any foundation. Order the basic kit here.

Pre-made Tuffet Form.
This is exactly the same as the Basic Kit except that I make the underlying form for you. You will still get cording, an assembled button form, and t-nuts (which will be installed in the tuffet form). This saves you a bit of stapling and time. Order the pre-made form here.

A note about shipping
Shipping a tuffet throws my website hosting service for a loop because of the oversized, yet relatively light box. There are times when shipping may appear way more expensive than it seems like it should be. When there is a shipping overage, I refund the difference. I'm working on a new solution. If you have any questions, please contact me through this form. Thanks!
