In Practice
At Extra Touch Upholstery, gimp is part of the standard vocabulary of every commission — discussed openly with clients during the specification phase and documented in the written scope before any work begins. Whether you are restoring a family heirloom, commissioning a new custom piece, or refreshing a Lake Tahoe estate, this is the level of detail you should expect from a serious atelier.
