This review is written to let consumers know not to use the services of Deacon Willie Whiteside of The Stitch Maker business in Madison, TN. His services are not of a professional standard for a professional upholsterer.
I sat outside his home for 45 minutes in the cold January 26. He lied saying he didn't know I was out there. I knocked so many times on the front door, the back door, and his business door behind his house, his wife finally heard me. I called his phone multiple times from the driveway to leave voicemails. I text him two days in advance to tell him when I was arriving.
I went to professional work rooms in middle TN and Kentucky to show them Deacon Willie Whiteside's work. They've removed his name from all referral lists. I went to fabric stores to show them his work; the owners have removed his name from their referral list. Three attorneys called me saying, report him for fraud, which I'm doing.

December 5, The Williams Family of Murfreesboro hired you to reupholster two Hooker recliners from the Sam Moore Collection. You were provided 20 yards of fabrics, two boxes of DADS nail tacks. Instructions were to use the neutral fabric for both recliners with a 5" plum stripe down the front, center of each recliner. The stripes on the chairs waver back and forth from 3" to more than 5".
January 26, 2022 The Williams Family picked up the recliners stating they were not professionally upholstered. You would not release to the chairs unless payment was made; you stated you'd sell them. You failed to disclose you accidentally broke and tried to repair one leg of the chair.
Mr. Whiteside, your work can be viewed at the URL below, organized in 24 folders according to topic.

It would've been appropriate to disclose prior to December 5, your eyesight was compromised, you were scheduled for eye surgery the following week; and, due to decades of upholstery, your fingers could no longer straighten out to allow you to measure straight, cut fabric in a straight line, grab, tuck, fold and sew fabric in a straight line with the accuracy and standards of a professional upholsterer. As you're aware, there's an exorbitant of hot glue throughout the chairs. You didn't even use the existing fabric to make a template to ensure the cushions fit.
163 images are in the folder for your review by topic. Ms. Williams' goal is to not to broadcast the unacceptable work, but to receive payment for the additional expenses she's incurred.
This demand letter is for you to pay The Williams Family $1,579, by February 21, via a US postal money order. Thank you for your time Mr. & Mrs. Whiteside and thank you for understanding.
