idiom of the upholstery/upholstering
Explanation:
Of the various translations I have for "stoppning", "upholstering" or "furniture upholstering" seemed the only one that would have its own idioms. Finally found an analogous English use in Sweden -- see the sample sentence and "Sammanfattning" in the reference link for it.
