If anyone in the comments who can’t afford tuft the world clippers, the exact same ones are on Amazon, same look, same color and specs, adjustable speeds. It’s literally the same product.😩 They were called “dream reach pet grooming clippers”. Less than 60 bucks!
I've only made a few rugs so far and I had wondered why my lettering wasn't as crisp as others that I've seen. I think sculpting will definitely take my rugs to the next level. Great video.
AJ, I just want you to know that I have followed every single tip and trick you have posted and I was sooo ready when my tufting kit arrived ! I want to thank you so much ! I’m on rug 5 and getting Better each time , because of you ! Wooo Hoooo !
I mainly use a loop pile gun and I've always wondered what's the best way to make my rugs look clean post tufting. What methods would you advise? Sculpting as I go will definitely be incorporated moving onwards!
When I use the loop pile, I go through with scissors around lines to cut the loops down a little, or cut any loops that are too long. It’s not super noticeable when you cut some loops here and there
If you haven't tried them already, I highly recommend spring-loaded scissors! They've been a huge game-changer for me when I have to cut out loads of fabric.
Thank you for showing mask wearing when you use the clippers! I'm trying to get in the better habit of using a mask because those teeny tiny fibers are not good to inhale even without noticing them! Protect those lungs! :) Great advice here when it comes to that fine tuning and attention to detail.
Tuft the World just posted it in the shop! They just posted it! tuftinggun.com/collections/finishing-tools/products/shearing-guide Don’t forget you can use code MAGIC15 to save some money
Exactly what I need! I’ve been winging it but I finally decided to put the tools down and watch a couple of videos to avoid silly mistakes 😅 On that note, May you share the video for patching up tears (party why I’m here; decided I should learn how to use the shears and not just resort to the toxic mentality of I can figure it out when the information is already out there and accessible😅) Thank you for this 🤗
so then the background doesn't get sculpted right? my first attempt at sculpting, a few rugs ago, didn't quite go as planned and make the words pop so I think ill try not sculpting the background this time
Can someone please help me! Every time I make a rug the monks cloth starts to show from the front. It isn’t much but it’s very small strands of monks cloth that come out and it is especially noticeable on dark colors. Could someone please give me advice!
Hey AJ! This is an off topic question but here we go....I have a lopped pile area rug and I need a tufted pile...Can I just cut the loops to make the tufts? (this is a store bought rug) Thanks!!
I’ve been tufting a year and I tried the clean my edges before finishing once and def cut a huge hole in my canvas 😅 watch where your clippers are folks !
I thought you said "clear rugs" at the beginning of the video. Then I saw them finished and was like that makes way more sense cause how would you be able to see through the rug?
Is there a video I missed showing how you attached that plexiglass like material to your big shears? So that you get a straight, leveled cut all across the surface of the entire rug as a whole?
I love your video's! It helped me a lot during tufting! Streaming a lot of your video's on the television here in Holland during tuft breaks for tips. Thank you so much!!! 🥰
Yeah definitely have to be careful! But you can always stick with scissors to cut the part closest to the fabric! And keep the clippers away from the fabric and just on the yarn 😊
Hello Aj...I like your Rugs 💗💓💕❣🖤💜💙💚 I was looking for Tufting Gun and I couldn't find any here in Ethiopia. And am also a bit confused about whether to buy a separate machine or both function machines (cut pile and loop pile together) From online....can you pleaaaaasssss help.....pleassssss🥺
Hey AJ what a great video thanks so much for the useful tips! I went to the sponsor’s website to try and purchase one of those shear leveling platforms as that seems game changing but could not find it anywhere on their website. Please tell me how can one acquire such a magnificent tool? Thank you!
It depends! I have another video about this, but start up costs aren't cheap. Anywhere from a couple hundred to a thousand depending on how many tools you buy and what quality of material you use.
LOVE your videos and your work! If I didn't know to buy yarn on the spools/cones in the first place, any leads on a machine that helps with winding skeins onto cones? I can find machines that wind skeins into cakes, but not onto cones. Local yarn stores were not helpful. I envy your perfect wall of cones!!
LOVE your videos! One question, can you do a video (or link me to a video) of how to do thinner vs thicker lines? Like for your "queer" rugs, how did you get such thin lines?
Really neat and beautifully done. Question unrelated is it possible to make a rug out of squares and then join them together like a patchwork and then do the finishing , glue backing etc
Love your content but was curious on your backing techniques.I’ve seen your backing techniques with the waterfall edge but with the rugs and this video it looks different would you be able to give us tips on how to get the backing that looks as professional as yours?
(sorry for my bad english) Ive juste started to make rug with a ''punch pen'', My question : Can you shave loop punch to make them soft like your? I dont think i get the patience to cut all the loop with cisors ...
I hella noticed the direction of the loops when doing mine with punch needle, so now I try to go all over the place and avoid straight lines entirely. It really does help!
I spent so much money at a fabric store and I think I bought the wrong rug fabric because it keeps ripping! I've been trying to squint at your fabric to make sure I have the same one lol
Yeah fabric is super important to get right. The best option out there is tufting fabric, which you can get online. The cheap alternative is burlap, but that can be prone to tearing sometimes
Me, who has never made a rug or even interacted with yarn: "This is some quality content right here. "
I have now purchased a rug gun and will commit war crimes.
@@GalaGrinsArt bahhh hahaha the evolution in 4 months
I think so
😂 you’re not wrong
😂😂😂
If anyone in the comments who can’t afford tuft the world clippers, the exact same ones are on Amazon, same look, same color and specs, adjustable speeds. It’s literally the same product.😩
They were called “dream reach pet grooming clippers”. Less than 60 bucks!
they’re $157 australian dollars for me 💀
@@hesh2439 oh no I’m sorry I’m in the US:(
thank you for this comment!!! now just the platform for the big shears!
omg thank you lol
Ok but that sheering guard thing would be an absolute game changer 🤩
I've only made a few rugs so far and I had wondered why my lettering wasn't as crisp as others that I've seen. I think sculpting will definitely take my rugs to the next level. Great video.
I started Tufting for the first time omg you make this look soo easy 😮 my lines are everywhere 🤦♀️ beautiful rugs.
Very nice. And thank you for the info about sculpting before doing back ground. And also going in one direction. That makes so much sense.
لا افهم اللغة الانجليزية....لكن أشعق عملك...متقن وراءع ...👍👍
Great tutorial, even an old guy like me can follow, keep up the great work.
AJ, I just want you to know that I have followed every single tip and trick you have posted and I was sooo ready when my tufting kit arrived ! I want to thank you so much ! I’m on rug 5 and getting Better each time , because of you ! Wooo Hoooo !
Love to hear it!! So happy for you!
I love it!!! I can see the difference in your rugs and its beautiful
Thank you so much 🥺💓
wow! I really love your rugs, thank you so much for teaching your technique!!
I got those clippers yesterday im.scared to use them theu work way better than my other ones.
I mainly use a loop pile gun and I've always wondered what's the best way to make my rugs look clean post tufting. What methods would you advise? Sculpting as I go will definitely be incorporated moving onwards!
I don’t think you can use clippers for a loop pile, they would cut the loops
@@bsummers1386 Oh so am I just meant to leave it as it is and focus more on making cleaner lines?
When I use the loop pile, I go through with scissors around lines to cut the loops down a little, or cut any loops that are too long. It’s not super noticeable when you cut some loops here and there
Those clippers are also dog grooming clippers their on Amazon as well. They are amazing!
Thanks again AJ 🙏🏽
If you haven't tried them already, I highly recommend spring-loaded scissors! They've been a huge game-changer for me when I have to cut out loads of fabric.
Thank you for this suggestion! I just bought some today because of you 💓
Thank you for showing mask wearing when you use the clippers! I'm trying to get in the better habit of using a mask because those teeny tiny fibers are not good to inhale even without noticing them! Protect those lungs! :) Great advice here when it comes to that fine tuning and attention to detail.
Sou inscrito e amo as suas especificações! Estou estudando com vc para adquirir uma máquina.
Hi AJ, during 0:09 you are loading your yarn on a holder. Where can I get that holder from?
Can you make a video of you using the yarn winder and how to properly use it
Tuft the world straight up ripping people off. You can get these exact same clippers for way cheaper from places like amazon or Aliexpress.
Onde eu compro uma máquina dessa em um site confiável?
I wanna see more loop videos
Great vid! 💜
Hello I'm a beginner what kind of a good weaving gun
Does it matter to sheer before or after glueing ??
Found these razors on amazon for like $60-70
Those exact clippers are $50 on Amazon to sell them for $90 is FUCKING INSANEEEEEEEE
i saw them for like 4 bucks on temu
Hallo, can i ask you where you buy the Yarn?
Thanks a lot 🙂
Nice work
La rosa pecore l'hai modificata tu o si trova così in commercio? Se si dove la posso trovare?
I NEED THAT SHEERING PLATFORM

Hello after completing the rug and backing the rug i noticed there were few placed where was no yarn could you please give some tips on that
Your backing looks very clean. Any chance you can show your process/ materials for finishing the backing? 🙏🏽
Idk if you already found it or not but she has her backing and finishing video on he page
@@toiasadler4438 but she uses a different backing
Exactly what I need! I’ve been winging it but I finally decided to put the tools down and watch a couple of videos to avoid silly mistakes 😅
On that note, May you share the video for patching up tears (party why I’m here; decided I should learn how to use the shears and not just resort to the toxic mentality of I can figure it out when the information is already out there and accessible😅)
Thank you for this 🤗
Which shearing platform/guide is compatible with the beetro sheep shears? I can't find one😩😔
I’m just getting started on my journey and I’ve found your page to be invaluable. Thank you for sharing your creativity with the world! 💚
Same! She’s amazing
so then the background doesn't get sculpted right? my first attempt at sculpting, a few rugs ago, didn't quite go as planned and make the words pop so I think ill try not sculpting the background this time
Can someone please help me! Every time I make a rug the monks cloth starts to show from the front. It isn’t much but it’s very small strands of monks cloth that come out and it is especially noticeable on dark colors. Could someone please give me advice!
Maybe try the cloth she is using I heard its alot better than monks cloth
Hey AJ! This is an off topic question but here we go....I have a lopped pile area rug and I need a tufted pile...Can I just cut the loops to make the tufts? (this is a store bought rug) Thanks!!
Yall can get the exact same clippers from AliExpress for like 60$ less then what tuftworld is selling them for.. just saying
I’ve been tufting a year and I tried the clean my edges before finishing once and def cut a huge hole in my canvas 😅 watch where your clippers are folks !
After all this work you get a rug that should be paid 500-1000$ and I just can't see people buying this with 5$ rugs available.
I completed tufting a rug and I wanted to use my shears to sculpt. Is it considered too late to sculpt my rug?
I thought you said "clear rugs" at the beginning of the video. Then I saw them finished and was like that makes way more sense cause how would you be able to see through the rug?
Am I able to use regular clippers?
Is there a video I missed showing how you attached that plexiglass like material to your big shears? So that you get a straight, leveled cut all across the surface of the entire rug as a whole?
The one she has is sold by tuft the world, it’s called a shearing guide ! But there are videos out there showing how to DIY them :)
I wonder what sexuality you are...
damn I am so fed up with it. Do the people need to profil themselfes so much with it?
I love your video's! It helped me a lot during tufting! Streaming a lot of your video's on the television here in Holland during tuft breaks for tips. Thank you so much!!! 🥰
Guys you can get the clippers on Amazon for 59! They are dog clippers that they are reselling
Definitely wear a respirator when doing this. Tiny acrylic fibers are *not* good for your lungs.
Hey do you fill each section before shaving or would you do the outline then shave then fill then shave again?
Does tuft the world sale the sheer platform?
They will be soon!
I notice I leave holes when I remove the gun. What am I doing wrong? I don’t see your rugs with holes and the lines are so close to each other.
all your tips and vids have helped made starting out so easy! keep up the great work
I’m absolutely afraid of sculpting 😩 so scared I’m going to rip my fabric
Yeah definitely have to be careful! But you can always stick with scissors to cut the part closest to the fabric! And keep the clippers away from the fabric and just on the yarn 😊
Can you please show me how you setup your yarn? Are they on cones? Or did you cake them?
😘😘😘😘
My god I need that shearing guide
Are you using the tuft the world shearing guide with that beetro sheep shears in the description

And am also a bit confused about whether to buy a separate machine or both function machines (cut pile and loop pile together) From online....can you pleaaaaasssss help.....pleassssss🥺
Don’t buy the clippers from them. I literally bought the same ones from Amazon for $45. 90 is just them buying the clippers to resell
Hey AJ what a great video thanks so much for the useful tips! I went to the sponsor’s website to try and purchase one of those shear leveling platforms as that seems game changing but could not find it anywhere on their website. Please tell me how can one acquire such a magnificent tool?

Very expert work!

It depends! I have another video about this, but start up costs aren't cheap. Anywhere from a couple hundred to a thousand depending on how many tools you buy and what quality of material you use.
What guard level is your platform?
Does the propaganda never stop??? Too bad, so sad.
they're on amazon for under $50
The carving technique tips helped me SO much. Seriously, my rug looked 10x better. Thank you!
You're amazing. Srsly. You're big big big help 💕 Consider you a big part of my success.

How to know how much wool to buy for the project
I agree these carpet clippers are a GAME CHANGER! My question is, how do you oil them? where exactly do you distribute it?
You made a rug with queer on it, really

Hi! I'm new in this, i want to ask you, what kind of tufting gun do you recommend? 🙌🏾
they are on alliexpress for £35 ;)
Yay, Thanks so much AJ, that is so helpful. And will definitely be investing in a platform and rug shaping clippers.
Bonjour
J’aimerais savoir c’est quoi la plaque que vous avez mis sur la tondeuse ? Ou l’acheter merci ?
Those clippers are pet clippers tho. Cause I have the same ones in my cart on Amazon,
(sorry for my bad english) Ive juste started to make rug with a ''punch pen'', My question : Can you shave loop punch to make them soft like your? I dont think i get the patience to cut all the loop with cisors ...
You can try! But I have found that it's not easy to shear loops. It might be because I use wool (acrylic might be easier to shear)
I hella noticed the direction of the loops when doing mine with punch needle, so now I try to go all over the place and avoid straight lines entirely. It really does help!
Do they sell the platform on their site?

I keep putting holes in the fabric what am I doing wrong?
Thank you for the great video. Can you also do the scoping with a loop pile carpet?
Another great video! Thanks much!
Could you post a link to the sheering platform? I've seen others use a similar thing but just don't have the time to figure it out.

Don’t forget you can use code MAGIC15 to save some money 👀
Do the other clippers you bought before the new ones still work well on sculpting? Like for making your letters and clouds pop from the background?
I bought some that were small and they were too small to cut the yarn 😞😞 but I want my lines to look like your s
Thanks for sharing, this video was helpful.
I want to do this so bad, but its so expensive here in Australia to get started
3:05 9$??? I saw it 90$ how??
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I spent so much money at a fabric store and I think I bought the wrong rug fabric because it keeps ripping! I've been trying to squint at your fabric to make sure I have the same one lol
Yeah fabric is super important to get right. The best option out there is tufting fabric, which you can get online. The cheap alternative is burlap, but that can be prone to tearing sometimes
