  • Sit down with me for a chat about how I package and ship my rugs and the products & tools I use to do so. Shipping has been a challenging and intimidating part of selling my rugs. I'm sharing everything I've learned so far, but I'm in no way an expert on this! Take what you will from it 😌 I hope it can serve as a starting point for those who were intimidated like I was.
    Lot's of talking in this one, the timestamps below should be helpful 👇

    Could you please make an updated backing and finishing video? It looks like you’ve improved upon your previous methods

    Thank you so much for this video! It is so hard to find info on how to do this, and every tufter is also still figuring out what works best for them! And yes please make a video about shipping big rugs! I have made a couple of bigger rugs, but i have gotten away with being able to do meetups, but that’s not always ideal or possible. And i figure if i can just find a big enough box to ship it in, i’ll do that. But then shipping prices are soo intimidating

      I change up my backing, but I ran out of rug pads and just haven't bought them since. So I've been using cloth backing instead. I can make an updated backing video soon!
