I would love a video on how to finish off your rug and do the backing! I'm new to tufting and it's hard to find info on what to use and how to make sure the back is finished properly!
About 3 weeks ago I looked for videos on rug making and I couldn’t find a good one because I was literally envisioning a engaging and education video and I’m so glad this came up on my recommend. This was beautiful made and edited as well, well done. Can’t wait to see more videos from you girl xx
I can not wait to see your next few videos. I see a lot of videos about starting and working with the gun but I am having a hard time about finding out how to professionally finish a piece for use on the floor. Thank you for linking your adhesive and backing it helps a lot!
this is so informative thank you!! i just bought a punch needle and if i like it i’m going to save up for a tufting gun!! i’m 15 and i sell necklaces so i’m excited to put that money into this new hobby, thank you again!!
omg thank you! i have searched for more info in probably two years! - i have done hand tufting in two years and just purchased an tufting gun! so excited! thank you for all the advise :-D
Literally just found you and you’ve explained all of your tools so well! Went to your page and realized this is your first video and it was a week ago 😂😭! Cannot wait to see more content and learn so much from you 🥰😊
I'm so happy I found this video! I've been looking for new skills to learn and the algorithm sent me your video lol I"m really excited to learn! Thanks for sharing!!!
Looks great, I’d be really interested in seeing a video with all your rugs...maybe about how you come about designing them or ideas on what someone could make 😊
Wow here I was thinking this sort of stuff required Either some computerized industrial machinery, or painstakingly crocheting or something individual little pieces of yarn one by one. Who knew there was a power tool to do it makes sense lol I think I've seen some rugs like this with designs that looked very home made. Your rugs are so cute!
Thanks so much for the specific products you list!! I'm just getting started with punch needling patches and rugs, but didn't know where to turn for specific adhesives and backings. I'd love to hear your thoughts on acrylic VS wool yarn usage too! The most I've heard is a cost VS durability discussion (acrylic being cheaper and more accessible via craft stores and wool just lasting so much longer).
Super helpful! im super new to tufting and I'd love to see how you use your cut pile gun bc I've been having trouble actually getting the yarn to actually go through the fabric!
Do you prefer cut or loop setting? I want to eventually buy a tufting fun but I don’t really know the difference between the two. Can you possibly make a video how each setting looks on the rug? Thank you!
I did not know the difference either. This video helped me. th-cam.com/video/O5Cm_ztVtT4/w-d-xo.html Fast forward to about 1 minute 28 seconds to see the difference.
looks great. thanks for these info. tell me pls which kind of yard material is best and the size? if u have any video about finishing or backing send me the link pls
Hmm I think this might have to be it I was really interested in rug making after seeing stuff on Instagram your video is very digest able and yours talented so I could pay attention and I noticed your finger tats and I have the same ones on my left hand synchronicities drive me so I think I’ll get into making my first soon
i wanna start start tufting so bad but its so expensive! i hope i am able to buy a starter kit, sell my rugs and make all the money i spent back lol. very nice video thank u!!
This is such a great video for a beginner like me! So far I've been using a punch needle to make small wall hangings and was wondering if getting a tufting gun would save me time? How long do the rugs take to make with your tufting gun? And how long would these sized rugs take to make with a punching needle? Sorry if this is a weird specific question haha. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us!
A tufting gun will absolutely save you time if you are punch needling. I recently did a piece using both a punch needle and my gun (which is cut-pile, so it has a different look than punch needle). There are some things that the punch needle is better for, but you're going to get speed with the gun.
Do these rugs last long? I'm sore they do but I feel like alot of the ones I have seen are for wall hanging and they say they're not good in heavy traffic areas
I had a question. Can you produce that on to a jean jacket? Can you tuft on a jean jacket? I don't know if they use the same technique but I've been seeing like these carpet pieces on t shirts and it looks bad but if they had added it to a jean jacket it would probably look real good
Hi great job thanks for the video this is a really cool way to make art! Does it stay okay with people walking on it? Does it last long or would you want to keep it on a wall so as to not ruin it? I love the font you used for the writing! Do you have to draw backwards on one side to make it show up correctly on the other or is the front of the rug the side facing you like in painting? Thanks! 😊
When you use the correct adhesive, they are safe to walk on! The only thing to worry about is them getting dirty. They can only be spot treated and cleaned like normal carpets are. No machine washing. And yes, you do have to draw the image backwards. I use a projector now, which makes it much easier!
Hey Aj any tips on not ripping the cloth with the gun? I’m a beginner and keep having this problem...either not enough yarn or not pulled tight enough I’m not sure...please help
I think it’s monks cloth. I think I made my frame to big though and it isn’t tight enough...for whatever reason it keeps ripping threw the lines I draw and the yarn keeps falling out smh 🤦🏾♂️
Cut pile cuts the yarn after every thread giving you a rug with cut ends where as a loop pile doesn't cut the yarn giving you loops on the face of your rug
💙💜💛💚❤ Hi, this video is complete and perfect! Your rugs are amazing! Can I use any king of wool? About, the needle: does it have to be replaced, once in a while? Thank you! ❤💚💛💜💙
Hi there! Thank you :) I haven't experimented a ton with different types of wool. I use 3-ply wool that is made for rugs. It is strong enough to withstand walking on it. Free to experiment though! It's fun to see the different textures you can get with different yarns. And regarding the needle, there isn't actually a proper needle. It's more like a nose. And it does not need to be replaced from what I understand.
Hi! I've been watching your videos for some time now and you have been so helpful in starting my tufting journey however, I was wondering if there was a spray or grease that you recommend using on our machine before we get started? Thank you!
I hired a local carpenter to do it. I'm certainly not woodworking-savy and I don't have many power tools-except my tufting gun of course :D Tim has a video of him building a large frame that I sent to my carpenter for reference th-cam.com/video/BqLW8IeSBKw/w-d-xo.html

Hey, could someone explain the difference between a cut and loop gun please? Thanks a bunch 💐
This seems incredibly fun. About how much does all the materials cost for a beginner?
400 I THINK
$950 for the gun, $75 for the yarn, $295 for the frame, $80 for the adhesive, $125 for the canvas fabric
@@eegw1199 the guns are just under $300. Especially from the sources mentioned in the video.

Are there any other fabrics that will work instead of monk’s cloth? Thanks☺️✨
Burlap will work, at half the price
i wanna start start tufting so bad but its so expensive! i hope i am able to buy a starter kit, sell my rugs and make all the money i spent back lol. very nice video thank u!!
I don’t use a tufting tool but I do punch needle rugs, can I use floor adhesive anyways?
I don't see why not!
This video was great thank u for great content! ☺️
Looking forward to the next project
They look great
How do you count how much yarn you'll need for your project?
do you use any sort of shears to finish the rug? as well as a tool to trim out the front to make the design more clean looking on the front?
what do you use to smooth the surface of the rug? can we use a regular hair clipper?
great video btw!
Your rugs are sooo good! Do you sell them and if so where would one purchase said rug?
Where's your new backing from? It looks bigger! Thanks!
Is there a video of how you attach the backing to the rug?
Yep-check out the finishing video on my channel
hello, I love youre videos. I have a question ,whats better a cut pile or loop??
Very helpful! Will you be posting more videos afterward showing everything together?
Can you make a video showing how to apply the backing
do you know what the difference is between the cut pile and the loop pile guns?
I have a question! How do you get your checkerboard edges to be so sharp? They look great
what other fabric is used to make rugs?

What's the frame for to hold steady when using the gun?
Do these rugs last long? I'm sore they do but I feel like alot of the ones I have seen are for wall hanging and they say they're not good in heavy traffic areas
For heavy traffic rugs, I recommend investing in rug wool. I have some acrylic rugs in my home that aren’t standing up well to foot traffic.
what do you prefer loop or cut
The backings are all sold out on the website. Is there any other place such as amazon, etc, that you can purchase?
Hi which type of tufting gun is in the video a loom or a cut?
What is the difference between a loop machincr and cut machine
Hey - is it profitable long term once all the textiles and glues are ordered for a a carpet ?
Thank you so much! I am highly interested in starting to Tuft. This video is extremely helpful. A new subscriber ❤️
Do you use a paint brush for the adhesive? Or a flat non bristled stirring brush? Also with the felt backings do you ever apply a nonslip coating?
Either works! And no, but I use a rubber-backed felt for small pieces
What other fabrics can u tuft with it does it have to be yarn ??
This was dope! Keep them vids coming!
I love your blouse too. Where did u get it? 😊
What size thread do you recommend
How would these be washed when needed? Thanks for sharing
I had a question.
Can you produce that on to a jean jacket?
Can you tuft on a jean jacket?
I don't know if they use the same technique but I've been seeing like these carpet pieces on t shirts and it looks bad but if they had added it to a jean jacket it would probably look real good
No, you can’t tuft into a a jean fabric. It’s to tight. You would have to sew the tufted piece onto the jacket
Hiiii!!
For these rug you used cut pile mashine or loop?
Thaaaanks

hi! hmm what kind of cloth are you using? I personally have not had this problem with the cloth from here tuftinggun.com/collections/tufting-cloth
tufting cloth is unique because it allows the gun to "puncture" the cloth without actually creating a hole or ripping it
I think it’s monks cloth. I think I made my frame to big though and it isn’t tight enough...for whatever reason it keeps ripping threw the lines I draw and the yarn keeps falling out smh 🤦🏾♂️
Does monks cloth work efficiently with the tufting gun?
Thank you for this video!
Thanks for the info!! Approx how much rug can you do with one spool? Please and thank you..🌻🐢
Do you put the rubber felt after you’re done punching the rug or do you glue it to the canvas and then sew over it ?
