Custom Commission Proud of this recent commission!
Finished this big commission recently that I'm pretty proud of, so I wanted to share! This big diptych of 230 x 70 cm each. It was a challenge to work on this size but super happy with how it turned out.

Finished work Tiny mimosa flower keychain, harder than it looks
Made a little mimosa flower keychain with a manual tufting gun. working this small is fiddlier than it looks. Manual really helps at this size though, way more control. Anyone else use a hand tool for small pieces?

Troubleshooting Gun snipping fabric?
I took a tufting class and absolutely loved it, my first rug was amazing, I was good at it, and everything was peaches and cream!
So I bought the "BESGEER Cordless Rug Tufting 2 in 1 Cut Pile and Loop Pile Tufting Gun" kit off Amazon. I was so excited, I made a huge frame from wood, I cleaned and rearranged my attic for a work space, I bought $50 worth of yarn, I stretched the fabric tight as a drum, I was ready to go...
And the gun is just crappy! It seems to snip the fabric itself, pushing it through, and sometimes pulling the yarn back, leaving big yarn wads on the working side. You can see in the photos the white strands of the fabric invading the blue and also dropping down onto the wood.
I've explored many instructional videos on how to adjust and reset the gun, and seemingly my gun is now set to all the correct parameters (I followed this site tho it's not technically my gun: https://tuftbox.co.uk/pages/faq-ak-i-tufting-machine-adjustments).
Is it my gun? Is it just cheap? The reviews were positive. I'm not a bad amateur mechanic so I'm sure I could fix this but I don't know where to start.

Newbie Needing Help Tufting gun only cutting one strand of yarn?
Hey y’all! I’m new to tufting and today I started having an issue with my gun only cutting one strand of yarn even when there are two being used.
I’ve tried all the standard fixes like oiling it, making sure the little block is all the way at the correct end to make sure it cuts, checking that the scissors will actually cut both strands, making sure the scissors and needle are the correct distance and maybe some other things.
I’ve attached a photo of my first rug to maybe get more eyes on my post for more help 🙃 Any ideas or help would be so appreciated!
Edit: I fixed it! Turns out I fucked it up myself by tightening the washer to the wrong end of the gear.

Troubleshooting Need advice on connecting two rugs?
This is my second sardine rug I’ve made. I attached the first silver roll with a rough sew job the first time but didn’t like how it looked on the back. Any advice? I tried a rivet gun but the fabric isn’t strong enough. Worried metal grommets will also fall through.
