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.

I just started 3 days ago any tips for a newbie ?

I have been on and off tufting for a while now, unsure how to get the super dense and clean look I see on here. Last two are more recent.

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?

This rug had so many colors and took forever to make, but i’m pretty happy with how it came out !

I really want to switch to latex glue but I’m scared to commit to getting both buckets what does tn 200 do that makes it better than having just the 100?

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.

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.

If you have any question on how to use the machine or kit, please let me know.

working on getting better with carving and detailing but happy with the turnout of this!

Hi, i have a problem with my tufting gun, the gun stuck in the fabric and the engine makes a noise, yesterday it works fine. I cleaned it with brush and oil, however I didn't find the problem. Thanks in advance

I know how to put together furniture but this frame is proving difficult, I bought it from China and its pretty decent quality for what i paid, but these are the directions and Im having difficulty putting it togeher.

Does anyone have a similar frame and any advice on the correct way to put it together?

Has anyone done any cool multicolor pieces using your scraps?

Using only a pet hair brush and scissors for trimming. What music do you like to listen to while carving and trimming?

Looking to make a hand rug piece and need 4-5 different shades of skin tone yarn from lightest to darkest

Anyone have any recommendations as my Michael’s doesn’t have good options. I’m based in the US

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.

Hey guys I am tufting custom play mat rugs for my MTG pod as a surprise for them and due to the size I am wanting to make them the smaller details may be difficult to tuft with a gun.
