make a video on yarn feeding, different methods, best practices, supplies, how to wind yarn, where the feeder should be in relation to your frame, how to diy. etc
Thanks again for this informative video. I’m on my 3rd project and you have been like a tufting guru for my progress! Thanks for your generosity of time!
Virtual hug to you. You basically solved all of the problems I was experiencing. My gun beeping, never notice the speed knob, patched my hole with another piece of tufting fabric used hand tufting tool then cut the loop piles. This is my first rug using the gun. Thanks 😊
omg thank you for this video! I spent all day trying to figure out why my gun was making holes and fabric wasn't sticking...I was using monks cloth. thank you!
Thank you for all your videos. You have been a godsend. The only thing I would add this is what happens when your pressure isn't consistent or strong enough. It took me like two hours of troubleshooting figuring out why it was looking weird.
me, too. i'm using this time to get everything ready. today i splurged and got some sewing machine oil from jo-ann's ($7.99), knowing WD-40 would probably be just as good. i also got four yards of black burlap ($3.99/yd.) to practice on, but if i can get away with using that i will. i get that tufting cloth is probably great to use, but it's just really hard to justify like 7x the price which has to be passed on to the customer if i don't have to. there's a ton of things to do if you plan on selling rugs, and no one goes in depth about shipping at all. if you have stuff to do in a day like i do, these things just don't magically happen like it seems in videos. i'd tell anyone to give themselves about two weeks of prep time.
Your videos are always super helpful!!! Can you do a video of tips on how you hang up big rugs on the wall? And some more tips on backing? Thanks!❤ happy tufting!
The most informative and spectacular video i've seen. Appreciate you sharing the tufting light✨ Hilarious too with the 'Dramatic Reenactment' portion, did enjoy a good belly laugh there. These videos and your guidance are a treasure. Thanks for everything⚡
Hey I was wondering if you’ve ever experienced loop pile gun not being able to travel up the fabric? I’m not entirely sure what’s wrong but perhaps the needle doesn’t retract back far enough for it to jump to another hole in fabric? Thanks 😬🤞🏼
I think what you show as Monk's Cloth vs Tufting Fabric is slightly in error. As as punch needler, I faced this same problem in the beginning. I think what you have in your frame is Monk's cloth and what you hold up to show as Monk's cloth is actually Aida cloth for needlepoint. There is a common misconception in craft stores that Aida cloth is Monk's cloth and may sell you that in place of true Monk's cloth.
Thank you so much. I have holes, especially on round parts. Now I will look at needle point direction. Also big loops happening quite often, I will follow your instructions. But if hole happen at the end of tufting how can I fix it?
Thanks the for helpful video! I have a question/problem regarding cut pile. My gun is not cut/severing the yarn all the way thru. Is it supposed to sever completely? It is mostly cut, but not all the way. I’m a beginner, I’ve pulled my fabric as tight as possible, and I’ve been applying hard pressure, but I can’t get the yarn to look right/stay in the fabric. They fall out very fast, and they’re slightly connected.
Great video! Learned a lot but I still have one question, my fabric got increasingly loose, I already applied the glue but I still have a lot of space in the same fabric for other pieces, can I stretch it again even with the glue?
thanks for the video! the link to adjust the issue with the cut pile not cutting is private for me though if you could change the settings would super appreciate it
This video was amazing thank you so so much! I have 3 questions I would love for you to help a girly out with 🥲 1. How in the heck do you “aim” the guns needle to make the fabric go where you want it too when doing more intricate details!? I swear I try to “eye aim” I’ll call it, in between the middle of the guide nose of the gun but still when going side to side it’s so hard to get it straight most of the time. Especially on bends of designs! (Okay sorry that was a super long question) lmao 2. Can you go through using one strand of yarn vs. two?! Like examples of when you would use them in certain situations/what they work & look better for! 3. How do people make such smooth looking circles or shapes with their guns!?!? I always seem to have “sharper” parts when trying to do some details. I hope these freaking make sense I’m sorry if they’re confusing questions but this girl needs to finally find a video of someone getting into the details of this! I want to be able to be very DETAILED and know how others do such a good job with it. Especially text on rugs. CRAY CRAY. Anyways, you are amazing and I hope you see this comment and make another video! I LOVE the way you explain things, explain more with text below, your voice and personality. That was really helpful and enjoyable to learn from you! 🩵🦋
hey there thanks for the tips, just the CUT PILE ISN'T CUTTING | demo to fix, it private, you know where i can see that video?? im having exactly that problem :(
The link in the description to show how to fix the cutting says it's private, are there any other demos you know of? I don't know how to fix my cut pile gun not cutting. My gun is brand new, I'm doing my first rug
Hey do you have a suggestion to where I could send or how I could fix my gun? The issue is that one day I was tufting with my gun and it just stopped working and the only way that I could get back working was by hold the cord by bending it as I tuft which was very annoying 😕 so now I feel like its a wire issue. So have you ever heard of this happening and how can I fix the gun? THX
Do you push the trigger only when the needle went to the other side of the cloth and the foot touches the fabric? My cloth(which is not primary tufting cloth) gets ripped when I push the needle in for the first time and when I take it out
Hello good day,😊 can u tell me how long of a time frame. It takes to get your tufting gun. I ordered mine on the 25 june and still to this date. Its not been shipped out
Hi, your videos are great and I’m looking forward to getting into tufting! I am really close to ordering my tufting kit but I would like to know in advance if the tufting fabric needs replacing after use? I feel like I’m going to make many mistakes so would like to prepare for them :/
Thank you for this Video! I am really frustrated at the Moment, thinking a Lot about giving Up the Project, but it's all a Matter of practicing more. My biggest Problem is actually the gun itself. Very often the scissors leave their Position causing in a beeping gun. I'm Not Sure how to fix that. Maybe tighten the screw? I can't Contact the selling company anymore, they are gone... Does anyone also has those issues?
re:monkscloth, actually i think you have it a bit backwards. it's not that the monkscloth won't 'budge', if you notice the monkscloth 'threads' are wider and when using a manual rug tool they 'compress' making a much bigger hole. the issue is that the tufting gun is to aggressive and not as accurate and instead of going between the threads and into a hole it's trying to push it's way 'through' the threads and cuts them. if you want to use monkscloth you'd be better off using a manual tool, or different cloth with the gun. hope this helps.
I love you and ur Tutorial. U make it easy for me to learn. Thanks for u code made my first purchase of tufting gun. Can u plz tell where i can get yarn from a trusted source away from tuff word ... I notice there are not alot of options.. What size yarn novice to purchase
I know you may not see this in time but Please Help! My gun keeps cutting off and I really need to get these rugs made by tomorrow, I don’t know what to do and I’m freaking out. What could be the issue? Every time I start to use it the light just dims out. It has never done it before and it now decides to do it when I need it the most. Please help
My fabric becomes loose and sagging the longer I am tufting. I pull it as tight as I possibly can, too. I take a good 45 minutes to make sure it is straight. I am very new (2 rugs finished) so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. My first rug was using Tuft The World's tufting fabric that came with my cut pile kit. My second rug was just cheap monks cloth to save my good stuff until I get better. They both got pretty saggy and loose, especially in the middle. Any suggestions?
I sometimes need to pull my fabric after tufting. It’s normal for it to get a little loose over time. But you can tighten it as long as you’re doing it evenly around the border (so you don’t make the lines you’ve made crooked). I’d also be curious to see if your frame is set up properly. You want to make sure the teeth of the edge is sticking outward so it holds the fabric tight. Feel free to dm me on IG if you’re still having trouble!
Cakes can probably work fine as long as the yarn comes off it easily (and doesn’t get caught on anything). A good way to test is to pull the yarn directly up off the cake and see if it pulls smoothly.
Hi, my yarn is stuck in the gears of my gun and I don’t know how to get it out. How did you? Did you have to take the gun apart? I can’t find videos on this
In the past, I've used tweezers, scissors, and a lot of patience to get it out 😣 Once you have it all out, try feeding your yarn from the left side of your machine. I do this now and it never gets stuck in the gears.
I bought my cut pile from Etsy which looks very identical but the slowest speed definitely seems quicker than yours at your slowest speed. Wish I could find a way to get it slower so I can work at my speed :/
I’m glad I came to this video bc I was wondering why my gun wouldn’t go through the fabric no matter how hard I tried pushing my gun into it. It just kept putting hole in my fabric😓
I have been facing a problem with my cutting pile gun it’s not cutting the wool :( and I tried everything I sharpened my scissor and adjusted the metal thing and still
I just got my gun and when I feed it threw it really tight going threw it and then when I punch it into the mesh it’s like the fabric is cutting on both sides and not even looping like it’s supposed to please help
please make a vid showing how u made your yarn feeding system !
Where can I buy a tufting machine in Zambia?
make a video on yarn feeding, different methods, best practices, supplies, how to wind yarn, where the feeder should be in relation to your frame, how to diy. etc
These videos are so chill, they're perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon!
agreed lmao haha
literally i been doing this all day long
Thanks again for this informative video. I’m on my 3rd project and you have been like a tufting guru for my progress! Thanks for your generosity of time!
Virtual hug to you. You basically solved all of the problems I was experiencing. My gun beeping, never notice the speed knob, patched my hole with another piece of tufting fabric used hand tufting tool then cut the loop piles. This is my first rug using the gun. Thanks 😊
how do you patch another piece of tufting cloth. It is fraing all around
Day one using my tufting gun and I was getting a little frustrated... After watching your video, it's going much better. Thank you!
Thank you so much for that pep talk in the beginning. I really, really needed that 😭💕
omg thank you for this video! I spent all day trying to figure out why my gun was making holes and fabric wasn't sticking...I was using monks cloth.
thank you!
Glad it helped!! 💕

Thank you for all your videos. You have been a godsend. The only thing I would add this is what happens when your pressure isn't consistent or strong enough. It took me like two hours of troubleshooting figuring out why it was looking weird.
Used your code a couple months ago now waiting for my rug to come in this April
me, too. i'm using this time to get everything ready. today i splurged and got some sewing machine oil from jo-ann's ($7.99), knowing WD-40 would probably be just as good. i also got four yards of black burlap ($3.99/yd.) to practice on, but if i can get away with using that i will. i get that tufting cloth is probably great to use, but it's just really hard to justify like 7x the price which has to be passed on to the customer if i don't have to.

Do you push the trigger only when the needle went to the other side of the cloth and the foot touches the fabric? My cloth(which is not primary tufting cloth) gets ripped when I push the needle in for the first time and when I take it out
Hi. Would the yarn pile come off when pulled or are they knotted at the back?
that deep breath .... I felt that :P
Hello good day,😊 can u tell me how long of a time frame. It takes to get your tufting gun.
I ordered mine on the 25 june and still to this date. Its not been shipped out
I want to tuft on a hard carpet[2-4mm thickness]. Which machine should I use for it???
Hey, thanks for this but I can't seem to find the solution to the problem you listed last- the scissors not cutting and leaving loops :(
Hi, your videos are great and I’m looking forward to getting into tufting!
I am really close to ordering my tufting kit but I would like to know in advance if the tufting fabric needs replacing after use?
I feel like I’m going to make many mistakes so would like to prepare for them :/
It depends on your use. If there are a lot of holes, it may be easier to replace. But small holes can be worked around
Thank you for this Video! I am really frustrated at the Moment, thinking a Lot about giving Up the Project, but it's all a Matter of practicing more.
My biggest Problem is actually the gun itself. Very often the scissors leave their Position causing in a beeping gun. I'm Not Sure how to fix that. Maybe tighten the screw? I can't Contact the selling company anymore, they are gone...

I use monks cloth with my gun and have no issues at all when tufting.
Hey! I just got my gun from Tuft the World and it’s not working. The red light comes on but it’s not moving. Can you help with that?

Thank you! These videos are super helpful ☺️.
Curious as to why the "cut pile won't cut" video is private?
thank u for making this i'm sure you were getting asked these questions so much haha
The amount of pics I get sent to me of new tufters cloth shredded hurts my heart 💔 so hopefully this helps!
Hi what do I do if I’m tufting and my cloth starts getting loose? Is it a good idea to reattach it or will it mess my perfectly drawn image?
You are awesome, thanks for all your videos 🙏 greetings from Germany
Can you see together leftover tufting fabric so that it fits your frame?
My tufting gun is only not putting holes into my cloth when I'm moving in the downward motion. How can this be fixed?
Which gun do you recommend

Hi! Love your videos what fun did you buy? Need to buy one!
Gun**
Loved also the take a deep breath -talk 🌻😻
I'm 56 years old and I'm from Italy. Do you think I'm too old to start this art? Just for myself, my dog and maybe one or 2 close friends?
What the heck does your age have to do with a very passive hobby?
The cutpile not cutting video is private can you make a demo video please
Thank youuuu. Great video!!
Im having trouble with the backing not necessarily ripping but cut up and it shows in the design. So, then I have to cut/pluck each piece out.
Where did you get your turfing cloth?
Hi can you please help me how I will be able to get that gun and the rug, please, I am located in Kenya
Love ur vibes and the tutorial !
That shirt is fire!
I love you !!!! thank you for making so much quality content !!!!

Do you think cones are absolutely needed? Or can I just lay the yarn cakes down?

@@AJMAKES137 that helps, thank you! 💞
Does dull scissors make yarn pop out. My yarn keep popping out
It just feels like it goes so fast. How do you do outlines so well?
Thank you so much this was soooo helpful!
thank you so much❤️ this video was so helpful 🥺
Best video I found thank you
I bought my cut pile from Etsy which looks very identical but the slowest speed definitely seems quicker than yours at your slowest speed. Wish I could find a way to get it slower so I can work at my speed :/
amazing u answered all my questions thank u!
I’m glad I came to this video bc I was wondering why my gun wouldn’t go through the fabric no matter how hard I tried pushing my gun into it. It just kept putting hole in my fabric😓
I needed this video. I think my issue was not having the fabric tight enough.
I was gonna buy the monks cloth but it said we don’t offer shipping to Texas☹️
I have been facing a problem with my cutting pile gun it’s not cutting the wool :( and I tried everything I sharpened my scissor and adjusted the metal thing and still
I just got my gun and when I feed it threw it really tight going threw it and then when I punch it into the mesh it’s like the fabric is cutting on both sides and not even looping like it’s supposed to please help
How will my design be affected if my cloth is stretched slightly uneven?
The video to fix the cut pile is no longer available! Any way you can help or make a video?
these are all great tips! and I absolutely love how organized your peg board is for your gun/yarn, I need to do that
