Great video. I think what you are looking to learn is called: welting or cording. I have watched videos on making your own welting for upholstery. I also wonder if you would not need to use the backing glue when you are doing pillows. I do rug hooking (by hand) and the loop pile keeps everything in without using a backing. Just an idea.
You’re a legend and the reason I wanted to start tufting. My family got me the duo for my birthday by accident. I had asked for the cut pile. Happy accident, however, I am having trouble with the lowest pile? Have you worked much with the low pile on cut or loop? My scissors don’t fully cut the yarn on cut and I can’t get the settings perfected for loop either. If you end up making a video on tips and tricks for the duo that would be super clutch.
A great tip is to have a mirror ,i have in my studio ,,but i do mirror writing so i can see it clear as day but put a mirror too it once you have drawn it ,then it should look superb and i put a mirror to yours and looks quality my darling :) i have the same gun :)
I was just about to make my first tufted pillow and a new AJ video on the subject pops up : what a blessing ! I was wondering, is there a reason you cleaned up the letters after it was sewn and filled, and not before ? Bisou xoxo
I’m struggling when it comes to maneuvering side to side and diagonally.. do you have any tips? I have all the recommended products including the fabric and it’s pulled tight. I’m willing to try anything lol
What are you using now that you’re not using the Roberts? I’ve made one rug I used some stuff from lowes called Mapei, it okay but I also don’t know. I really liked the rug you made with the net backing that was so nice. Edit: sorry I see you made a video on it so I’ll watch that thank you 😊
You could get a piped edge by using a couching stitch. I would personally grab some of that felted pencil roving yarn and couch it directly over the whip stitches you've already done. Should look amazing.
Hi there, I’ve been watching your videos to help me get started on tufting and it’s been super helpful, thank you for that. I wanted to ask if you have materials for sale on amazon? I saw your rugs and even a sc of you working in a video on the sellers post, and wasn’t sure if someone was using you to sell their product. I have a screenshot of the post but not sure where to post it

Glad this ended up being a duo review for me

What do you plan to use instead of the 3095? I'm just starting out and if there is something better please let me know. Thanks

How cool! And no reason in particular. I think you could do either before or after :)

yay ! aj's back !
i've been saving yarn scraps for future pillows too !
a weighted pillow sounds amazing
I think they use tubing for that look. I also think it would work with what you did, maybe they also have diff thickness in tubing. :)
What are you using now that you’re not using the Roberts? I’ve made one rug I used some stuff from lowes called Mapei, it okay but I also don’t know. I really liked the rug you made with the net backing that was so nice.

Hey AJ they use an upholstery piping trim for that edge you’re looking for.
Your channel is amazing please more videos.
Is that an embroidery thread you’re using to hand stitch the two sides of the pillow together?
Whats the diffrence between using 1 string vs 2 strings in the tufting gun
I love these videos ur awesome at explaining things.
You're amazing 🤩
Me encantas!!!! de verdad me inspiras demasiado!!!!

Soooo, how's the Duo going, is it your everyday machine now?
@ajmakes Just wondering how you would care for an item like this? Would you wash it?

Isn’t tuft the world like a terrible company to their poc/trans workers?
