Km km mmmmmmm no

Never in my life i thought I would wanna make a rug so much :3
I'm so glad to hear that! You should try it!
Same here
If this wasn’t such a specific niche you would have millions of followers! Never have I been thoroughly entertained and educated! Thank You!
Hey, thank you so much!! I appreciate it:)
I'm so excited to start making rugs. I've seen so many people do it, and it made something in my brain click. I'm gonna be buying everything this Wednesday 😁 thank you for this amazing video
How did it go? I’m excited to make one soon. I have to get all the supplies
@@sandrakay26 I haven't started yet sadly. 😅 Works been pretty hectic recently
I hope your rug business takes off!!
good luck!!
@@divigami8696 Did work slow down yet? Did you make a rug yet?
Dude, even though I knew what was coming at the end, the reveal was still amazing and impressive.
Thank you so much! :)
This was hella helpful. I just got my gun but was kind of unsure on the yarn feeding process, so your method of undoing and redoing is sick
Thanks for the comment Brandy!! I’m so glad to hear that it was helpful!! Let me know if you have any other questions! Also, I would love to see what you make! If you post it to Instagram or something you should send it to me! :)
Where did you get your gun if you don't mind me asking. Would also love to see what you create btw!
Where did you get your gun from? I see a lot online but they all have bad reviews and it's a lot of money to spend on something that might not work
You have no clue how happy this just made me. You make us other artists be so proud of you!
Wow! Thank you so much! You're making me blush :)
Anyone else find the sped up hammering satisfying to listen to?!?
Very much so😂
please continue w rug making vids - easily the best I’ve seen on the platform
Wow! Thank you so much!!☺️
Great job. Wonderful design. Excellent execution.
protip...or rather, tip from personal experience. USE GLOVES AND WEAR A MASK when working with spray adhesives like gorilla and locktite. The VOCs in those can cause legit nerve damage. I have only regained partial feeling in the middle fingertip on my right hand and that was after a project I completed in may....of 2020.
edit: in particular avoid any and all exposure (particularly skin and respiratory contact) to xylene compounds, trichloroethane, difluoroethane, and any resins in general. some resins will cause you to become allergic to them after only one exposure.
I'm not one of those youtube commenters trying to say " YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG, AHH!" some of this is common sense and best practices stuff but this is a particularly insidious risk, because not a lot of people actually know how hazardous fixatives and spray adhesives can be.
I knew they weren’t good but I didn’t know they were that bad! That is actually really good to know and will definitely be more safe next time👍🏼 thank you for the comment! I do think it’s important for people to know about stuff like this?
Wow this is scary... I hope your nerve function comes back. I got nerve damage in my leg for being too tall/big for my car. Its not fun.
YES!!! AND DO NOT EXPOSE ANY PETS OR CHILDREN! They have small sensitive lungs and nervoussystems this can cause early death to any dog, cat bunny or bird!
They are alot more sensitive to toxins like those! Serioisly the SINLGE part I hate about YT DIY videos is all the self taught Americans who entirely ignore the health and safety aspects of making art. It's MANDATORY measures at any actual college class, for very serious reasons. Dying for your art is NOT nessecary in our age!
Please be safe and considerate of viewers health. 🙏❤️ Lovely video!
I was also kinda wondering if these are similar to the machines they use to implant hair on bald guys?
the way youve broken done everything is so much less scary! been punch needling for a bit and moving on to tufting and this is giving me more hope as a new tufter!
Love to hear it!
Creator Please read..….
I want to give credit where its due! I want to acknowledge your creativity and the work making us the video to show us how to do this project, all this was extra work creating the video, thanks so much! People like you make this world a nicer place, plus this video helps me with my PSTD as i was a gang member from los angeles California during the 1990s. Best video on RUclips for this tutorial
Wow!! Thank you so so much!! I am honored to hear that!! Thank you so much for the comment! I am sorry I am just now seeing it! Thank you!
Best video on tufting I’ve watched. Super simple to follow and straight to the point. I’m confident I can buy a machine and do it right
Love to hear it!! Thank you!
I now want to go out and buy all the supplies and make my own rug !! Thank you 🙏🏻 really enjoyed watching and learning from you!!
You should! So glad to hear that!!
Wow! This was literally the most helpful video all in one that I have watched. I have been trying to tuft for four months now and it never turns out right! Turns out the scissors on my tufting gun are not closing at all, my fabric isn't right and I am only using one strand of yarn in my tufting gun.. Thank you so much for this video! Your rug looks amazing!
Thank you so much!!! I am so glad to hear that!! :)
Wow he literally answered all your problems love it ! Good luck
@@jaykid2095 I try! 😁
All the repair parts can be ordered quickly and cheaply from the factory in Shandong, China. They are very knowledgeable and helpful and can tell you what to anticipate as far as maintenance and even a few improvements! Thanks for a great video. That was a lot of fun and made me want to get a gun to make rugs for my grandkids and maybe try my hand at turning child’s crayon pictures into custom rugs for their room. I used to lay/repair carpet and there is a heavier pro gun that is not nearly so much fun to use. But at those shops you can find special carpet knap scissors that give perfectly level cuts when you find minor imperfections. Also, in the 70’s we used gunny sacks from the local feed store to make rug patches for professional carpet repairs. It holds up and stretches roughly the same as the jute backing on most carpets.
Cool! Super helpful. Very informative without being overly preachy. I hate when tutorials take forever to get to the point.
I loved the over-dubbed temper tantrum. Didn’t expect that Easter egg of fun. I was halfway through it before I realized what was happening. Had to rewind and start over. “SHOOOOOT!!”
Thank you so much! I’m glad you found it useful and enjoyable! 😂😂😂 I’m glad you liked that part, I knew it was stupid and silly but that’s how I like to do it sometimes lol
What a GREAT video!
Love love love 19:15 where you overdubbed, 😭 crying!!!! Many thanks!
hahaha glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
This has been the BEST most helpful video out there!! Everything that’s said is SO useful & so organized, I don’t know why I didn’t click on this video sooner. Thank you for elaborating but also still keeping it very simple. I’ve never watched a full RUclips video before but this went by like it was 5 minutes for me!!
Wow! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it!! :)
2023
Can you make a list of the machines and products you used please? Beautiful & clean work
Right i wish so as well
I have ADHD and it's hard for me to focus on videos when there is too much fluff and not enough information. This was perfect! I was able to watch the entire thing without fast forwarding through it and the information was great I can't wait to get started!
Me too!! So glad to hear it!!
Such a good teacher!! I recently fell in love with this process but I’m in Cameroon 🇨🇲 and it’s hard to get any of these equipments but thank you sooo much for this video ❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate that! thank you!
Im also looking to get started.if DHL operates in Cameroon I can help. Im based in Kenya, theres a shop that sells tufting guns here
As someone else said, this is the most educational video I have seen. Specially love the explanation of the workings of the gun.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!
Ok, so the "embroidery fabric" you were looking at is called Aida, and it was created & is used specifically for cross-stitch.
Hand-embroidery is traditionally done on linen (or any even-weave fabric). Traditional hooked rugs are also done on a variety of evenweave fabrics, including monk's cloth, linen, burlap, or rug warp. I assume a rug tufting gun would also work on those fabrics, typically at 12 or 13 thread count.
Just don't try to use *aida* for anything but cross-stitch. It's a weird, stiff fabric!
Couldn't agree more! I noticed a lot of online places were trying to pass this Aida as tufting machine fabric when it definitely is not lol!
Thanks you for the comment! :)
@Shop Last. I've been doing more rug hooking since posting this comment & learned some new stuff that made me think of what I said & worry if it was correct! Monk's cloth is similar to Aida in that it's a "basketweave" fabric, and Monk's cloth IS used for rugs! But looking at the video again, I'm still sure that was Aida. Monk's cloth looks similar, but wouldn't be so stiff. I think the one you called "Monk's cloth" in this video might have actually been "Rug Warp"? But I'm still not an expert on fabrics & every time I learn something new, I realize how many times I've been wrong! The white lines are a feature you'll see on Monk's cloth frequently, but it seemed to be single threads woven, instead of a 3x3 pattern like with monk's cloth and aida 🤔
I'm not sure if it's my fabric or the way my gun is setup but it just keeps SHREDDING the fabric. Love your rug!
It could be either. Are you sure you have tufting fabric like shown in the video? Or is it the tighter woven stuff?
This is literally the best tutorial I have ever watched on here about anything. Great job
It's amazing how crafting relaxes your body mind and spirit
Most of the time! lol
This is so cool! It makes sense now why rugs can be so expensive!
Right?!?! It’s crazy how much goes into it!
i’m just thinking about wood prices for the frame.
@@Xernvalt wood prices have gone up! It’s crazy!
PVC could work if you got it big enough but it might be too flexible to work well for this purpose:/
Explained it like a true pro. Thank you
This the best video ever I appreciate how you’re detailed about how each part of the gun works and how to adjust that was very educational, second the details about what to use and how I’m thankful I can start tufting now over watch numerous videos glad I stopped here keep up the awesome work and I love the plants!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad it was helpful:)
agreed.probably the most important video to watch on the subject
So helpful and well done. Very cool rug and very helpful video. Also the bit where you overdubbed was hilarious.
Great video! I don't put my yarn on cones either. There's times I can't find the middle yarn or it gets stuck and I have to use the outside yarn. I just put the yarn in a container as I pull it. I didn't have any paper clips so I used the metal ties that came in the packaging. The rug turned out great💜. You kitty is too cute
That’s awesome! Making it work, I respect that! And thank you, I think he is too😋
Can you please say what gun you used? Please
Im super impressed that you made the biggest rug possible in the tiniest workspace imaginable
Sometimes you just have to send it lol! Thank you for the appreciation!! haha
I love this rug man. It’s beautiful. I just got into this hobby and was doing my rugs by punch needle first my tufting gun gets here tomorrow and I’m stoked.
That’s awesome! Chris! I can’t imagine doing this by hand alone! That sounds like a ton of work!😅 Let me know how it goes! I’d love to see what you make!!
Hahahaha, at 14:41 when it just cuts to you lying down reclining, I can feel the tediousness. Informative, concise, and charismatic - great video!
hahaha! Thank you so much!!
Would love to make a piece that big, time to build a bigger frame 😎 turned out amazing!!
Go for it!! It’s a commitment! 😂
Finally someone who explains the yarn part ! 🙌🏽 Mines kept coming out of my gun it was so annoying
It’s the worst!! 😭😭😭 glad you watched, I appreciate it!:)
Omg this is really inspired me! M gonna buy a gun and projector😂
You should! It’s a lot of fun!:)
Not sure why this was a recommended video but it was so satisfying to watch. Super cool piece you made!
Ha thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it:)
I cannot wait to get started and hone the craft. Very inspiring and made the typical barriers to entry seem really attainable and less intimidating. Thank you for taking the time to make a great vid!
Thank you so much for leaving this nice comment! :) I would love to see what you make!
Thanks for this video it was really helpful coz I'm about to start this business wen I get back to ma country uganda 🇺🇬 pearl of Africa,,,this is the video I was looking for thanks
So glad to hear that!! Thank you so much!
Love your result! Very inspiring and now I am asking myself how much did this entire project cost? Gun and frame including .
BTW great channel!
Best regards from Berlin!
Put scrap foam along the tack strips to cover the stabby things. Easy to remove when you need to put the cloth up and then you can add it back after.
30 minutos muy bien invertidos en mi día! No tenía idea de lo entretenido que se ve hacer eso y hasta tengo ganas de hacer algo así en casa.
Muchas gracias!
This was one of the best tutorials I have seen out so far.
This is so nice! Although I have a really big frame, I have yet to brave a really but rug. I might try to make one. Also, I keep forgetting to mirror my image when I transfer it onto the fabric. Lol
I’ll let you in on a secret! I forgot to mirror mine too😂 and going big is a commitment, but I just did it for a few hours everyday and and that worked for me! :)
your a genius,the only thing that would make it better would be a closer view and different aways of transfering the design to the fabrics.great job mate
Thank you so much! And that is a great suggestion! Thank you!
This is the coolest things I have seen in a long time!!!! Thank you for this video, for the creative boost and for all of the details, hints and steps!!!! I'm a tad excited about the possibilities : )
Thank you so much! I'm so glad to hear that!! :)
This was the best informational video I may have ever seen on YT, for real.
Wow! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate it:)
You’re so talented! The carpet is gorgeous! I hope I can ask, how much time does something this size take to make by hand and how many rolls of yarn do you go through for a project this size? No doubt your cat loves the carpet! 💕 Awesome video!
Thank you so much! Of course you can ask! I'll always encourage questions on this channel! This rug took me probably 15 hours to do. That being said, I did it wrong for like 85% of it by only using one source of yarn at a time. I bet I could remake this rug in probably under 5 hours. I think I used a total of like 8-10 rolls of yarn for this one!
@@shop_last It’s a pretty moderately large carpet, so 15 hours might be nice! The first of any projects always takes a bit more time, no doubt, but who’s in a rush? It’s helpful knowing how much time it takes through a project this size, to see the end of the road, so we don’t give up midway & get discouraged thinking we’ll never finish it.
Stay Brave Tufters! 💪Keep on Tufting! 😊
@@shop_last Does the tufter advance itself like a sewing machine, putting the loops down evenly spaced, or are you advancing it entirely freehand?
@@WaffleStaffel it kind of advances itself but it does require a little bit of guidance on your part. It’s a little bit of both I’d say.
@@shop_last Thank you!
Thank you! I'm going to start tufting for fun. Can't wait.
WOW🤩👏🏼❤ I Loved watching you create your MASTERPIECE of an area rug! It’s absolutely stunning and I THANK YOU
for teaching all of us exactly how to do this! I will definitely try to make my own by starting small, of course and give it a whirl! 😁Looking forward to seeing you create some more awesome things! I enjoy learning new things and I’m so happy to have found and subscribed to your channel!
Wow!! Thank you so much, you are too kind!!:) I hope you do and I’d love to see what you make! Thank you for subscribing!😊
I felt like i was part of the process. Much love from South Africa 🇿🇦❤️❤️
This video was amazingly helpful, informative, and fun to watch. usually I always fast forward but I watched the whole thing! Thank you so much for taking the time out to make this for us. I've had my tufting kit in the box for months and I've been daunted to start. The only thing I don't have are the sheep shearshehehehrworchestershire's so I was wondering if clippers would work as I've seen in other videos? I also don't have those either LOL but they'd be way cheaper as I'm completely new to this.
anyways thank you again!!!!
Wow that you so much!! I’m glad the video was useful for you!:)
I think clippers can work, but they were much more difficult to use that the sheerers. But if the sheerers are going to be something that hold you back from making one I would say just use what ever you can get:)
First of all let me just say....THIS RUG LOOKS AMAZING! Its so mosaic and artistic in all the ways I am missing in my life right now. I wish you were my neighbor I would bug you all the time! Im officially inspired ! thank you soo much!!!!!
wow thank you so so much!! I really appreciate it!!
I LOVED this video! Thank you for making this so easy to understand and be excited about.
I’m so glad to hear it!! Thanks for the comment!
Such a helpful video mate! Got my rug gun coming this Friday and was a little nervous for diving right into it but now I feel I’m ready!! You’re the man!
Loved your voice over! lol
I’m glad you enjoyed it😂
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. NOBODY EVER EXPLAINS HOW TO DO IT. BTW YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL PLANTS.
You’re welcome! And thank you so much!:) they are my babies😋
Just make sure the 'Monks Cloth' you're buying is for tufting! Monks Cloth from a craft store (Michael's/Joann's) can be more rigid and more susceptible to ripping than true tufting fabric!
Very true! Thank you for clarifying that👍🏼
I did my first rug back in November. I was just looking at videos to find an easier way to feed your gun with yarn. Dude the same thing you said my soul dies I said the same thing doing my first rug
So glad that I could help you! Brutal realization lol!
Such a thorough and helpful video! Thanks so much for taking you’re time to explain everything ❤❤
Glad you found if useful! :)
Actually, I saw something about rugs on instagram and I have interest about that because I felt that isn't stress a lot hahahaah, I'd like to make one asap. I appreciate your explanation, it's so clear.
Glad you found it useful! Thank you!
I'm curious how well has the rug held up since you made it?
It has held up very well! They only this that's not perfect is having a cat that likes to tear it up lol! But i just use the sheerer's and clean it back up haha!
As I was watching you assemble the Frame I said to myself that would make a great room divider.
Totally!
This is so dope love your energy and this is so calming and inspiring to watch
Thank you so much! That is so kind of you to say!😊
This really help me out because yesterday actually making my first rug and it really didn’t go good it was to the point that I was a little discouraged to try again but with this video it gave me a little bit more willpower to try again:)
I love to hear it!! I believe in you!!
This is actually pretty amazing
Thank you so much!:))
Art 12:07 when the creator is explaining the difference between tufting fabric and embroidery fabric, he keeps saying "knit" but I believe he means weave. Knit is a type of interlocking stitch that gives a fabric stretch.
You don't want stretchy fabric for tufting. You want an open weave fabric that can accommodate the strands of yarn.
I absolutely loved this tutorial! Your home is gorgeous! I’m a proud plant owner also
Shame of me, I can’t follow all the steps. But, truly, you’re amazing!!!
It's a long video lol! But I believe in you!
nice big piece of work!!!!
may i know what is the material of the clothes?
I think it’s cotton? But it’s just called monks cloth 👍🏼
This is definitely the best tutorial video I’ve ever seen
Well done! Your rug is beautiful and I feel like I could do one myself!
You should try it! It’s a lot of when when you’re doing it right! Lol
I'm an 80 year old lady and I just don't know that I can handle the frame part. That's a bit overwhelming for me. But your video made it possible for me to know what's ahead and if I wanted to tackle it. Thank you very much
Great video, very educative content, just one question! How long did it take you to make this masterpiece?
It took me around 15 hours. But now that I know the right way I could probably do it in under 5.
Watched less than 60 sec and already grateful for this video and the series 🤗
Love to hear it! Thank you!!!
Thank you for showing people more of the medium, I wish everyone the best of luck 🤍
That is so kind of you! Thank you!
Great videos as always! Always inspiring me to learn a new skill! Great result too!
Thank you Andrew!! That is so kind of you! I’m glad you felt inspired! You should definitely give it a shot, it’s a lot of fun once you know how to do it right😂
Very soothing video to watch 🙏🏽
Thank you for this amazing video. I feel so much more confident to start my first project! One more question: What is the estimated amount of yarn per square meter? Is there any kind of calculation based on the yarn thickness? Thank you so much!
I love to hear it! I did not to that math honestly:/ but that would be good to know! Maybe ill do that for the next one!
Wow 🤩
Thank you very much for explaining it, from the beginning to the end, step by step, for the clarity, knowledge and patience, God bless you and your family 🙏
Incredibly talented and inspiring. I’m learning to sew and hope to learn this skill as well. Great channel ☀️💛
That’s great! And thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Beautiful you just made my day ❤️
This is the best explanation video so far, the video itself it’s making me wanna do it, it’s crazy
Amazing! gained tons of knowledge thank you very much. May I ask how long did this rug take to complete?
Thank you! I spent 15 hours on this one but now could probably do it in under 5 hours. Plus the glue dry times
I have to say this is the most helpful video so far on youtube, including the process and the materials. Really, im from VN and i dont even know how to call them in Vietnamese, but thanks to your video now i know it :)) Thanks a lot, your work is amazing!!
Thank you so much! So glad to hear that it was useful!!
Hi! I’m writing this hoping you still answer to comments! Your design was really cool and I REALLY liked the tutorial as a whole. Now I only have one question: on what site do you get your tufting fabric? This always seems to be my issue with tufting/punch needle. I can never find fabric that’s the right size for my frame!! So where do you buy it? Do you have a link? Thank you!!
Hayy😊 do you now what site tufting fabric or site?
So sorry this has taken me so long to get too! I get my fabric from Etsy usually. But now that the medium has gotten more popular I believe you can get it from amazon now as well.
@@shop_last Thank you!
Fantastic video so detailed espesialy about gun itself.Only I would glue back in different tehnique as stick backing first and then turn ages and cover with tape. In this way in more salable finish.
I agree! Appreciate the comment! :)
It's amazing! May I know what kind of fabric you use for the back of the rug?
It used cotton. But I only used that material because it had the rubber beads on it to keep it from slipping
Only on the explanation of the gun and im already grateful I found this video. really well explained so far :D
Thank you so much!:)
This is really awesome and helpful! I was thinking about getting into tufting myself and this is a huge help. Could you link the original art/artist? Super curious about it since the design is awesome.
Thank you so much!! I am so glad to hear that! I am the original artist☺️ I based the design off of a photo of a sculpture that I learned about in college:) I’d be happy to send it to you if you want to use it:)
@@shop_last That'd be awesome! ^_^ I imagine I'm not the only one who'd be interested in it tbh
Me too 🙌🙏🏻🖤
Compliments from Paris !
That's so cool! Thank you! :)
Very inspired from this video to try and make my own rugs, this piece is so damn awesome! Btw, what kind of fabric did you use, thank you. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much!! I appreciate the comment:)
I used monks cloth👍🏼
What a chill video to teach a skill that is making me SUPER NERVOUS to do🤣 I have a loop pile and cut pile gun combo. Soooo yeah that's a thing. Thank you for this video. I watched from beginning to end.
That is exactly why I made the video! :) I hope it gave you the information you needed to get started and conquer your nerves:)
@@shop_last Sure did! I'm currently on my first rug and no mistakes yet!!!🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!!
Your video is really inspiring and I would love to get involved in tufting rugs. In my country here is no such technology or materials for this art . Could you tell me exactly what time does it take to tuft one square? and which is the best yarn to use?
That's hard to say. Depends on the speed you're comfortable with.
Wool is better quality but acrylic is much cheaper
The rug looks amazing! Could you link me the picture that you used I wanna make one for myself! Thanks.
I designed this one myself:) but I’d be more than happy to send you the image if you want to reach out to me on Instagram! @shop_last. 👍🏼
@Abdalla, do you have the design?
This is the BEST rug tutorial ive seen!!!
Thank you so much!! I’m glad to hear that it was useful!:)
it was the voice over for me when shit was going bad truckers mouth lmao
😁
This looks like you had fun doing it. Glad it turned out so well.
It was a lot of fun! Thank you!
Well now I can fully appreciate why hand made rugs are so expensive.
Indeed!
