this was SO helpful for a beginner like me. i have brain damage that impacts my cognitive learning, and tutorials that aren't super visual and don't explain every little detail are really hard to understand for me. this is maybe the 5th video i've watched on it and i finally understand how this process works!! thank you, tufting looks really fun and i think it'd be a great evolution for my artwork.
So right Dakato... All the videos forget to tell you major details. Have you heard "20 years in the Dakotas" by Hole? One of my all time favorite songs.
I can appreciate that. I was in a climbing accident with several small splinters of granite that broke off inside my temporal lobe. I learned to write again but my speech is not as good…and the headaches… I have so much trouble learning and relearning. I feel like a five year old in a college class for the simplest things. I saw these guns on Alibaba and thought I would check it out. The idea of making customer rugs for kids rooms that they design with crayon and paper…seems like a terrific way to pass my time…now that ‘they’ don’t trust me in the medical field anymore…life changes. We learn to cope.
9:48 The phenomenon that AJ Makes is talking about here is known as “metamerism” in the field of color theory. This is something more typically seen in neutral & near white colors. Two materials may appear to match under one type of light but not under a different light (sunlight vs. fluorescent for instance) due to the way the light refracts. In this case, the cut ends of the yarn seem to absorb some light causing it to appear dingy compared to the looped yarn which is reflecting more of the light causing it to be a lighter, cleaner color (think of the difference between a pile of glitter vs a sheet of metallic Mylar: the sheet of material will appear evenly shiney where only some of the glitter fragments will appear shiney as others will be angled in ways that don’t successfully reflect as much light & therefore look dark compared to their neighbors). It’s highly applicable in textiles as different fibers will also present this issue (for instance if you want to match white wool to white nylon: the natural wool will never be a bleached white, so to match the color, the nylon would actually have to be colored somewhat yellow and checked under different types of light. If you simply bought two materials labeled “white” the nylon will inevitably be whiter and brighter than the wool.
I thank you for your videos. I just ordered mine and some other things and got $76 off using your code!! I’m a single mom, I just lost my job. I was looking at doing this for months but was fearful but I jumped out there, put my credit card info in and hit pay(my eyes was closed) 😂. But seriously I prayed and I’m trusting. I’m so excited to tell the kids about the new business!! I can’t wait to get my items. Sorry for the long story, but I’m super excited about my new endeavor. Thanks again
Hey Guys I got my Gun!!!!!! They say it ain’t no fun when the rabbit gets the gun.😂😂 I have my business name also. I’m so excited!!! I’ll send update on my first rug!! Thanks again for your help
You are going to be fabulously successful! Your faith and determination will take you far. Please don’t not be too discouraged by the inevitable setbacks that may come. Based on your words, I am sure that you will allow nothing to stand in your way. Congratulations on your upcoming successful journey!☺️
As someone who’s merely an interior design student trying to get a visual to understand how tufting for carpeting and flooring works, this was extremely helpful! :)
You're amazing, thank you so much! No one has show the difference of a cut pile and loop pile tuft gun as well as you! You've saved me a lot of researching.
I’ve been looking into adding tufting as a hobby along with including it in my artwork. This was extremely helpful. Such great advice! Definitely going to get a cut style vs the loop.
I ended up getting the loop pile because it was the only one available but u can get the cutpile look just changing the heigth of the loop and shearing it after the glue, its more work but it works 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I thought I had to go with the loop gun when I first started but after this I'm glad I'm considering the cut pile gun over the loop gun! the look, price, and what I have in mind seems like the cut pile gun will be a lot better than a loop gun. at least starting off. thanks!
I just ordered a cut pile gun and am so excited to make rugs! I went all in after also discovering punch needle and tried that out and loved it! I figured I can get the cut pile and when I want to make loop pile like rugs I’ll just do punch needle!
I'm super stoked with this video, thanks so much. I've decided to give tufting and punch needle a crack, I've been trying to figure out whether to get a loop or a cut, this video helped a lot.
I just ordered a 2 in 1 tufting gun off amazon. I hope it works just as well. Also Ive watched a few of your videos but I will be watching lots more as I begin my journey. I love the way you demonstrate and explain everything down to the the T’ ✨ appreciate you!
I use a punch needle to make loop pile rugs so I'll probably get a cut pile gun, so I can do both kinds! :D I really only ever consider the finished product honestly, I'm fine with my needle taking forever lol
I have a loop pile gun and love it. I just keep a tiny pair of scissors on a ball chain necklace around my neck. It helps. I deff need a cut pile gun too, though. Looks so fun.
@@kalorhasenkamp2554 yes, I’ve completely fallen in love with my cut pile gun!!! I have yet to try loop pile, but I’ve made tons and tons of beautiful cut pile rugs!
Sorry if someone has asked this, but are you able to shear a loop pile rug (like in your finishing videos)? It seems like this would essentially turn a loop pile rug into a cut pile rug, but maybe the shearing isn't as even as I'd expect and instead you'd end up with some mottled-looking finish? Thank you!!
hi there! Your video was so helpful! I ordered mine from Tufting world and it comes in today. I did however have a question and the internet was too helpful… I got Loop pile instead of cut, but if I shave my rugs will that give them the shaggy cut pile look? Or will it make me project fall apart and unravel?
You’re pretty fantastic. AND very pretty. Great tutorial. Absolutely nothing was left out. No wonder you’ve gained so many subscribers in just 10 months💖
Hello! i love your work and I have a Small little question about tufting! How much wool (in meter) do you need for a rug ?hum for exemple a 1x1m rug and using a cut pile gun ? Thank youu ☺️
Its soo helpful but what should I use if I wanted to make a rug mirror ? Because I am so confused I saw some people used a loop pile and some use cut pile
It’s really a manner of preference I think, as the main difference in the finished product will be the appearance of the finished surface (the bumpy texture of looped pile vs. the fluffy texture of the cut pile). The loop finish is similar to “Berber” type carpet pile whereas the cut is more like regular carpet pile. Hope that helps
Hey AJ I spin my own yarn. Do you know how it might handle hand spun yarn when it comes to these guns. I make my yarn on the big and small side. I would be very interested in the cut pile. But I don't know how it will handle my wool?
That's awesome! I don't see why it wouldn't work. The only time it gets funky is when the yarn is too thick or too thin. But if it's too thin, you can use two strings at once and that usually solves the problem
Loved this video! I’ve been doing punch needle an love the tight neat look it makes and I like the shaggy look the cut pile gun makes. I’m wanting to order a gun and thought I would get the gun that does both style. It’s the weight that has me question it though😄. Money wise it seems more practical to get the 2 in one
I ordered a cut pile gun but they sent me a loop pile, i have done several rugs with it and i will tell you that having to snip the yarn after every line sucks.
I like this question! It’s probably pretty similar... but cut pile uses more because you can’t reuse the yarn once it’s cut. With the loop pile, if you make a line and want to take it out (and haven’t cut the yarn yet) you can just pull the yarn out and use it again. So from that perspective - loop pile is less wasteful!
I would love to get started but how much was everything in total to the tools the yarn the background drop And how long did it took you to learn the techniques?
Hello, thanks for the information. I want to get started in this beautiful job of making rugs, I want to ask you where I can get the gun and if the adjusters are sold separately or is it a gun for each needle, that is, cut pile or loop pile. What do you recommend to start me? thanks for your time. I am from mexico
Hey I’ve been looking at buying my first tufting gun, and from what I’ve seen the cut pile is more for me, however I’ve seen that there are 2 in 1 tufting guns and for some reason are cheaper, is that because they aren’t as good ?
Query, with the loop-pile gun, just like the cut-pile, is it necessary to shave the carpet at the end to give it a better finish or would it not be necessary with the loop-pile?
do you get your white yarn from tufttheworld? it seems to be off white on the site but appears pretty true white in your vids. I'm deciding if I want to look elsewhere for white because off whites bug me so much lol. thanks!
My mom asked me what my husband I wanted for Christmas. Every year i say just worry about the kids. Or if you really want to things for my house. So the last 3 years. She has bought me stuff to build my craft room. As in i like to do everything. So she has bought embroidery machine, vinyl machine, then the last a press. So this year she already told me which is gonna be a tufting gun. She already got it in the mail. Now I see this video and didnt realize there were 2 different kinds. So now i have to check incase so we can send it back. Anyways. I love crocheting and have a good bit kf yarn. Someone gave me 2 bags full of vintage yarns.

I watched a video of someone talling about their finger going numb for a little while (hers lasted 3 days), is that a common thing for people who tuft? If you've ever experienced that, how did you combat it?

That's such a great IDEA I've been struggling this whole time ~__~
I'm about to receive my cut pile and this was the perfect refresher that I needed! Thank you!
Are you waiting till April too?
I love the look of the loop pile...reminds me of old-fashioned rug hooking.
I got the cut pile gun- I’m making my first rug this week ❤
I'm a new sub..trying to figure out what I all need to start making rugs..cuz this is cool

How much wool (in meter) do you need for a rug ?hum for exemple a 1x1m rug and using a cut pile gun ? Thank youu ☺️
Missing this info also. I assume it depends on the thickness of the yarn but some median indication would be really helpful.
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you!
Hi AJ I have a big question please, what kind of fabric is the one you are using in this video?
Thanks for this! Can you adjust the pile height for both types? How much?

I have a 2n1 tuft gun (cut and loop pile). Do you know how to switch from loop to cut pile?
Try leaving 3 strings between each pass row an 6 loops pr inch think ul like the difrence
Hello, thanks for the information. I want to get started in this beautiful job of making rugs, I want to ask you where I can get the gun and if the adjusters are sold separately or is it a gun for each needle, that is, cut pile or loop pile.

Get the cut pile, I make the mistake of getting a loop and it sucks having to cut threads
Can you just trim the loops with an electric trimmer of some sort to make it look like a cut style, or will it not come out well?
i think the loop pile is best for detailed works
Hey I’ve been looking at buying my first tufting gun, and from what I’ve seen the cut pile is more for me, however I’ve seen that there are 2 in 1 tufting guns and for some reason are cheaper, is that because they aren’t as good ?

i’m in love! love your content, really showed me (simply) how to get started !
i loved this!! i started with punch needle so i love the looped look so i got the loop pile gun! this video was so helpful, i really wanna get both
Hey Amy! I’ve really been enjoying your videos and can’t believe I ended up here too
I’m glad it was helpful!! I’ve watched one of your punch needle videos and I’m stoked to see what you create with your tufting gun 😊
thank you!!!! so helpful

Query, with the loop-pile gun, just like the cut-pile, is it necessary to shave the carpet at the end to give it a better finish or would it not be necessary with the loop-pile?
Would you suggest the cut like one for a maker space?
Hello, I wanted to know where I can buy a Tufting gun cut pile 💖 I'm from Argentina and here it's sold in very few places and very expensive 😅
do you get your white yarn from tufttheworld? it seems to be off white on the site but appears pretty true white in your vids. I'm deciding if I want to look elsewhere for white because off whites bug me so much lol. thanks!
Yes, it’s the Ecru from Tuft the World. It’s off white/warm white. Definitely not bright white.
where can I find that wall you use to hang your yarn?
Have you done a review of the V2 (shorter pile) and V3 (longer pile) machines?
Thank you for a very informative video.
This was an awsome qnd soo informative
This is what I needed
have you ever used the pink model that does both cut and loop?
Very informative!
Where is the link for the adjustment
My mom asked me what my husband I wanted for Christmas. Every year i say just worry about the kids. Or if you really want to things for my house. So the last 3 years. She has bought me stuff to build my craft room. As in i like to do everything. So she has bought embroidery machine, vinyl machine, then the last a press. So this year she already told me which is gonna be a tufting gun. She already got it in the mail. Now I see this video and didnt realize there were 2 different kinds. So now i have to check incase so we can send it back. Anyways. I love crocheting and have a good bit kf yarn. Someone gave me 2 bags full of vintage yarns. And I was going to give them to the nursing homes. But now I think I'll give half and keep half. Loll so does it matter what yarn is being used. I see lots of people using crochet acrylic yarn.
I watched a video of someone talling about their finger going numb for a little while (hers lasted 3 days), is that a common thing for people who tuft? If you've ever experienced that, how did you combat it?
I just used your code. Thank you very much!
This is so helpful thank you
So can we change the length of the yarn that will be cut?
If you are using #4 medium yarn, do you recommend using 2 strands of yarn?
Hi! Can you trim them both with a trimmer machine?
