– The Tufting Guide –
USEFUL TIPS & TRICKS
If you’re looking to improve your knowledge of tufting, or just starting out this tufting guide has everything you need. Throughout our time creating and teaching people how to tuft we discovered a few top tips and tricks to get you tufting like a pro. As creatives we know reading a white sheet of paper can be very draining. Unlike other tufting guides we made our creative, fun and engaging with imagery, colours and illustrations. This guide is a downloadable PDF so you can learn and practice as soon as you have purchased.
In this guide we cover:
- Machine maintenance to keep your machine healthy for longer.
- Types of yarn and how much you will need for your rug.
- How to thread up your machine.
- A whole bunch of top tips to help you get a full, even and fluffy tuft without any tears.
- Some easy sample designs to practice with.
- How to back and finish your rug with a list of materials needed.
If you’re looking to purchase a whole tufting set up we provide an all in one tufting kit which includes a Table top frame, 1 metre of quality tufting cloth, 10 balls of yarn, clamps, an AK-1 cut pile tufting machine and this tufting guide.
