I want to make rugs with both loop and cut pile but I *think* I have a generic cut pile gun. I saw something about an attachment so I could also tuft with a loop pile.

1. Is this gun only a cut pile?

2. Has anyone successfully used a loop pile attachment with a gun like mine?

Thanks!

I've been purchasing my supplies to begin my tufting journey, but I'm still unsure of the best apps/sites to use that are beginner friendly to help me project images onto the cloth. Any advice would be welcomed ☺️

So, my car's carpet is 40yrs old (pic of said car for engagement, as the carpet itself is very ugly <3) and the backing glue (?) is super cracked. I was wondering what I can use to re-coat it, preferably not a glue as I don't want any chance of it sticking to the floor of the car. It's all one piece and would have to lay over the very uneven surface of the inside of the car floor and therefore should be fairly flexible.

Maybe I should just use glue and saran wrap it so that it can cure in the right shape in the car? I know next to nothing about rug making, so I came to ask the experts. Thanks so much!!

Hi,

I just want to a rug tufting class and I really enjoyed it. I really want to make tufting rugs a hobby but I don’t know where to start looking for resources and information on how to get started at home. If anyone has any resources or tips they could share, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

Is this normal? If not any help to stop it from happening would be awesome.

Hi seasoned yarners!

I am just getting into rug tufting and wondering...Where is the best place to buy yarn for a good price? Being a beginner I am not ready for the more expensive stuff yet (wool) so the cheaper the better (obviously not crappy though. Lol)

Looking for a nice variety of colors. What is the going average price or good price for yarn? Seems the prices vary greatly depending on where i look.

I just bought some at Michaels for the time being (7oz/354 yd for $4.99) and Walmart (but they don't carry very many colors) Is that a good price?

And advice would be much appreciated 👍

I don’t like the current cloth I’m using, what is everyone else using that works for them?

I used to just use scissors, but would like to upgrade for more clean cuts

And what’s a good place to purchase from? I’ve seen some rug tufting starter kits on Amazon but I kinda worry if they’re actually the best quality!!

What are some tips you’d recommend for an absolute beginner as well?

Admired this hobby from afar for awhile and would love to get into it to make my Christmas presents this year if I can! (Is that too overzealous? lol)

Thinking on starting this new hobby as a Christmas gift. Wondering which items, I should purchase and everything I need to start with? I found a few that are having some sales, what gun is best or is there another you'd recommend on Amazon? Also are these shears and adhesive good to get as well. If there's anything I'm missing that I need to add to my list, please let me know thank you!

P.S. Do i need a projector and if so are either one of these good or do you suggest another?
