This was the case for me, so I made a simple pile-height adjustment to my loop pile gun and it's been working great ever since!

    Nothing personal, but that website and recommendations are 3-4x way over cost. You’re paying way too much. Actually, you’re being scammed imo. Those two guns are NOT different guns. You’re being sold a single part missing from the other that literally comes standard with all tufting guns. The piece is removable to choose between cut and loop etc. it’s a quick 30 second change. This website is charging you 4 times the cost of a single gun that does both by standard. SMH…. I feel like this is actually your website and grossly overpriced. And that fabric is NOT a high quality fabric…..

    Figured I’d share with you- as far as oiling the machine goes do NOT use sewing machine oil! You can actually shorten the life of your gun. Sewing machine oil is meant to make things sticky. It is made of minerals. You def want to use an oil that makes things slide. I use an oil frm amazon called “3 in one” oil. Sewing machine oil will make your machine gunky

    I used to watch sheep being sheared when I was young. Because sheep no longer have the ability to "shed" their wool seasonally, they were bred to retain all the wool, they have to be sheared. It looks kind of violent, and they're definitely not keen on the entire process, but leaving them unsheared is now dangerous to their wellbeing. I'm a little perplexed at the "unethical" methods you've mentioned, at least in Australia and New Zealand they employ tried and true methods safely. Any skin grazes caused by the sheep struggling while being sheared are treated before they're released after being shorn. A good shearer doesn't hurt them, but certainly has to hold them very firmly to avoid any unfortunate shallow cuts, but it's backbreaking work for the shearer and some sheep are particularly active. As someone who loves animals, my first concern when watching this process, live, for the first time, was "are they okay? does it hurt?" and apart from "shaving nicks" which happen occasionally, it isn't "unethical" and causes no lasting hurt or harm. Alpaca have to be actually trussed and tied, otherwise the shearer will get kicked to death, if the animal is uncooperative. Experienced shearers will ALWAYS have super sharp shears - which are just like knives; you'll cut yourself badly on a blunt knife because it will slip instead of cutting, and despite how disturbed the sheep look, they aren't being hurt usually.

    I was thinking that you would lay the gause directly on top of the rug back and then apply the glue. Would the liquid larex used for halloween sculpting would work. It is a LOT cheaper and non toxic. Good job. I looks very nice.

    Thanks the for helpful video! I have a question/problem regarding cut pile. My gun is not cut/severing the yarn all the way thru. Is it supposed to sever completely? It is mostly cut, but not all the way. I’m a beginner, I’ve pulled my fabric as tight as possible, and I’ve been applying hard pressure, but I can’t get the yarn to look right/stay in the fabric. They fall out very fast, and they’re slightly connected.
