Tufting a Rug (MY PROCESS)
Vložit

- Today I use my cut pile tufting gun to tuft a 2ft square rug start to finish!
In this video, I show you how I:
00:00 Intro
00:23 Primary Fabric/Stretch the Frame
01:20 Develop A Plan
02:11 Tuft
04:37 Adhesive
05:27 Waterfall Binding
07:30 Backing
08:19 FINISHED!
This was my first time doing a waterfall binding on one of my tufted rugs. Usually, I whip stitch an edge around the entire rug, which, looks great and feels great, but it takes SO LONG.
This waterfall binding technique got the job done in LITERALLY 1/20th the time it would have taken me to whip stitch the whole thing!
There are also companies that specialize in binding/finishing rugs (in most major cities) however I have not yet explored this option. The one I investigated here in Minneapolis Minnesota told me they charge about $3-5 per linear foot of binding. So, for the rug I made today (2ftx2ft)(8ft parameter) They'd charge something like $25-40 to bind. I'm sure that'd look amazing, but it's not worth the money for me at this point :---)
If the video didn't make it clear, I like to save as much money as possible without compromising quality. This is why I used burlap as my primary fabric and cheap cotton canvas as my secondary fabric (backing)
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE HIGHEST QUALITY HAND TUFTED RUG, I will make a video especially for you very soon, but for now here are some tips:
- Use cotton yarn.
(I use acrylic yarn which is not as soft and frays a bit more (but cheaper!)
- Use industry-specific tufting monks cloth as your primary fabric
- Using two coats of flooring adhesive would probably help!
- Use a thicker, more expensive fabric as a backing
- Have a professional third party company do the binding
- Go slow while you tuft! try to tuft the back as uniform as possible so the yarn in front is consistent with no thick or thin patches

Definitely about to get some equipment lol
Sometimes the CZcams algorithm serves up gold.
YES MY DUDE all praise the youtube algorithms for bringing Andrew to me lol
Beautiful. And nice handy tool you have. Many moons ago, there was an elderly lady that lived across from our house. She was a Renaissance woman - made her own bread, churned her butter, had a well where she drew water. And she also made beautiful rugs, braided and tufted. She taught me a lot about crafty things. We would get burlap sacks from the feed store and make rugs with them. Elderly folks are beautiful people who can teach us how to live a simple life.
I'm so glad to see younger folks doing these kinds of skills. I see the next generation having a higher percentage of entrepreneurs. Those that actually work. Kids like this give me hope for the future
I don’t know how I got here but this tutorial made me happy.
now thats what I like to hear. Careful tho cuz this hobby is addicting
U make me happy lol

I am so glad I saw this, especially the fact that NO ONE I've seen has done biding techniques on the edges under the rug to give it that professional/quality vibe! I'm hella' bougie and don't want my rugs to be looking like a Grade 9 arts and craft project. Excited to watch your other videos and learn more!
thanks so much im glad you found my vid : )
Great use of the backing for an extra artistic signature! So creative and cool! Good job. Cool video. Love ur chillaxin vibe 🙃

Thanks yo that means a lot. Glad u found my work. Even more glad you enjoyed it : )
ahhhh so cool, i've made a few hand punched rugs but this makes me want to invest in a tufting gun
I have the same story.... I made a couple with a punch needle, but then figured I'd invest in a gun because now i can make them LITERALLY 100 times faster...
Sadly the guns are too cheap, but if you like the punch needle, Im positive you'll like the gun a ton
Oh my god! I love you! how creative and fun you are.I'll be watching your show from now on.
i love u too : ) glad you found my work
Just tufted my first rug. It’s pikachu! I’m so happy and now I now how to adhere everything, so thank you!:)

haha the tufting gun makes it much quicker. Do you use a punch needle?
@@FlavorWorld was going to use a punch needle but the gun looks like so much fun
I just realized... I'm so old now that my first thought after watching this was “his parents did such a good job raising this young man...”
hahaha yes they did! I'll show this comment to my mom
Well, thank you from his mom.
@@kathyyoung8092 HAHA HI MOM
@@kathyyoung8092 I’m pregnant with my first baby (probably why I’m parenting focused☺️) - any tips? 😂
Wow That is amazing !!
You are a very talented artist.
Beautiful work.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I appreciate this x10000
More works to come : )
Love the energy you put out
the rugs bring it out of me!!!! Thanks im glad you like it :--)
Uhm, thank you for this amazing video.... thanks CZcams for reccomending this.
u just made my day im glad you like it :::)))
so when I tuft the thread keeps coming out of my gun what do you put the yarn on so it will continuously thread? also the burlap gets huge holes in it and it falls apart what do i do for that?
hello!!! ok long comment inbound. i hope to answer all your questions:
having your yarn feed continuously is suuuuper important to having a good time tufting. If you using yarn bundles, make sure you're starting the bundle the correct way, most people dont know you can pull the strand from the INSIDE of the bundle and itll feed out continuously.
Here's a quick video showing that:
czcams.com/video/FpkzybsttDw/video.html
And with the holes in your burlap, usually one of these things is what is going wrong:
1. you aren't pressing firmly enough with the gun against the fabric
2. youre using your gun with wrong technique (make sure its at a 90 degree angle with the fabric and that you always point it in the direction its traveling)
3. your yarn isnt feeding properly (reduce the friction of it!)
4. your fabric isnt stretched tight enough
Hope this helps : )
Very nice rugg☺. I really love the pattern and the colors. My favorite colors😍
THANK YOUUUU I am honored. You just made me like my new rug even more ::)))
Felicitari copil minunat , nu am crezut , ca voi vedea un tanar sa faca covorase , si inca asa de frumoase . Felicitarii .
multumesc, multumesc, multumesc! Îmi place să o fac
I dint even know there was a machine like that 😁
Life changing stuff... At least for me it was
Me neither.
this is amazing, where’d you buy the gun from? I see it around a lot but I don’t know where’s reliable
I got mine a couple months ago from a seller on etsy named Guloom. Sadly i dont see them online anymore, so their shop must have closed :-/
I do hear that lots of places are sold out at the moment! everyone seems to be buying these guns right now so many people are being put on back order.
WOW, imagine all the designs you can make with that thing,...its awesome.
the possibilities are endless : ) im just on my page trynna explore as many as i can
i couldn’t stop smiling while watching this gem, you’re gold man pls keep it up
::::)))))) thank u so much. more to come 🧡
haha cant believe i'm saying this.. but genuinely think you've got such an adorable persona. uwu thanks for brightening up this space!
I need help on this, how do you put that material on the frame I have everything you have but it just won’t get on and keep slipping off
Do you have the carpet tack strips?
if yes, but its STILL slipping off, then you need to check which way your strips are facing because the nails sticking out of them are facing a certain direction!
If they are angled inward, itll slip off! but if they are angled outward It'll grip the fabric and hold it!!!
@@FlavorWorld Wow thank you I didn’t know that the carpet tack is faced in different directions
Don't know why this was in my recommendations. But, I'm in no way disappointed! Think I found a new hobby! Thank you for your work and inspiration! God bless!
YAY!!! Im very happy to inspire you : ) Tufting is amazing! feel free to ask any questions you have, I'm happy to help
That's quite interesting and fascinating too. Love your designs. You're very good with your hands.
thanks so much diana : ) more videos to come. Glad you enjoy my work
How did you get into rug making?
I saw one youtube video a few months ago and instantly fell in love. I did a bunch a research and BOOM next think i know, here i am : )
very very obsessed now.
@@FlavorWorld Can you share the video that inspired you?
@@pintopinto9901 czcams.com/video/GlJm_zphSj4/video.html
@@FlavorWorld Thank you
What are refreshing wonderful hobby! This was just a random channel I came upon and I'm so happy I did you're very talented man . Look forward to more of your videos .
I honestly didn’t know I wanted to make rugs literally until now. Your video is so easy to follow and you just get right to the point. Thanks for uploading this video.
Edit: also, is it hard to control the tufting gun at first? Like, does it take practise or is it simple to use that can we just go straight into it?
Yo i got you!!!! so happy to help.
The tufting gun is a power tool and definitely takes a bit of practice to get right, but it's not too dificult and im sure you can do it. Especially if you watch my tufting tutorial series (;
czcams.com/play/PLy2udpA1ufs33rcZwcmlAs5V4DkEeC1L6.html
@@FlavorWorld wow. Thank you for replying!! Thanks for the tip
I love it! Lot of positive energy.Thanks
the pleasure is mine : ) much more to come
It's the taking off the crocs and enjoying the rug he just made for me ❤
: ) gotta enjoy your creation a bit. soak it in lol. glad you like it
okAY BUT WAIT. now all of a sudden i want to make rugs ! can we have details on the gun ?
Yuuuup same thing happened to me! I saw one video and now here I am.
It's called a "tufting gun" They cost about $300, theres a couple different kinds, you can buy them online but sadly a lot of places are sold out right now :-/
Im making a video right now called Tufting 101 where imma just cover everything a beginner needs to know about it before they jump in. Stay tuned for that : )
Ask a question and ill answer!!! 👇👇👇
What type of wool yarn do you use? I can seem to figure out what that soft, vibrant, thick wool you seem to be using is called. I the wool I have right now is thin and straw like
Wonderfully informative video!
I was wondering is it possible to tuft with T-shirt yarn or “scrap yarn”? Or even other unconventional materials like twine or ribbon? Curious as to the result, and also how well the gun handles.
i have an important Q! how many hours did it take to finish tufting this small rug?
and another important Q :).. is it fun??
This was very cool. The method you showed put it into perspective for me. What kind of tufting gun and yarn do you use?
@@joefahy4806 Hey dude!!! Im using 7oz acrylic yarn!!! Wool is nicer, but a fair bit more expensive. I have zero complaints with acrylic yarn for rugs!
Also worth noting that i use two strands of yarn at one time. This makes a huge difference in the final products. If i use just one strand its very inconsistent and thin. The gun can handle up to 4(ish) strands at a time!!!
Your video just pop up, I fond it great to watch thank you, nice music too, great tips I never thought of making a rug after watch this I may just try making one,
Im so happy to help inspire you : ) it's a very fun hobby to make rugs!!! glad you enjoyed my video. more to come.
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on turfing thank you
Thank youuuuu thats awesome to hear!!!! more to come : )
Wow. I want to give it a try. How to shop for that gun ?
it's called a "tufting gun" !!! I've only ever seen them being sold online. I'd recommend searching tufting gun on the internet and seeing whats available in your area.
I have the AK-1 Cut Pile tufting gun to be specific
@@FlavorWorld wow you replied. I am happy
Please tell me how to get this gun I've been doing it wiff (with) a metal crochet hook 🤣😂😅
Como se llama el producto que le pones del reverso?
Yoo you from the Midwest? Soon as I heard Menards I knew you had to be from here?
Yessir!!!! Minnesota! I said menards and was like oh wait most people wouldnt know that haha
I didn’t know Menards wasn’t everywhere in the country...I also didn’t know about this craft. This will complement my weaving and sewing and screen printing and knitting and wood working and...
@@nicktaylor1649 haha yes crafters unite! i just like to make things.
but yea menards is a midwest thing, so, howdy my fellow mid western
your energy is great, super helpful video too!
That's the combo im going for : ) entertaining and educational. Glad u found my work : )
Great job. I just find watching people be creative is so satisfying. I guess I’m into rug making videos now.
No shortage of that on this channel : ) glad you found my work
i find you so adorable, js
I just got my gun two hours ago and started practicing! I’m just wondering why I see everyone using two yarns instead of just one!?
The gun can handle 1-4ish strands of regular yarn, or some thicker yarn.
When i use just 1 strand, its harder for me to get an even feeling top side, the whole rug feels thinner, AND possibly worst of all the strand of yarn easily de-threads and falls out of the gun (more of a problem with cut pile than loop pile)
Im really enjoying using 2 strands! You can even use different colors for some cool effects
@@FlavorWorld Thanks✨ I’ll try this today! So helpful💕✨
Hi do you mind if I ask where did you purchase your gun from ?
Dumb question but How can you run two yarns at once?
You make it seem so easy and cheap. I really want to try it. Thanks for the inspiration.
Happy to help! Have fun with it
WOW. Thankyou for showing this. I am obsessed now. I need this.
Tufting is contagious : ) glad you found my work
i have an important Q! how many hours did it take to finish tufting this small rug?
and another important Q :).. is it fun??
If I wasnt filming the process, a rug like this would take me about 2-3 hours to finish.
and YES very fun. I can not stop, it's an amazing hobby : )
I loved it and your video, I was working with a manual needle, punch needle, and I had seen this type of guns before but after watching your video I will definitely try it. Once again thank you for this video!!
thank you for watching pamela!!!! im happy to show off the gun, i think its the coolest thing ever
dude is so a chill and has amazing works of art and rugs, wich are like art because omg!!! honestly would buy this if i saw it in a store!
Thank u u are so kind 🥰🥰
