    Thats awesome, I have always wanted to try rug making. I will say though, that mask isn't doing anything. Thats a particulate mask for dust, and does nothing for vapors. Get yourself a respirator with a carbon filter otherwise don't even bother. I work in the adhesive industry and have lots of experience with this, not just a keyboard warrior. Stay safe and keep making cool stuff.

    For the tv in the back that says “Joann please sponsor me” you should do a black outline for the word “Joann” like you have it for “sponsor me”, I didn’t notice the word “Joann” untill the camera focused on it, just a helpful tip for more recognition, on another note I’ve never bought or tried to make a rug ever in my life, so good job at keeping someone like me entertained throughout the video👍💪

      @RhodyRugs  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I’m glad it helped! I can say that it helps me doing it all at once rather than on the frame + after. But I’ve seen some other creators do some extremely great shaving while it’s still on the frame. I’d recommend figuring out what gives you the best results. Everyone has preferences 😁

    How do you keep your yarn in the tufting gun I keep having it fall out while I’m tufting

      either your yarn balls are too tight or your tufting machine hole isn't small enough. You can adjust the hole you feed the yarn through

    It appears to me. It's the same pressure and structure as doing screen printing for t-shirts.

    Hello! I decided to try this as a hobby but for some reason the yarn stops or gets stuck at gun. Idk if it is to big o or not sure what’s happening.
    I’ll appreciate your advice

      Do you have something that make the yarn stay about the gun so it doesn’t get caught?

    when the tufting gun is not in use it's important to give oil after a week or month?
