Use me as the "I came here from Jazza's video" button

[@06Jessy06]

I watched this month's before Jazzas video, and I returned heart 💖

[@ChrystalChristie]

oh wow i appreciate all of you and Jazza so much! it means the world!!! thank you for watching ❤️ got plenty more and updated rug content coming verrrrrry soon so stick around 🫶🏼

[@jasonkyker5972]

Mee too

[@M00nknight2099]

Ditto really wanted to learn for a while

[@brianwalker5937]

'she'll be coming 'round the mountain' had me rolling. I have not heard that in 15 years at least. I came here from Jazza's recommendation. I honestly probably won't tuft anything ever, but I am fascinated by the process and enjoy watching things that are created by real talented people. This video in itself is one of those creations. The quality of editing, the dialog, the music, the humor, the actual content - I mean top notch video production. Very impressive! Actually, maybe I will give it a go. Great content!

[@dodgersv3]

As a former manager in Carpet Tufting, I find your technique highly commendable. The procedural steps demonstrated in the video closely align with the carpet manufacturing process. My only recommendation is to prioritize safety by wearing protective glasses while operating the tufting gun and utilizing gloves during the tuft shearing phase. Apart from that, the video is notably concise and methodical in outlining the tufting process. Excellent work!

[@dodgersv3]

If you need any advice let me know.

[@ChrystalChristie]

thank you so much this means a lot i appreciate your insight!

[@Loogiemistress]

Jazza sent me 😊

[@RugKartel]

[@MrSteph2013]

By far the best "how to video" 🌟 with helpful close ups and tips. Sharing your real experiences makes this less daunting to do ❤

[@CoriPlum]

I'm fairly new to tufting, with only a couple of rugs completed, but I just discovered your videos and they're really motivating to get more into it and make it very unique to me and how I want to sell things. Wishing you all the best and hope to see more of your rugs and your journey soon

[@miya99s]

Just started rug tufting and it's the best thing I have gotten into watching u tuft is really relaxing too

[@ChrystalChristie]

Glad you enjoy it! it’s so much fun🫶🏼

[@ninaneher3316]

Thanks for the great video. I ordered a rug tufting gun yesterday and have been bingeing tufting vids all day. I'm feeling less and less nervous the more I watch. I've done hand embroidery since I was little and have latch hooked a few decent sized rugs in the past but have never used a machine. That's the part that makes me nervous. Thanks for easing my mind a bit more.

[@ChrystalChristie]

you got this! think of hand embroidery as like classical training, you’re gonna be so good at tufting :)

[@davidyaqub6530]

Making a contemporary piece and this was so helpful, now I need to go and execute. Amazing!!

[@tinnamorrison-long]

I've been tufting for about 2 1/2 months now. Your video has the most useful instructions of any of the other videos I've seen. You've helped me so much in this one video. I wish I had seen this first. Things would have gone a lot smooth for me 😊. Thank you very much! Girl you rock!

[@guerovillalbaso2523]

Just a whole lot of tips to make the process more enjoyable. I am inspired to give this a try. Patrick, Texas

[@cherryT55555]

It’s kind of like tattooing. So cool! Thank you for the awesome video!

[@cricutcreationswithtory]

Great tutorial! You’re very talented! 😊

[@MulletTop]

Awesome video! I like the Aus tufting glue because it's low odour, but it's very liquid so best applied with paint roller

[@ChrystalChristie]

thank you! oh awesome ill get myself a paint roller then

[@xshadow7x]

Thank you for the video, I definitely appreciate the safety tips because I don’t think I’ve seen anybody recommend them. It was in deep details as well which i like so I don’t have to find more answers in the comment section or through other videos.

Thank you!

[@user-xn2sq9mo4i]

I love it

[@juandavidruizserna]

Amazing video, i have been looking into getting to making custom rugs, and this video is the one that finally pushed me to invest in a tufting gun, by the way, if you know someone with a 3d printer you can contact him/her so you can make a custom part for the winding machine so the paper roll tubes fit as you wish without cutting them, if in need of some cones that are more durable you can think of a cone design and the friend helping with a 3d printer can help to print them. If i was loceted near you i wold help with the printing and design of cones, but sadly for me i am located in lating america and shipping costs are far too much for my budget. Agai i really love your video, quite entertaining and great tips useful for beginners

[@thaidise8842]

Thank you 🙏❤️🍀

[@tigerhuey4051]

Very Nice!

[@ChrystalChristie]

thanks!!

[@umsalamaabdallah1620]

Thank you

[@alyssawalker8583]

Your videos are so helpful and I’m so glad I found your channel, you have given me a lot of helpful tips that I plan on using! I do have one question tho, when you cut out your rug there was still a lot of material left on the frame, can you still tuft on that or is it no longer usable because it’s no longer taught on the frame?

[@CrazyDemiFan1]

I have to say I love your enthusiasm. I can tell you would make an AMAZING car saleswoman or just a saleswoman in general. Apparently I need to go to Jazzas channel because everyone in these comments seem to have come from there 😂 I’m guessing he tried rug tufting recently

[@ChrystalChristie]

HAHAHAHA a car sales women hmmm maybe i need to switch careers 🤪

[@Lost--History]

I love your Job. Greetings from Germany

[@ChrystalChristie]

thank you! hello from Australia!

[@christanchoredministry3475]

i love this video and I want to start my own rug tufting business this going to be my learning channel, from South Africa

[@margaretdossantos7563]

Awesome How To Video!!! You had mentioned that it was long but I didn't even notice...you made the tutorial fun! & informative! Could you pass along what you use to create the photo designs...or perhaps what programs you recommend or don't care for... where to locate already designed rugs...I am just starting to research Tuffting. If you wouldn't mind adding limks to the equipment that you have purchased and enjoy using that to would be amazing..like the projector..I know that a viewer will probably mention for me to let my fingers do the investigating (which I am looking forward to) BUT a person has better insite from using the products and equipment..I much rather hear the do's and don'ts that way then to only reading charts of reviews. Once again you are AMAZING at providing KZbin Tutorials!!! I look forward to your future presentations!!

[@RastadasPT]

Came here from Jazza's video! Leaving my sub!

[@TugsRugs]

You’re video is very creative

[@10fiftyrecords48]

Great Tutorial I love your accent.

[@visualdrip.official]

very cool! how much do you sell a rug that size for?

[@Keegan_Co]

As another fellow small youtuber i hit subscribed! Came from Jazza! Huge props to your amazing rugs! ❤

[@ChrystalChristie]

thank you so much i appreciate it!!

[@rhonnieo5224]

Wonderful rug and video. May I ask if you're using an AK1?

[@nolathegreen2797]

You are a bliss! So sweet and informative! I wish you the best! I am thinking to buy a tuft gun. Searching on the net for information. I have a question though, how much yarn do you use for a rug like the one youve made on the video. Lets say about the green!

[@techbug5661]

That was amazing I am ready to start rug tufting get me a business I have so many ideas thanks for the motivation

[@julieannDSoriano]

I'm watching this video and planning start tufting

[@miriamc.c1142]

Hello i love everything you do! I have a question, what kind of oil do u use for your gun?

[@amberwilliams320]

Love this video!!!! You’ve given very pertinent information! I’d love to know what program you use for creating your first image? That’s the only thing I’m not getting from most videos.

[@ChrystalChristie]

thank you! i use Adobe Illustrator on my laptop and Procreate on my ipad to draw my designs :)

[@mwiingamaila9349]

Hi , thank you so much for the tips. I design rugs using a punch needle and budgeting to buy a tufting gun. How user friendly is this machine?

[@marichia604]

and have a theme song, omg!

[@janicepoelen959]

Great video Crystal, really covers it all!! Could you please explain why you tuft horizontally at 23:55, instead of vertically as you did for the other part of the jacket?

[@ChrystalChristie]

Thanks for watching!! No real reason but if the horizontal line is longer than the vertical i’d rather tuft whatever is longer. It doesn’t really matter if you go horizontal or vertical as long as it’s nice and straight it will fill the same :)

[@laurabarbato3204]

Great video! Thank you. Can a person use acrylic yarn with that tufting tool?

[@luisaguirre6602]

Nice work Can you please tell me what kind a shaver are you using? I like it,, 😊

[@nyanathalia]

thank you for this! Im curious as to what app you used for your color pallet on your computer ?

[@ChrystalChristie]

thanks for watching 😁 i use Adobe Illustrator!

[@DizzyPanda]

I am here because of the butterfly effect... :D I fell asleep watching a SHORT about tufting, and the next day the algorithm recommended a video by Martyna and Hansi about a super big and cool Ghibli-style rug, which was followed by Jazza’s video, who shouted you out at the end.

[@twistknit1]

Great video! What is the black tape called that you use to edge your rugs?

[@ChrystalChristie]

it’s called heading tape or twill tape!
