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

[@Mr.Bradev]

Who?

[@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!

[@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!

[@Loogiemistress]

Jazza sent me 😊

[@gamzekavak5029]

This is the first video that I have been watched without skip and skip 🤣 you’re so funny and cute 🌸

[@aa-sd2io]

Thank you Christie you helped me a lot! Because of you I made my fourth rug today ♥️

[@ChrystalChristie]

I just started tufting like 2 weeks ago and have been getting discouraged so thank you for all of these tips, organizational ideas and tufting itself, THANK YOU

[@ChrystalChristie]

that makes me so happy! keep at it and don’t let anything discourage you, let it inspire you!!

[@shazi2u]

dont give up

[@mwiingamaila9349]

What really discouraged you?

[@brooklynzoo7189]

Oh Waite it’s hard ? I just told my husband that KZbinrs make everything looks so easy

[@regulator9268]

​@brooklynzoo7189 lol right. They really do make it look so simple.

[@ryankidder]

Easily one of the best tutorials I've ever seen - not just for tufting, but overall. You have a genuine talent for KZbin.

[@markmoore7070]

I am 50 and I just started rug tufting. I am having a blast and you are my mentor.

[@deboraho3489]

A real Step by Step video for beginners like me. Very informative, patient, entertaining personality, soothing music ,wonderful since of humor , showing the great care and personalization you do for your clients over and above the call of duty. Great quality rugs. Shout out to your dad for his great support helping you make your frame. Great work. Don't change the good work you are presenting.

[@ChrystalChristie]

this is so kind of you to say, thank you so much! i’m so glad you enjoyed- all the best on your tufting journey ❤️

[@goodlawyer1813]

So much personality. Thanks for sharing this info; I can't wait to intro my son to tufting.

[@ChrystalChristie]

Yay! I hope he loves it :)

[@Itzbadnewzbooka]

I can’t express how thankful I am for your help and support 36:36

[@daan88930]

Amaaazing video and after watching like 50+ tufting videos it still helped A LOT!!

[@ChrystalChristie]

ahhh i’m so glad!!

[@TwoFace_Tv]

Found a new hobby to watch. Thanks youtube! 😁

[@ChrystalChristie]

yay welcome!!

[@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]

How your tufting now after 2 months

[@ChrystalChristie]

this is so nice to hear, thank you!! i’m glad it helped you

[@tinnamorrison-long]

@@guerovillalbaso2523 much better 😀👍. Practice asuch as possible then things start to really click.

[@kriogenic1923]

Thank you for updating the description!. I watched this video about 6--7 months ago and the Aus Tufting Supplies store was still up but very empty and sold out... I returned to watch it again; a new Australian supplier had been listed!

[@ChrystalChristie]

you’re so welcome!! I can not recommend All Things Effy enough! And they just opened up an Australian store too so shipping is so much cheaper for us 🤩 it’s allthingseffy.au 💜

[@luisaguirre6602]

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

[@BigT44682]

Absolutely love every minute of this video ❤ thanks for sharing your tips and tricks 👍keep being you and keep shining brightly coz your amazing 👍I'll be following you on TikTok to ❤

[@sylvanastavrou2892]

Really enjoyed watching how you make rugs. You are so talented.

[@ChrystalChristie]

🥺❤ thank you!!!

[@Stewpitt377]

You're an excellent teacher! You share exactly the right helpful details/pitfalls to avoid. S tier info. Thank you! Also, 11:00 dope track 🔥😂

[@patrickmclead5534]

Thank you for this video. You are so informative on the process of making a rug. You highlight things that others have not. You explain the working of the gun and how to maintain it properly. Just a whole lot of tips to make the process more enjoyable. I am inspired to give this a try. Patrick, Texas

[@StephRenee812]

I have to wait till Christmas for mine. I cant wait. Thank you for sharing

[@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 :)

[@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

[@arungaian]

‘Your gun will pass away!’ 😂😂

[@cherryT55555]

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

[@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 :)

[@makangalucky7929]

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🫶🏼

[@miya99s]

You amaze me everyday with how creative and inspiring you are 🤩

[@ChrystalChristie]

ilysm 🥺

[@meeksshoes8621]

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.

[@MrSteph2013]

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

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

[@Jellyjamwaffles]

3:11 and 3:31 The metal or plastic rod that you use to hold your yarn on, did you buy that or make it yourself?

[@josephm2817]

Best tutorial ever! Keep up the awesome work!

The best video ever, you transmit a lot of good energy, and I'm just about to start in the field, I feel less nervous now, thank you very much.

[@ronrothstein4175]

U go girl I am going to start this soon

[@clintonogle-y9i]

thaaaanks was veddi helpful

[@Buffnerd_i]

you're really awesome, you actually answered so many questions i had by just watching, it was a thorough and great guide, also love the vibe, thank you! subscribed :)

[@Alltime_funto]

This is the beat step by step video so far. I have some questions 1. I’m in Nigeria and i am confused on how to get the tufting fabric, can you list any other stuff they use the fabric for so i can find it in my local market easily? 2. Can the same wool used in crocheting be used too? 3. I’m planning on getting the manual tufting pin tool, do i still need to shave when I’m done? Thank you 🙏

[@ChrystalChristie]

thank you for watching! 1) you can also use Burlap or Monks Cloth, may be easier to source in a local market but sometimes it may rip. If you use a manual tufting tool it should be okay! 2) yes you can use any wool that is minimum 8ply. acrylic, wool and cotton yarn work best 3) shaving is up to you! you don’t have to at all 😁

[@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.

[@jamestyra9049]

Have you tried to put the tp roll on the winder before you start so it wraps the yarn around the roll?

[@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!!

[@Aleex667]

Hi! I love your guide through tufting ❤ I just started my adventure and when I tuft big loops appears at both sides of rug, can you tell me what am I doing wrong?😢

[@shananorris6966]

My son is wanting to start learning this and I'm trying to help him get started. Is there a specific brand of tufting cloth you recommend? He bought a kit on Amazon and a cloth was included but it seems kinda cheaply made. What do you recommend to use? And is your yarn wool or acrylic?

[@ess3ntial]

she said wool in the video

[@laurabarbato3204]

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