How to avoid Yarn from Falling out of your tufting Gun

Tension on the yarn is usually the biggest problem here. Keep the yarn as loose as possible from the tufting gun to the yarn skeen.

Thank you guys, you saved my life 😅🎉

[@jamiesmom]

your tutorial really helped a ton. thank you sm. I also was wondering why my yarn kept falling out every few tufts. I saw a youtuber who said she doesn’t have cones or anything, she just sits the yarn in a small tote and feeds it through as she tufts and I’m in my head like “then what am I doing wrong?!” 😭

Glad we could help! I always try to show what I’m doing, but then explain WHY! The little details matter

[@jamiesmom]

@@justruginit yeah! a lot of tufters don’t and it’s easy to overlook the smaller details such as this.

Turn down the speed of your machine. When it's at the right speed to how fast you move it you will see it stays in better, also loose yarn as he states helps tool.

Hey! I was wondering why do you have 2 strand of yarn at the same time in the gun’s hole ? Is it to make the rug thicker ?

[@justruginit]

I always use 2 and even sometimes 3. Yes it makes the rugs thicker. One strand just doesn’t cut it

thankyouu

[@angminnich918]

My yarn won’t go into my fabric all the way, I’ve tried fixing my scissors, I’ve tightened my fabric, I can’t figure out what’s wrong

[@justruginit]

Try using 2 strands of yarn and ensure there is no tension on the yarn from the machine to your skein

[@TuftedDreamer]

Hey quick Q, my yarn is twisting up in the gun untill it snags n falls out of the gun. Any idea why this would happen ? I have the ZQ2 geeen gun no speed adjustment

[@justruginit]

I don’t have that machine, but I helped someone else once and they figured out to use one strand . I hope it helps but I can’t give a better answer.

Can you make somekind of freshwater fish design

Thanks for this one! I've got a curios question for you, which I may just end up answering myself by typing it lol. We've got a Tuft-Love cut/pile gun, and using 80/20 acrylic/wool yarn that constantly jams in the needle of the gun, cutting short and tearing the wool apart and out of the needle. Is this caused simply due to the yarn's large size? Is there any way to mitigate this?

[@justruginit]

Every yarn acts a little different. If the yarn is too soft, the scissors have a hard time cutting. I stick with 100% acrylic weight number 4 and use 2 stands. It just depends.

I need help where can I send u the video of my problems

[@ritchiedee6210]

easily said and I knew that concept but yeah how? as in how the f do you FIND the other end of the yarn when its INSIDE of the roll?????

[@justruginit]

Sometimes it’s sticking out, other times you just grab a bunch and pull out a big section

[@pettricktalley2846]

So you just pull and drop? No yarn roller thingy or anything?

[@justruginit]

Yeah pretty much, works for me, but you have find what will work for you

[@DBoppityBop]

Why won’t my gun cut the yarn? It does sometimes, but I mostly have to have scissors nearby to detach from the fabric. Otherwise, pulling the gun away pulls the yarn back out.

[@justruginit]

Probably need to adjust your closer. Check out the video about the 2 in 1 gun… there’s info about the closer in there

[@carlschannel4560]

Adjust your screw at the bottom of your gun

[@pettricktalley2846]

What size yarn do you use? Is 7oz ok?

[@justruginit]

I use weight 4 with 2 strands. Not sure how 7oz would do but worth a shot!

[@breannamadison9014]

Why does my yarn get bunched up at the needle point???? It only happens when i have 2 threaded threw it

[@justruginit]

Could be your scissors need to open more
