How to put Tufting Fabric On your Frame

Heres a video of how I put Tufting Fabric on frame. It's really important to keep the fabric straight and make it as tight as possible.

You deserve more subs. A lot of people just talk and yap then pretty much do things for quantity but this video is quality and to the point

Thanks

This video is so helpful! I would want a frame this size so the cloth can fit well and have some left over. I will build my next frame and consider the cloth size as well as portability and being able to attach it to a table as well

Dude your channel is awesome. I watched your first video, now this one. I am in to watch them all now. I just discovered this hobby & got the same paisley orange tufting gun you have with the rad toggle switch or aviation style switch on it, based on your recommendation. I am excited to try a new thing. I got some hardware to make a 36x36 frame + an 80x120 sheet of tufting cloth so I figure I can make six 40x40 pieces that should give me the extra couple of inches on every side to do 6 rugs to learn on. So far, I think you are the authority on this subject, nothing against other channels, they are just nowhere near as tightly made & explanatory as yours - you are the rug dude to watch, for sure. Subbed & belled.

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to write this comment. It really made my day!

HI! Thanks for the advice I have a question, if the carpet isn't really tight like these in your video, is that a problem or could it still be fine?

[@justruginit]

That’s hard question to answers. Stretching the fabric helps prevent tears when your tufting. If your still tufting and the yarn is getting in there without tear, your good

[@SewMeKrisB]

Did you use a certain brand of carpet tacks? I used a blue brand from Lowe’s but I don’t feel like it grabs like yours

[@justruginit]

I got mine from Home Depot because it’s closer to me. No real reason other than that. Just make sure the tacks are pointed outward

[@SewMeKrisB]

@@justruginit okay thanks. I think my bottom row faces up. I appreciate the feedback. I love your Tiktok lives

I put nails around the whole frame

[@basmakhaled4817]

Thanks for your help but i have i question ,after I stretched the fabric The piece of cloth loosens when i start tufting what is the issue in that case and how can i fix it ?

[@justruginit]

Could be your tufting cloth. If your usings monks cloth, it generally stretches a lot

[@nooko148]

@@justruginitWhat type of cloth would you reccommebd using?

[@jimmylemmons6093]

Do the carpet tacs ever get dull?

[@justruginit]

Not yet, but i stretch the fabric pretty tight and I have noticed a few of the tacks broken off. Might be time to replace a few of the strips

[@tee5256]

where do you get your cloth?

[@justruginit]

I sell the exact stuff on my website.

[@beedub_4]

do you plan to restock your tuft guns on your site?

[@justruginit]

Yes! They should be arriving today! Hopefully. Lol. This last restock has been super painful on the admin side

[@justruginit]

Back in stock! They go quick

[@beedub_4]

i’m just now seeing this! going now!! THANKS!!!

[@briannesimmons3783]

Mines only staying at the top but keeps coming off bottom an sides 😭😭

[@justruginit]

You might have the tack strip pointed the wrong way. They are slightly angled to hold
