How to build a frame for rug tufting

[@hayleyshade5917]

Mr. Eads! I have been scouring the internet for 3 years looking for a videos, blogs, ect. for hand tufting rugs from start to finish. I haven't started on this project because I couldn't find instructions for making the frame. I google some more today and first result is my middle and high school art teacher :) Thanks for uploading these!

[@lechateaudenikki]

Thanks for taking the time to show this!!! I'm thinking King abouttwking this and modifying the braces so that you can wing nut different sized frames in!!

[@johnnycole4483]

If we are building the frame these dimensions, what size does the rug cloth need to be??

[@wisconsindonna]

I got both guns for Christmas and I just purchased your online class the other day. I can’t wait to get started!

[@Inuweeb]

And how did it go?

[@al6956]

What are the exact measurements we have to cut the wood to?

[@1khaden865]

Where can I get that fabric cut that large ???

[@grantstephenking]

any guidance on what i’d need to ask for if i want to make a 45 x 45 frame? thank you in advance!

[@desmondkent1110]

What fabric did you just use. Please let me know. No one tells me. I got minks fabric but it’s too thick and not staying on the tack strips. I can’t tighten the fabric

[@juditholorungbeja7469]

Good day please where can I buy the turfing machine

[@cs-hd1zr]

How do you attach the loop part to the frame I ordered a frame of ur website and there’s no holes for the loop part and I just have a screwdriver

[@samuele1986]

Just ordered one of you’re guns excited to start learning !!!

[@niels263]

How is it going now?

[@hannahgur-arie9393]

What do you need to build the base that supports the frame?

Any other solution to replace the carpet tack? Can’t find carpet tack in South America

[@Pathfinder2]

When making a larger rug, do you need to make a larger frame or is it possible to use a frame this size and then move over the cloth to the unworked section?

[@manlymcstud8588]

you would lose your tension on one side, so really you need a frame to fit the size rug, i would venture to say.

[@onism3053]

@@manlymcstud8588 definitely would

[@manlymcstud8588]

@@onism3053 i'm playing around with my tufting gun and set-up atm. i couldn't imagine one side not being taut. i think an alternative method might be to make sections and connect them together with glue and strips of material to overlap the two pieces, then the final backing might be strong enough to hold it all together. (or use the edge of one side to overlap, glue down, then final backing.) i think i better understand what the original question is, but then the problem would be restretching the material, and the already completed area would be in the carpet strips, inviting disaster.

[@ckinno]

Hello, Do you use anything to keep it from sliding across the floor or do you tuft with it against the wall? Also, when will you have the premium cloth restocked on your website? I am looking to purchase both the tufting gun and the cloth.

[@wendolynebarrios]

what are the dimensions for the cloth being used here?

[@lattep9613]

I have one like that except it's an antique. It looks like huge yardsticks, with fine wires to grab the material, and the frame is bolted together at the corners using wing nuts. But yours is better because it's on wheels.

Love the video,thank you! Also wondering what song this is?

Where do you find fabric big enough to go over the frame??

[@SwaggShaudy]

Trying to figure out the same thing!!

[@MegaPandawanda]

what are the dimensions for the legs? i’m going to the hardware store and going to ask them to cut it but don’t know what lengths to get them cut. let me know :)!

[@masconechoes5719]

I’m building a tufting frame just wondering if 2.3 x 2.7 meters is to big for a tufting frame?

[@livefree1111]

Awesome tutorial. Where do you get cloth that big? Everywhere I go, the cloths come in small pieces.

[@tufttheworld]

Thank you! Link in the description for large cloth. We sell it at www.tufttheworld.com

[@makeanappearance5581]

What are the dimensions for the smaller frame, behind the one you’re building? That one looks the perfect size for me!

[@clementinagonzalez3912]

Thank you for this! And also what are the orange sticks in the borders and what can I replace those with? I live in Costa Rica and I’m not sure if they sell those here. Thanks

[@ShoEm92]

Hi.. I am new to rug tufting and I have a question. After you stretch the tufting canvas on the frame do you need to attach something more to secure it or is the carpet tack enough for the material to hold in place? Thank you!

[@kolaiahtucker8129]

What are the measurements for the legs?

[@livingoki6819]

Thank you! This was extremely helpful! I just purchased my first cut pile tufting gun from you! I can't wait to get started!! Do you have the approximate measurements for each section of the leg braces? My hardware store will cut the wood for you as long as you give them a measurement.

Wait so the fabric literally gets stretched over the nails on the red piece of added wood and that's how it stays in place?

[@Jimbobc111]

The red piece is the carpet tack strips he mentions in the description. Its covered in tiny nails and that's what the fabric sticks to! But yes you're just jabbing it on those. I've seen a few people recommend putting something over the tack strips once the fabric is on so you don't accidentally stab yourself!

[@casgoodie]

Thanks for the video, how well are the carpet tack strips working for you?

[@mettebandersen]

THIS IS SO AWESOME! I have never heard of the carpet tack strips before, I am tufting by hand with the danella needle and spend SO much time on putting nails into my cloth. I hope I can get hold of the tufting gun somehow - maybe i'll need to travel to the US for your workshops. When will you announce 2020 dates?
