Overcoming Hesitation: Tufting a Large-Scale Rug for Beginners

Today's video is a bit different from my usual content because I'm diving right into the topic at hand. I received a commission for a large-scale project that I was hesitant to accept at first. However, I reminded myself that as an artist, it's normal to feel unsure about new challenges.
In the video, I share my experience working on the project, including my struggles with staying on track with the deadline and filming process. Nonetheless, I persevered and focused on the task at hand. As you'll see, I didn't capture as much footage as I would have liked, but I'm still excited to share my progress with you.
Throughout the video, you'll see me working on the project, cutting thread, and tufting. I also discuss my least favorite part of the process, which is blueing and backing, but I know it's worth it in the end. The final product is incredibly satisfying to see, and I hope you enjoy it as well!

Came out great

[@CHLOPATRAAA]

Sickkkkkkk!!!!!!

[@screwfaceclub]

You’re sooo good. Try and tighten the backing on the frame. It should bounce back like a drum when you tap it. It’ll make it easier ❤️🙌 You’re so good tho!!!

[@nayahuh]

Thank you! I try tightening it as I’m working but I think it ends up becoming loose as I work from all the tension. 🥲

[@dougg229]

if the shears get too hot for trimming, maybe try oven mitts or some type of glove dope work

[@datboydt958]

Wooooow this is dope, definitely gonna drop a sub! Also I have the same sheers and I've ran into the same problem with the sheers getting really hot when I didn't oil the blades before I used them! Not sure if that helps at all, but great job on this rug I'm hyped to watch more of your videos!

[@nayahuh]

Okay that makes sense. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I guess I just need to oil it every time I use. Thanks a lot😁

[@scapgang2558]

Dope 🥶

[@JeJeNtwrk]

[@slidinwithleesburg]

This looks amazing…..is this a persona random design or is this actual of something if you know what i mean ?

[@halffull1607]

Wow Impressive work ! How long did it take you from start to finish ? and how much did they pay you ?

[@Amora_Shalom]

Are you using burlap or monks cloth? Very dope work 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@nayahuh]

By this point I’m pretty sure I was using monks cloth. Tuftinggun.com were the only people I’ve ever bought monks cloth from.

[@Amora_Shalom]

@@nayahuh awesome thank you!!!

[@francelacarrera8864]

AAAAAA increible!!!!

[@Dxeboy]

That’s cold I just Started Myself

[@rvlrmagz2485]

U gotta grease the blade of the sheers every time u use them. I found that when I didn’t the sheers would overheat due to the friction.

[@MrSour1]

detailing this would be a pain in the butt...

[@bighomiee427]

👑👑👑🙏🏾🐐🐐🐐 This is Amazing!!

[@vickistone3700]

how do you keep track of colors?

[@nayahuh]

I try to label them

Espectacularmente hermosa felicitaciones

[@ghettofollies2988]

[@lwill4026]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯

[@Josh-pz6kl]

How much do a rug like this cost

[@ЯрославАлексеевич-б6э]

Слишком крутая работа, чтобы по ней ходили ногами)

[@seandavis4865]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@troyboi2597]

Fire 🔥💪🏾💪🏾

[@bighomiee427]

How long did it take all together ? You mentioned that your least favorite part was the glue around the edges on the bottom. I saw a video where he used spray adhesive to lay them down. Quicker, less mess, try it out 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@nayahuh]

I do that only on rugs that have a straight edge. If not then in won’t let as flat. Took me about 10 days of work spread out over a month

[@SummerJoy378]

Hi, are you using different needles? I don’t feel like this big behind needle that came with the gun is even equipped to do this!! But let me know if it’s just me?

[@nayahuh]

Nope! There’s a standard needle that comes with it as well as a replacement part. I don’t think I’ve ever seen different sized ones though.

[@lilsuperfly2481]

My mother working on one now she want to learn the finishing cut

[@nayahuh]

It’s mad easy just tell her to take her time for sure!!

[@Renzo689]

what size is the tufting cloth pleaseee

[@Piasays]

💪🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@2nd2nobody]

What size is your frame

[@ygpeezy844]

can you send the picture of it i would like to make one myself

[@nayahuh]

Sorry this is an original art work and I don’t think the artist would be comfortable with that at all.
