RUG TUFTING: Overcoming Challenges in My First Tufting Project!

This video has been a long time in the making! I've finally finished tufting my Kuromi rug, which is the first ever rug I've made! I look forward to practicing more and advancing in this craft, so keep watch for my future projects!
Here's a list of all the supplies I've used and where I got them!
Tufting Gun, Primary Tufting Cloth, Tufting Frame : Tuft the World
Premium Felt: Joann's
Everything else I used is listed on my Amazon Storefront! (I do receive commissions for purchases made from my link!)

As a rug tufter, that is an AMAZING first rug! My first rug was in shambles and ripped all over the place 😂 your first rug looks professional!

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Wow thank you so much!!!!!! That means a lot!! I did so much research and watched so many videos 😅

[@Savvysportqueen]

You are right whenever I want to do with someone that is someone else’s pattern I just create my own pattern no one should be stealing your patterns. I would be really upset if mine got stolen because I’m trying to create a business and I work hard to make those kinds of things so I understand you not wanting people to steal your crocheting patterns

“I just heard my tamagotchi beep” so nostalgic 🤣 I got my son who’s going to be 8 soon a tamagotchi for his birthday I can’t wait to show him it. And you did so well with this rug! It does look so intimidating 🫣

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Lol!!! I got the new tamagotchi Uni and have been playing with it since to try to collect the badges for all the characters 🤣 it is really nostalgic though - it was one my favorite things as a kid!! My little sister is 8 and I try to get her to play with some of the other ones I have and she loses interest so quick or forgets about them and they die 😭😭🤣

[@crochetbykittengrll]

And thank u!! It is intimidating 😭🤣

[@BaddieSlayShorts]

You have inspired me so much to start crocheting! I love your work so much and I would love to see a tutorial for a magic ring or magic circle (idk if they are the same thing) and how to make the second row! I struggle with it so much😭😭

[@TheBlueBootBoutique]

I love watching your KZbin videos! Youre an amazing part of the crochet community!

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Awe thank you so much!!! That means a lot 😭🥰

[@st4r__L0v3R]

I’ve been waiting for this!!! U did greattttttttt it looks sooooo cuteeee 💋💋💋♥️♥️♥️♥️✨

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Thank u so much!!! 🥰 it was definitely a challenge 🤣

[@victoriamawere1273]

Your rug looks amazing Well done ❤!

[@SydneyKirk-xi9xx]

Your rug turned out sooooo good 😍😍 I’m sure you already follow Happy.Rugs, but in case you don’t, I think you’d like her!! Your rug turned out just as beautiful as hers do. As for the negative comments, I know that they suck, and there’s no avoiding them, but you’re doing great!!! I think a mass majority of people, especially the ones who follow you and keep up to date on things, know your struggles with others selling your work and we completely understand why you’re watermarking your work. You’ve put in countless hours to create and there’s absolutely no fault in protecting your intellectual property. I’m sorry that people took things out of context, but you’re constantly impressing me with how you handle things, props to you girl!!!

[@crochetbykittengrll]

This is so sweet!!! I actually believe I do follow her on TikTok!! Her stuff is so good! And thank u so much, I appreciate that :)

[@CrochetLover85]

omg!!! You are AMAZING!!!!

[@kelzdollz7]

Oooh make me a rug, so pretty! ❤

[@bwepop]

I love to crochet, and ive been wanting to try out rug tufting! i loveeee your channel, and all your patterns!!!!! You deserve better!!

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Thank u so much!!!! I was always so intrigued watching all the rug making vids lol I’ve wanted to try it for so long!

[@ameliag2766]

I love crocheting and that is an amazing first rug!! I love watching your videos!

[@HorseLover10-w4s]

I love your channel so much ❤❤❤❤❤

[@stateoferinyt]

I'm so happy to see you doing the rugs! My daughter and I love your crochet shorts! She loves pokemon and your Pokémon videos make her very happy! Please keep up the GREAT work!

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Awee thank u so much!!!!! I hope I can find the time to make more Pokémon plushies!!! They’re one of my fav things to make!!

[@stamirisis]

It’s soooooo good

[@amandalea8772]

Hope you can stop ppl stealing your patterns in Australia there’s a whole website to clarify copyright laws in regards to patterns. But I still see a lot of patterns being resold on Etsy that are definitely in breach of that. I feel Etsy will end up having to do something about it.

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Wow I didn’t know that! That’s a really good thing to have. I do hope Etsy does something about it eventually. It happens so often on that platform, it’s unfortunate!

[@sarahameen5145]

this is so cuteeeee

[@itzyforever17]

i still love your voice! so pretty 🫶🏻

[@gothictany73]

Wow that turned out AMAZING!! 🖤👾🖤👾🖤 Im a seamstress and I appreciate this so so much! On the glue and backing...I would recommend Fabri-Tac fabric glue. It's washable and won't go anywhere! On the backing, the premium felt will pill. So recommend thick canvas fabric or duck fabric. Love LOVE Kuromi! Great job sweety! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💕

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Thank u so much for the tips!!!! I appreciate it so much!!

[@heartsfrommya]

Your rug is adorable😭 I loved watching you make this! I've been thinking about making some honestly. It seems fun! And I'm sorry people are being rude. You definitely don't deserve that, your patterns are amazing.

[@Mirrahart]

It’s amazing you did so good

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Thank u!!

[@SleepySarabear]

Looks awesome! I've always wanted to try this but it looks so intimidating!

[@crochetbykittengrll]

I felt the same way but decided to just go for it!! It’s pretty hard honestly!! 😭

[@polythenepam3236]

Have u tried latch hook? It scratched my itch of wanting to make something like that and it’s way cheaper!

[@Aurelia-py9hp]

То что люди копируют это плохо, но твои работы прекрасны ❤

[@Crochetbyfaro]

Absolutely love your rug!! Make me wanr to tryy it! But definitely scared to try it out.

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Thank you!! I was really nervous it’s definitely intimidating!

[@alexabooker6340]

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Pretty much!!🤣 I’ve never punch needled but always wanted to try but now I got this giant machine instead 😂

[@143kanq]

[@creategirl1]

[@tracydobson9914]

I’m a new subscriber but I’m really sorry people made you feel that way. You have every right to protect your IP. And obviously it’s good enough to sell and make money!

[@crochetbykittengrll]

Thank u so much! 💕

[@Me_17894e]

I have a small question if you do to order toys because if so how can I buy a toy( i love it)

[@Novaa-ex8kn]

tip:after you tuft, glue ,then cut it out, THEN shave it down!

[@YUKI_MIZUKIE123]

May you please make a free pattern on Glamrock Freddy and Freddy Fazbear? (I subbed so can you maybe make it?…)

[@cvetinacvetkova1835]

Can you make a tutorial for freddy fazbear?

[@user-fk4us9ho9q]

Hey, I want to Glenrock Freddy, plush

[@crochetbykittengrll]

I don’t know if I’ll make another one for a while 🥲 they are so time consuming!!

[@Hjb0911]

Can you make more Pokémon videos

[@crochetbykittengrll]

I don’t have any Pokémon in my queue of next projects but I love making them and would love to make more!

[@tipi9046]

Je suis assez choquée de voir un tel engin électrique pour faire de la tapisserie, on dirait une arme de guerre ! lol, à vrai dire je n'en vois pas l'intérêt pour réaliser un tel ouvrage en laine, on est loin du savoir-faire artisanal manuel qui a toute sa noblesse et comme vous savez si bien le faire par ailleurs au crochet, c'est dommage. Bonne continuation et créativité 🙂

[@tipi9046]

PS : j'ai vécu chez un artisan tisserand qui faisait des petits tapis tuftés comme ça entre autres sur un métier en bois, je parle donc en connaissance de cause 😉, je pense qu'il aurait été aussi scotché que moi 🙂

[@jessezigg]

I'm a new subscriber. But are you gone? Is your channel "over?" That's a BUMMER. 😕

[@CrochetLover85]

omg!!! You are AMAZING!!!!
