I am about to attempt a sonic rug and minnie mouse rug with the pink and white polka dot bow. If you do either or both one day...that would be cool!!

[@mariahcapri]

could you do a video on how you ship your rugs?

[@iamthealphabet]

Yes!! I have one on my Instagram but I will put one up on KZbin! 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

[@breadly6557]

Wow, you're so good at detail work🔥 Love your videos, they're educational and have a great vibe❤

[@iamthealphabet]

Thank you so much! So glad you like my videos! 🫶

[@losavage_2174]

Love watching your pieces come to life!! Such an amazing process🤩

[@iamthealphabet]

Thank you so much! This was a nostalgic one to make ! The balloon dogs were so much fun too!

[@SimplybeingR]

I look forward to your videos!! Great minds think alike. I had been thinking about trying a rug like this when I get more experienced. So glad to see that you did it first so that I gave a great teacher to learn from!!❤

[@iamthealphabet]

Go for it! Ain't nothing to it but to do it!

[@jayonshop]

This was an awesome video to see the whole process of your rugs! Love it! Also, congrats for you and Tim on the baby girl :-) that is awesome news!

[@iamthealphabet]

Thanks so much! 😊 we are so excited !!! 🎉 glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Princess-vh8qr]

Love this!

[@iamthealphabet]

❤ thank you

[@Nova_Oddities]

When you use the screws for the D rings are you able to feel the points in the front? Love your work as always oh! and Congratulations on baby!

[@iamthealphabet]

These screws are so small! You can't feel them unless you're actively looking for them! I sometimes will use an additional piece of felt between the backing and the screws so it can't be seen or felt at all!

[@Netty7787]

Love your work

[@lindatidwellsewingclass8174]

Hi Great work! How do you not have any yarn strings hanging on the back? I've see a lot of videos of rug tufting and yours is the only that don't end up with a lot of yarn ends hanging. Thank you!

[@propheticprincessdaughterofGod]

Hi love your work and tutorials. Where do you get the labels to iron on please?

[@1.2-3_4openyris]

Hello, love your work do you photoshop images before applying to canvas ?

[@iamthealphabet]

Hi! Yes I use Adobe procreate to vector my artwork

[@1.2-3_4openyris]

@@iamthealphabet thanks for the reply 👍🏻

[@lyricalstorms]

Excellent video! Thank you for sharing your technique with us. Where do you get your labels?

[@dizz3823]

Love your videos. Was wondering what type of tufting gun you used? Cant seem to find any good recommendations. Thanks again.

[@iamthealphabet]

I use the ak1 cut pile and ak2 loop pile machines from tufttheworld . Com (use code "janna15" to save you some good $$!)

[@bobbymemes]

Wow 👌

[@RareRugs]

Amazing🔥🔥

[@iamthealphabet]

Thanks 🔥

[@sllimjiim]

I would love to see a SpongeBob jus for fun 🤣‼️

[@rootgirlroot]

Can you tell me what hoover do you use? Thanks in advance for your help 🙂

[@daisya8649]

SICK!😍👏🏾🙌🏾❤x

[@jayonshop]

Do you used cut pile or loop pile??? I had doubts😊

[@iamthealphabet]

I actually have 2 cut pile machines and 1 loop pile machine! Both from tufttheworld. Com & I have a discount code too if you wanted to grab yourself a machine! "Janna15"

[@darienjacintho5713]

Did you use 4 strands when doing your outline

[@iamthealphabet]

Always 2!

[@peytrabrown4582]

0:50 hey please tell me what kind of cloth you are using… 😊 thank you

[@Effin_Pancakes]

Amazing work! I have 2 questions, what are the dimensions of your frame? For the outline on the Looney Toons rug, did you use single feed on the yarn? Or 2 string feed? The outline looks fantastic and very skinny, it looks almost like single string. Any info is greatly appreciated.

[@iamthealphabet]

Hey! Thank you for the support. This frame is 9ft tall with 7 ft x 5ft usable space . I ALWAYS use 2 stands, never single !

[@Effin_Pancakes]

@@iamthealphabet, you’re welcome, and thank you for the info. I appreciate it.

[@angelaj2771]

Could you do an easy rug for a beginner to practice?

[@theDAWNofNEWday]

Thank you for sharing! I am just learning and self teaching myself and found your videos. Do you trim your rugs between each color while it is on the frame? I tried trimming around a pupil and cut my canvas. 😢 It also takes so much time to trim between each color. I would love to see how you blend colors. I want to use a photo of my pet and make a rug. Thanks again! You inspire me & excellent video.

[@iamthealphabet]

Thats so awesome! Glad to hear youre a fellow tufting artist!! Sometimes I trim / carve my work but majority of my pieces are hyperdetailed and it's much too challenging to carve so I use my carpet planer for one uniform level & then hand trim the edges of my rugs !

[@iamthealphabet]

I have a bunch of rugs on my Instagram that show my blending & shading skills! @iamthealphabet 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼✨️

[@theDAWNofNEWday]

Thank you so much for the response. Yes that makes sense with the trimming. I will look up your Instagram channel too. Happy tufting! 😊

[@thehumplik722]

You use acrylic yarn?

[@yrem4324]

Hello, is that acrylic or wool rug?

[@iamthealphabet]

Hi!! The yarns used on these 3 pieces are all acrylic. I prefer acrylic, wool and not so much cotton yarn

[@paulnino33]

How long did it take you to get this good at tufting? Im about 10 small rugs in and I find that I have colors intertwining everywhere. Is there any tips on how to create more detail without intertwining the colors ?

[@hastalavista1331]

Hi alphabet , can i know how many aply yarn u always used

[@MarijuanaMike]

🎉🎉🎉🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@iamthealphabet]

Thanks, Mike! 👍

Newbie venturing into customized rugs

[@miguelcarrera6421]

How do you maintain the colors from mixing with each other?

[@via3652]

Where did u get you iorn lables from

[@TheAcrnm]

Awesome video! What count is your charles cloth?

[@iamthealphabet]

Thank you! The packages say 7 count, but it's 4ply threading. So 4 x 4 threads per weave !

[@sandralemons2640]

Do you have a video that shows everything needed to begin?

[@iamthealphabet]

Yes I do! It's titled ULTIMATE supply guide I believe!

[@niyanelson1138]

Was this a cut pile gun?

[@aurelmuntean8086]

Hi.I wanna ask it is legal to sell a rug if represent a cartoon or anime character ?Let's say Jerry from Tom and Jerry or...Batman?Thx

[@ReaganLema-nf2my]

How did you learn how tuft rugs?

[@iamthealphabet]

100% self taught ! I've been doing this almost 3 years

[@matusmiltak7438]

how long did you make all three rugs??

[@iamthealphabet]

About a week of tufting (doesn't include the finishing part)

[@tmo6517]

Curious to know what you charge for this?
