I didn’t even know people could make their own rugs. That’s such an awesome skill!

[@lilgrump9730]

... you didnt know people could make rugs?

[@sulkyblackheart]

@@lilgrump9730 typically they are manufactured in a factory and made by machines. So yes, I didn’t know that the everyday person could make their OWN rugs at home....

[@lilgrump9730]

@@sulkyblackheart if it can be maufactured in a factory whats stopping someone from making one at home. It isnt some sort of top secret formula. Do you think rugs were always mass produced in factories?

[@sulkyblackheart]

@@lilgrump9730 look dude, I was just trying to give the girl a nice complement. I like her work, I think she did a great job, and she made an interesting video about it. Obviously things weren’t always mass produced. It’s just nice to see ppl take the time and effort to make something themselves instead of just purchasing it in a store. I didn’t know anything about tufting before watching her video and that’s all I was I saying. It doesn’t need to be some philosophical debate where you try to make yourself look like you’re smarter than everyone else by belittling ppl over a simple compliment meant for the artist...

[@annachen5344]

Like this! I just got the gun on amazon B08PP3KJN4, hope I can make a carpet frame soon

[@chierii507]

Thanks so much for the specific products you list!! I'm just getting started with punch needling patches and rugs, but didn't know where to turn for specific adhesives and backings. I'd love to hear your thoughts on acrylic VS wool yarn usage too! The most I've heard is a cost VS durability discussion (acrylic being cheaper and more accessible via craft stores and wool just lasting so much longer).

[@freddieparsnip]

Making rugs has been something I’ve wanted to do for years!

[@ChristianFtw01]

Super helpful! im super new to tufting and I'd love to see how you use your cut pile gun bc I've been having trouble actually getting the yarn to actually go through the fabric!

Wow here I was thinking this sort of stuff required Either some computerized industrial machinery, or painstakingly crocheting or something individual little pieces of yarn one by one. Who knew there was a power tool to do it makes sense lol I think I've seen some rugs like this with designs that looked very home made. Your rugs are so cute!

[@almarodriguez8900]

Hi! I've been watching your videos for some time now and you have been so helpful in starting my tufting journey however, I was wondering if there was a spray or grease that you recommend using on our machine before we get started? Thank you!

[@chelsealavamonster]

Really looking forward to more videos! I want to get into this myself. Did you make your larger frame yourself? Would love to know how to make the frame!

[@AJMAKES137]

I hired a carpenter to do it for me. Traded her for a rug, actually! Tim Eads has a video on how to build a frame that I sent her for reference

[@hannahfyy]

thank you so much for all these helpful videos! did you need a plug adapter? I noticed the tuftinggun site mentions getting one.

[@raquelvm812]

Looking forward to your future tufting videos! Where is your large tufting frame from?

[@AJMAKES137]

I had a local carpenter make it for me! she followed this tutorial roughly kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKKviGt_mrh1gdk

[@joshfleming912]

Hmm I think this might have to be it I was really interested in rug making after seeing stuff on Instagram your video is very digest able and yours talented so I could pay attention and I noticed your finger tats and I have the same ones on my left hand synchronicities drive me so I think I’ll get into making my first soon

[@AJMAKES137]

love this! all about those synchronicities-they are what led me to tufting, too!

I only make punch needle rugs, but I wanna try this so bad omg!!

[@moneyheist2599]

lovely

[@bettyvogeley4956]

Thank you! Such an informative video. I was wondering, is it possible to tuft with “rag yarn”/ t-shirt “yarn”?

[@olivepaul4798]

I love the fonts you use! What families are they?

[@siannewman3680]

Hi AJ .... Thanks for video. Keep an coming!!! Quick question!! Do some or ALL guns need a compressor to work?

[@AJMAKES137]

No! Just the new AK-III. The other two available on tuftinggun.com (both loop and cut pile) do not require an air compressor

[@chuutheecomrade]

i wanna start start tufting so bad but its so expensive! i hope i am able to buy a starter kit, sell my rugs and make all the money i spent back lol. very nice video thank u!!

[@sruthichandrika4120]

Yes nice

[@Ricecakie]

Your rugs are sooo good! Do you sell them and if so where would one purchase said rug?

[@cruzianfibergeek]

This really peaked my interest. I love all the fiber arts , didn't even know tufting was an option. What are the advantages/disadvantages of cut pile vs loop? Thanks 😊

[@AJMAKES137]

The biggest advantage with cut pile is that you don't need to use scissors. With a loop pile, you have to trim the yarn after each line you tuft

[@valeriacampa1771]

hello, I love youre videos. I have a question ,whats better a cut pile or loop??

[@adyady4515]

I like your video :)

[@ashleytorres563]

Hi! First, i love your rugs~ Really adorable! Second, I'm finishing my first full test rug and I have a super small hole. I tufted in another area and was hoping to be able to glue that to the finished project. Does that seem... doable/right? I don't plan on using the rug as a floor rug but I still want to keep it! Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

[@legoduckie]

You could always hand-sew it in with carpet thread. Probably with a whip stitch

[@kalibaker8086]

Cool.

[@sydnidorsey]

thank you for this video! did the rugs you made already come out that thick or did you have to adjust anything in the gun? also when you thread is it safe two put two strings of yarn or just one?

[@AJMAKES137]

I use the default height on my gun (haven't changed it yet because I'm happy with the height). I often use two threads of yarn when I'm filling in space. It creates more yarn density, quickly. Then I'll use one string for detail work.

[@parentsdelegues4c450]

Hi AJ, that's very interesting. Thank you for sharing. What kind of yarn do you use? Is it special yarn or it can be the ones for knitting? What about natural or bio fiber? Thks. HM

[@jasonriofrio7105]

Can you make a video showing how to apply the backing

[@gongoozleriam9783]

Hi great job thanks for the video this is a really cool way to make art! Does it stay okay with people walking on it? Does it last long or would you want to keep it on a wall so as to not ruin it? I love the font you used for the writing! Do you have to draw backwards on one side to make it show up correctly on the other or is the front of the rug the side facing you like in painting? Thanks! 😊

[@AJMAKES137]

When you use the correct adhesive, they are safe to walk on! The only thing to worry about is them getting dirty. They can only be spot treated and cleaned like normal carpets are. No machine washing. And yes, you do have to draw the image backwards. I use a projector now, which makes it much easier!

[@dyutibasu4589]

This is such a great video for a beginner like me! So far I've been using a punch needle to make small wall hangings and was wondering if getting a tufting gun would save me time? How long do the rugs take to make with your tufting gun? And how long would these sized rugs take to make with a punching needle? Sorry if this is a weird specific question haha. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with us!

[@AJMAKES137]

A tufting gun will absolutely save you time if you are punch needling. I recently did a piece using both a punch needle and my gun (which is cut-pile, so it has a different look than punch needle). There are some things that the punch needle is better for, but you're going to get speed with the gun.

[@dyutibasu4589]

@@AJMAKES137 Thank you so much! Once I make enough sales punch needling I'll definitely invest in a tufting gun. Thanks again!!

what do you use to smooth the surface of the rug? can we use a regular hair clipper? great video btw!

[@rochivailati8220]

All the info was super useful! thanks a lot! what's the yarn thickness needed for the gun?

I use 3-ply wool and thread two strings at at time
