r/Tufting

3 ditto rugs, 2 slowpokes & 1 Charizard rug!

A rug made for my buddies birthday! It’s about 3 feet wide. Very pleased with the final result!

Biggest project I’ve made so far even though the pattern is quite easy to do.

What do you guys think? ☺️

I’ve postes it on my insta as well: @latelierdenam

I started this MJ rug today and I'm wondering how I'm going to get the hand outline right and also leave the space there should be behind it, at shoulder level, as seen in the picture of the back. Please help and tell me how I can do this.

Hey everyone I’m contemplating on getting the Clawlab rolling tufting frame and was hoping someone out there has any reviews on it. I really like the rolling and adjustable feature as I am interested in frames that can compress to a smaller size. I also have small children that are very curious, and I need something that I won’t be a potential safety hazard around them. I have a traditional tufting gun so I’m just seeing if anyone has used the frame or recommends it.

My roommates asked me to make awards for a concert they are putting on, after about 16 hours I got seven of them done 😅 let me know what yall think!

I've definitely made a lot of mistakes, including not leaving space between colors on the frame and not doing everything vertically... This complicated the separation of the colors... As for the cutting part, I have a lot of doubts, I tried with scissors but they are uncomfortable, the machine is convenient but I don't quite understand how much to cut, what angle to give, how to make everything homogeneous... What do you think? Do you have any advice?

I finally finished this mirror rug for Mother’s Day! It’s a wall hanging piece with a circular mirror in the middle. The back is some frame foamcore with a couple d-rings attached for hanging.

I’ve never attempted anything quite like this before, and it was definitely a fun learning experience! It’s not perfect, but I’m still happy with how it turned out (and, more importantly, I think my mom will be, too!).

I got the opportunity to create this artwork with students from the Texas School for the Blind and Visually impaired. The concept was to make something completely 3D dimensional so that it could be “seen” by touch alone. I have been experimenting with tufting these last couple of years and it played an important role in this art piece. Just wanted to share :)

I felt really good on my carving on this one! Haven't been doing this very long! This is my 7th rug and feel like finally a lot of the techniques are starting to click, didn't even punch one hole through the canvas once!!

Gonna be carving for the first time, any tips or tricks ?
