HOW TO PATCH A HOLE IN YOUR TUFTING FABRIC | a proven approach for fixing tears while tufting
Переглядів 38 тис.3 роки тому
We've all been there... the dreaded tear in the fabric! I always say, the best way to fix a hole in your tufting fabric is to not make one in the first place 🥴 But fear not! I've used this approach a few times now with perfect results. All you need is some embroidery floss, a curved needle, and a LOT of patience.

    The fabric you’re calling monks cloth is called aida (used for cross stitching) and the fabric you’re calling “tufting fabric” is called monks cloth. I don’t know how you got those mixed up so badly, but I kind of blame the website you’re depending on for your information, because $70 for 2 yards of monks cloth is insane. They’re robbing you blind. I just paid $10 for 2 yards of high quality 72” wide monks cloth a couple months ago. It’s not hard to find a more reliable economical source. But for the love of everything sane, call things the right name. If you don’t know, look it up or ask questions. Videos like this that have misinformation spoken with authority just confuse people. Otherwise, your rugs are gorgeous and thank you for the backing video. It’s very useful.

    Nothing personal, but that website and recommendations are 3-4x way over cost. You’re paying way too much. Actually, you’re being scammed imo. Those two guns are NOT different guns. You’re being sold a single part missing from the other that literally comes standard with all tufting guns. The piece is removable to choose between cut and loop etc. it’s a quick 30 second change. This website is charging you 4 times the cost of a single gun that does both by standard. SMH…. I feel like this is actually your website and grossly overpriced. And that fabric is NOT a high quality fabric…..

    Figured I’d share with you- as far as oiling the machine goes do NOT use sewing machine oil! You can actually shorten the life of your gun. Sewing machine oil is meant to make things sticky. It is made of minerals. You def want to use an oil that makes things slide. I use an oil frm amazon called “3 in one” oil. Sewing machine oil will make your machine gunky

    I used to watch sheep being sheared when I was young. Because sheep no longer have the ability to "shed" their wool seasonally, they were bred to retain all the wool, they have to be sheared. It looks kind of violent, and they're definitely not keen on the entire process, but leaving them unsheared is now dangerous to their wellbeing. I'm a little perplexed at the "unethical" methods you've mentioned, at least in Australia and New Zealand they employ tried and true methods safely. Any skin grazes caused by the sheep struggling while being sheared are treated before they're released after being shorn. A good shearer doesn't hurt them, but certainly has to hold them very firmly to avoid any unfortunate shallow cuts, but it's backbreaking work for the shearer and some sheep are particularly active. As someone who loves animals, my first concern when watching this process, live, for the first time, was "are they okay? does it hurt?" and apart from "shaving nicks" which happen occasionally, it isn't "unethical" and causes no lasting hurt or harm. Alpaca have to be actually trussed and tied, otherwise the shearer will get kicked to death, if the animal is uncooperative. Experienced shearers will ALWAYS have super sharp shears - which are just like knives; you'll cut yourself badly on a blunt knife because it will slip instead of cutting, and despite how disturbed the sheep look, they aren't being hurt usually.
