  • A quick video I shot to show you how to build a frame for rug tufting. It's a fast build from simple materials found at a local hardware store.
    This frame is 72" x 72".
    Materials needed:
    2" x 3" x 96" lumber (5 needed and cost about $3.00 each)
    Carpet tack strips (6 strips total needed, packs of 3 cost $2.50)
    2.5" long screws for frame construction
    1.25" long screws for leg braces
    Total cost was approx $25
    More information can be found at www.tuftinggun.com

    Thanks for taking the time to show this!!! I'm thinking King abouttwking this and modifying the braces so that you can wing nut different sized frames in!!

    Mr. Eads! I have been scouring the internet for 3 years looking for a videos, blogs, ect. for hand tufting rugs from start to finish. I haven't started on this project because I couldn't find instructions for making the frame. I google some more today and first result is my middle and high school art teacher :) Thanks for uploading these!

    I have one like that except it's an antique. It looks like huge yardsticks, with fine wires to grab the material, and the frame is bolted together at the corners using wing nuts.
    But yours is better because it's on wheels.

    Hello,
    Do you use anything to keep it from sliding across the floor or do you tuft with it against the wall? Also, when will you have the premium cloth restocked on your website? I am looking to purchase both the tufting gun and the cloth.

    Hi.. I am new to rug tufting and I have a question. After you stretch the tufting canvas on the frame do you need to attach something more to secure it or is the carpet tack enough for the material to hold in place? Thank you!

    Thank you! This was extremely helpful! I just purchased my first cut pile tufting gun from you! I can't wait to get started!! Do you have the approximate measurements for each section of the leg braces? My hardware store will cut the wood for you as long as you give them a measurement.

    THIS IS SO AWESOME! I have never heard of the carpet tack strips before, I am tufting by hand with the danella needle and spend SO much time on putting nails into my cloth.
    I hope I can get hold of the tufting gun somehow - maybe i'll need to travel to the US for your workshops. When will you announce 2020 dates?

      @@onism3053 i'm playing around with my tufting gun and set-up atm. i couldn't imagine one side not being taut.
      i think an alternative method might be to make sections and connect them together with glue and strips of material to overlap the two pieces, then the final backing might be strong enough to hold it all together. (or use the edge of one side to overlap, glue down, then final backing.)
      i think i better understand what the original question is, but then the problem would be restretching the material, and the already completed area would be in the carpet strips, inviting disaster.

      @Jimbobc111 3 роки тому

      The red piece is the carpet tack strips he mentions in the description. Its covered in tiny nails and that's what the fabric sticks to! But yes you're just jabbing it on those.
      I've seen a few people recommend putting something over the tack strips once the fabric is on so you don't accidentally stab yourself!
