MOD ANNOUNCEMENTS WELCOME TO R/TUFTING: Important links, information and mega-threads.
29
Upvotes
Hello tufters!
This is a post for old and new tufters and r/tufting users that will include links to all important Mega Threads and the wiki. Reddit only allows for two pinned posts and this makes it difficult to assist users navigating this information. This post will permanently sit pinned at the top of the sub and should make it easier to identify these threads, and the sub wiki.
Sub-Wiki
The wiki is updated on a regular basis to include new and evolving information to assist in all aspects of tufting. The wiki is over 14,000 words and includes 68 subheadings that specifically relate to the most asked questions and most common concerns raised by tufters.
Important mega-threads:
- Materials and Supply Master Thread: With over 40,000 members from all over the world, this is the place to inquire about and recommend different location specific suppliers for materials.
- Buy and Sell Master Thread: All posts regarding the selling of supplies should be posted in this sub, according to the directions outlined in the post.
- Troubleshooting Master Thread: This is a dedicated subreddit for questions and requests for advice related to troubleshooting.
Some things to keep in mind when posting:
- Always read the sub rules before posting. This may sound obvious but there are a lot of posts made in the sub each day that need to be removed because they violate the sub rules.
- Asking for advice on pricing and valuing works for sale. This is something that a lot of tufters seek advice on, however it is difficult to effectively value someone else's work due to a lot of factors that are covered here in the sub wiki. Over the years since tufting has gained in popularity, there is also a growing sense in the community that certain standards and criterion should be met before someone starts selling their work. While this is not the consensus amongst all tufters, it is often the case that newer users asking for advice have not taken this into consideration and the comments of these posts tends to reflect this. Please read the sub rules as posts asking for pricing advice will be removed. Please feel free to include requests for pricing advice in the text of your post and include as much information (as mentioned in the wiki) as possible in order to get realistic advice.
- Low effort posts. All posts must include a clear and specific title, especially when seeking advice or opinions from other users. As per the sub rules, any post with a vague title such as 'help' with no other explanation will be removed.
As always, thank-you for being here and happy tufting!

This is my second sardine rug I’ve made. I attached the first silver roll with a rough sew job the first time but didn’t like how it looked on the back. Any advice? I tried a rivet gun but the fabric isn’t strong enough. Worried metal grommets will also fall through.

Experienced Tufter Reminder: FLIP YOUR IMAGE
37
Upvotes
Long story short, my stepdad asked me to make a rug of for his fraternity. Finished it, delivered it to his house and he was very happy with it. But then he called me after I left to tell me the order of the Greek letters were backwards…..
Of course I felt like a dummy, but he just put the rug infront of a full length mirror and everything is all good.
BUT PLEASE NEVER FORGET TO FLIP YOUR IMAGE IF IT HAS LETTERS IN IT!!

Advice TPU or tufting glue
3
Upvotes
Hi!
I have a question regarding glue and was hoping some of you are able to give me some insights regarding this.
Currently I am working on some 80x80 carpets, but am going through my tufting glue very quickly.
After some investigation I saw that clawlab uses TPU powder glue and a heatpress. However I don't see it advertised anywhere else to seal up the back of your projects.
Does anyone have experience with TPU powder and how well does it seal the backing of your carpet?
Any advantages or disadvantages that I should take into account?

Just wrapped up this 35" × 30" Mewtwo rug!
Probably one of my more detail-heavy projects so far. The lightning and linework definitely tested my patience 😅 the lettering def needs more practice but overall pretty happy with the final result. Let me know what you think!

I drew this Gengar on my iPad and brought it to life as a tufted Rug. My largest rug yet, and no doubt my best work so far. Took a while and I procrastinated on carving for a bit because of the size but It’s finally finished 🥴
Again I Drew this myself and added my own flare so please do not duplicate it. It is a 1 of 1. Inspired by Sabrina’s Gengar.
