We recommend our Primary tufting cloth, which is 60% polyester, 40% cotton fabric with an open weave. It's durable enough for all machine tufting.
Organize your yarn.
We recommend choosing your colors before starting the tufting process. This will allow you to focus exclusively on tufting when you get started. Another tip is to label the shapes on the monk's cloth with the corresponding yarn color. Sometimes it can be confusing when your tufting.
Begin tufting.
You'll first need to know who to thread your machine.
Using your machine.
The two most important points are 1. Always apply significant pressure with the carpet tufting machine against the backing cloth. If consistent pressure isn't applied the yarn will be pushed towards you instead of away and will create inconsistent pile height. 2. Rotate the carpet tufting machine in the direction you want to go, keeping the foot in front. The foot is the curved metal part near the needle. ;
Finishing your rug.
After completing the tufting process your yarn tufts will need to be secured to the back. This is typically done with an adhesive of some sort. Any glue will work, but generally a carpet adhesive is used. The important thing is that the ends of the yarn are secured so they won't pull out of the backing. In addition to applying glue many people choose to stick a backing fabric onto the glue while it's still wet. This will vary depending on what the final application is. ;
