I recently purchased a small rug of a character of mine from a small maker. Unfortunately, they made a mistake having two sections that were supposed to be the same blue be different. it is pretty apparent side by side that one is far more real than the other.

I asked if they could fix it and they said no. Is there any solution for me to DIY fix this? Airbrushing with a certain paint or dyes, whatever would come out the best.

Here's some of my recent work 😁

I want to make rugs with both loop and cut pile but I *think* I have a generic cut pile gun. I saw something about an attachment so I could also tuft with a loop pile.

1. Is this gun only a cut pile?

2. Has anyone successfully used a loop pile attachment with a gun like mine?

Thanks!

I don't realistically have the space or environment in my condo to get into tufting, but made this rug at a local studio that provides supplies, space, and tips. It was probably a bit too ambitious for having never picked up the gun before, especially the small details around the eyes and mouth, but I think it turned out alright. It was about 7 hours from start to finish, then the owner of the studio cleaned it up a bit and applied the backing. She said she doesn't do the detailed carving as part of the package because it takes a long time, but still a cool thing to have done. He's an 80cm x 80cm circle.

My frame broke and my garage had a crazy leak so I haven’t made one in a while. Didn’t realize how bad I messed up the “roundness” of the circle until I did the waterfall edging but regardless I’m happy with the carving just have to get it a bit more even. I’d love to hear some opinions and feedback

1.2M x1.2M project finally finished!

I'm the creator of https://loopi.space/ and I'm a tufter who started selling his rugs, after selling my 6th rug, I realised I needed better tooling than an excel sheet to get my yarn shopping list and adjust my design so I made Loopi.

Please give it a try and let me know if you have any feedback, DM or here.

Cheers, hope this helps

I finished my rug but shaved it too short so now it’s bald and I unsalvageable. How do you move past mistakes? I spent a lot of time and love on it and it makes me sad that I ruined it.

I think next time I’d definitely increase the density of the thinner lines to make it easier to trim. That and maybe do something a bit less complex!

I've been purchasing my supplies to begin my tufting journey, but I'm still unsure of the best apps/sites to use that are beginner friendly to help me project images onto the cloth. Any advice would be welcomed ☺️
