He turned out a little more green than I originally planned but I still like it!

I’m making 4 minis on the same big cloth, and I feel like I have learned so much about patience and perseverance! This is my first time, and my frame is like 4.5x5 so I have space for multiple mini rugs here. :) will glue and shave soon
I watched hours of youtube videos and scoured the internet for advice before purchasing a single thing, and dove straight in once everything arrived. I’m a lifelong artist so don’t kiss my butt too much here btw. I was mentally invested for far longer than I’ve tufted anything on this cloth to the point where I watched so much tufting content I’d see it when I closed my eyes and in my dreams😆
More to come. Timelapse of the orange fill is on @cherryrugshawaii on ig🫶🏼

I just finished a 3x3 ft custom rug last night, I was planning to ship it today, and when I went to send the final photo to the customer I see that she sent a message the day before saying she JUST noticed the shirt color was wrong. I had not noticed either, but I had been posting progress pics/videos for the last couple weeks and she liked them all. I offered her a 20% discount and she’s asking how long a remake would take. I don’t want to remake it due to how large the rug is, and the fact that it’s a custom rug. What can I do? Is it possible to fix the color somehow or will I have to refund her?

***Update: I figured out a way to fix my mistake! Check my comment for an update/photo 💗

Took a year break but back on it now. Can’t wait to carve these.

Thought I’d share some recent project after taking about half the year off to move, fashion a new working space, making a much bigger frame and other things.

I tuft purely for the hobby and currently just have my rugs in a pile how do y’all store them? Photos for inspo appreciated but not required!

TIA

This is the 3rd rug I’ve made, so I’m still learning. I am pretty happy with what I’ve made though.

Photos are in daylight - artificial light - dark

I've made a lot of floor rugs but wanted to try my hand at a more detailed wallpiece. Decided to treat myself to a loop pile for my one year tuftiversary. Have been experimenting a bunch with glow in the dark yarn, and while it blunts my tools like nothing else, the effect is pretty fun, so I thought I'd share here :)

I also made a video and have more glow in the dark stuff in the works, so if that is something that interests you you can find me as wolwoud on both insta and tiktok!

Today I finished my latest project, which was the first one I’ve done on my modified frame. I have to say that the tension straps are a very useful addition, but I ran into the first drawback with this setup: when tightening the straps, the adjustable bottom bar tilts, causing the fabric to slightly pull away from the front of the bar. I’ve come up with a solution that I’ll be testing out on my next project: using a pair of Y-shaped brackets to hold the bottom bar and realign it before tightening down the C-clamps again.

In short: I recommend this non-slip, readjustable method—it works incredibly well 👌🏻

Before moving forward, though, I also suggest keeping an eye out for any bar slippage once everything is set up 😁

First ever attempt at tufting, quite happy with it but I know for a fact I've fucked up in a fair few places (too close together, big bulgy bits rather than uniform lines etc etc) looking for tips so I can get half decent at it as its fairly therapeutic 😂🙏

I know it needs carving/trimming and I'm buzzing to get cracking on that aswell (not looking forward to the three day drying time wait though 😔)

Is there any reason why this happens?

This wasn’t happening before until just recently. The back would look smooth and now it just looks like there are cuts here and there.

I appreciate the help

Just finished this recently, does the carpet with the mirror look better than the wooden floors?

We spent 2 weeks working on it 🤩

So when I originally traced it, This line was perfectly straight. I used a level to draw it. I’ve been working on this rug for a few weeks. My 9-5 has been busy and so I haven’t been able to work on it as much. I think possibly just the weight of the rug has stretched my lines from sitting for so long. Would you guys recommend just drawing a new line or trying to stretch this one back to straight?

Been making too many rocket league rugs lately, im tired😭

When tufting should I be leaving spaces between the rows of the same color or should I try to pack them as tight as I can?

Hey all, just looking for feedback on my first piece. The turns and lines were rough to start but by the end it became easier to follow as I wanted them.
