Introduction to the course and tufting

In the first section, we explain how the online tufting workshop works and where you can find everything. This way, you can find your way around easily and get to the content you are looking for as quickly as possible. In addition, you will also find a voucher code for our online shop on Tuftinglove.com here in the first section, so that you can already stock up on enough material.

We continue with the structure of a tufted rug, so that you understand which components come together here. This is great for knowing what to buy and what you need the individual materials for.

Finally, in this section, we'll show you some important points to keep in mind when selecting and handling your tufting material. With these tips in mind, you're sure to succeed with your first project.

Machines and materials

In the first part of this section, you will get a comprehensive overview of the different types of tufting machines and which ones are suitable for beginners. Since the machines work differently, you will also get different results. We will show you the different ways tufting machines work and what the carpets look like with them. You will learn everything you need to know to make super fluffy or beautifully smooth carpets with visible structures.

In the second part of this section, we will go into the individual materials in great detail so that you can get a feel for their differences and design your first personalised rug exactly the way you want it.In the second part of this section, we will go into the individual materials in great detail so that you can get a feel for their differences and design your first personalised rug exactly the way you want it.

There is a wide range of different tufting machines.

Tuft your first rug

Now it's really starting. You now know all the important theoretical parts of tufting and can start tufting your first rug online with me! We will proceed step by step, just like in one of my on-site courses. We will learn how to stretch the frame correctly and how to apply our designs to the tufting fabric. I will show you how to use the tufting machine correctly and what to look out for when using it on the fabric. Finally, in this section, I will share a few important extras with you about loop pile. This type of tufting is a little different from the better-known cut pile variant, and you should also know what is important to consider here to get the best result for your DIY rug.

Workshop project

In the workshop project section, you will find all the information about the materials I used for the rug in this tufting online workshop. This way you can recreate the project exactly, or simply be inspired by details from it and put together your very own rug using other elements from our online shop. Since you have seen from the previous section how these materials come together to create a rug, you now have a feel for what you want to use for your project and what not. Take your time to go through our shop at Tuftinglove and use the voucher code from the first section to put together your perfect shopping cart.

Bonding, cutting and shaving the carpet

Tucking the yarn into the weave with the tufting machine is one thing, but it takes more to turn the rug into a finished work of art. In this section, I'll show you how to finish your rug. After gluing the back, there are a few more options for adding a personal touch to your DIY rug by trimming and shaving it. There are various tools and design options for this, which I'll introduce to you here.Tucking the yarn into the weave with the tufting machine is one thing, but it takes more to turn the rug into a finished work of art.
