this was SO helpful for a beginner like me. i have brain damage that impacts my cognitive learning, and tutorials that aren't super visual and don't explain every little detail are really hard to understand for me. this is maybe the 5th video i've watched on it and i finally understand how this process works!! thank you, tufting looks really fun and i think it'd be a great evolution for my artwork.

So right Dakato... All the videos forget to tell you major details. Have you heard "20 years in the Dakotas" by Hole? One of my all time favorite songs.

I can appreciate that. I was in a climbing accident with several small splinters of granite that broke off inside my temporal lobe. I learned to write again but my speech is not as good…and the headaches… I have so much trouble learning and relearning. I feel like a five year old in a college class for the simplest things. I saw these guns on Alibaba and thought I would check it out. The idea of making customer rugs for kids rooms that they design with crayon and paper…seems like a terrific way to pass my time…now that ‘they’ don’t trust me in the medical field anymore…life changes. We learn to cope.
9:48 The phenomenon that AJ Makes is talking about here is known as “metamerism” in the field of color theory. This is something more typically seen in neutral & near white colors. Two materials may appear to match under one type of light but not under a different light (sunlight vs. fluorescent for instance) due to the way the light refracts. In this case, the cut ends of the yarn seem to absorb some light causing it to appear dingy compared to the looped yarn which is reflecting more of the light causing it to be a lighter, cleaner color (think of the difference between a pile of glitter vs a sheet of metallic Mylar: the sheet of material will appear evenly shiney where only some of the glitter fragments will appear shiney as others will be angled in ways that don’t successfully reflect as much light & therefore look dark compared to their neighbors). It’s highly applicable in textiles as different fibers will also present this issue (for instance if you want to match white wool to white nylon: the natural wool will never be a bleached white, so to match the color, the nylon would actually have to be colored somewhat yellow and checked under different types of light. If you simply bought two materials labeled “white” the nylon will inevitably be whiter and brighter than the wool.
I thank you for your videos. I just ordered mine and some other things and got $76 off using your code!! I’m a single mom, I just lost my job. I was looking at doing this for months but was fearful but I jumped out there, put my credit card info in and hit pay(my eyes was closed) 😂. But seriously I prayed and I’m trusting. I’m so excited to tell the kids about the new business!! I can’t wait to get my items. Sorry for the long story, but I’m super excited about my new endeavor. Thanks again

As someone who’s merely an interior design student trying to get a visual to understand how tufting for carpeting and flooring works, this was extremely helpful! :)
I’ve been looking into adding tufting as a hobby along with including it in my artwork. This was extremely helpful. Such great advice! Definitely going to get a cut style vs the loop.
you have the best tufting videos. your explanations are concise and easy to watch. love your creations and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I'm definitely getting a cut pile, snipping after each line seems time consuming lol ✂️
This was a really legit and informative video. I'm helping my daughter do this, and we can now start learn-playing! Thank you!
This is the most helpful video I have ever seen in my life. THANK YOU!!
I'm super stoked with this video, thanks so much. I've decided to give tufting and punch needle a crack, I've been trying to figure out whether to get a loop or a cut, this video helped a lot.
I'm about to receive my cut pile and this was the perfect refresher that I needed! Thank you!

I ended up getting the loop pile because it was the only one available but u can get the cutpile look just changing the heigth of the loop and shearing it after the glue, its more work but it works 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I used your Magic15 last night. I ordered Loop tufting machine. I wanted watch this video before I deciding...
I thought I had to go with the loop gun when I first started but after this I'm glad I'm considering the cut pile gun over the loop gun! the look, price, and what I have in mind seems like the cut pile gun will be a lot better than a loop gun. at least starting off. thanks!
youre dope for putting this up & u answered all questions i had :) Thank U!

Would love to see how you would fix a hole when making your rugs!! By the way, one of my new favourite youtubers, love it and you 🤍🤍
I have a loop pile gun and love it. I just keep a tiny pair of scissors on a ball chain necklace around my neck. It helps. I deff need a cut pile gun too, though. Looks so fun.

Awesome video, thanks. Do they utilize the same amount of yarn?
My mom asked me what my husband I wanted for Christmas. Every year i say just worry about the kids. Or if you really want to things for my house. So the last 3 years. She has bought me stuff to build my craft room. As in i like to do everything. So she has bought embroidery machine, vinyl machine, then the last a press. So this year she already told me which is gonna be a tufting gun. She already got it in the mail. Now I see this video and didnt realize there were 2 different kinds. So now i have to check incase so we can send it back. Anyways. I love crocheting and have a good bit kf yarn. Someone gave me 2 bags full of vintage yarns. And I was going to give them to the nursing homes. But now I think I'll give half and keep half. Loll so does it matter what yarn is being used. I see lots of people using crochet acrylic yarn.
thank you so much!
I use a punch needle to make loop pile rugs so I'll probably get a cut pile gun, so I can do both kinds! :D I really only ever consider the finished product honestly, I'm fine with my needle taking forever lol

Sorry if someone has asked this, but are you able to shear a loop pile rug (like in your finishing videos)? It seems like this would essentially turn a loop pile rug into a cut pile rug, but maybe the shearing isn't as even as I'd expect and instead you'd end up with some mottled-looking finish? Thank you!!
thanks so much
Loved this video! I’ve been doing punch needle an love the tight neat look it makes and I like the shaggy look the cut pile gun makes. I’m wanting to order a gun and thought I would get the gun that does both style. It’s the weight that has me question it though😄. Money wise it seems more practical to get the 2 in one

Great video. Learned a lot. I would love to learn this craft. Thanks so much. 👍🏾💕
Thanks for the info. Cool that Tuft The World now offers dual purpose machines, I wonder if they are as reliable as the old single purpose units.
Can you do a project using both the loop pile and cut pile guns?
No vids on your frame? or yarn holder? would love to know about yarn holder especially
i think the loop pile is best for detailed works
hi there! Your video was so helpful! I ordered mine from Tufting world and it comes in today. I did however have a question and the internet was too helpful… I got Loop pile instead of cut, but if I shave my rugs will that give them the shaggy cut pile look? Or will it make me project fall apart and unravel?
i loved this!! i started with punch needle so i love the looped look so i got the loop pile gun! this video was so helpful, i really wanna get both

My gun converts to do either!
Hello, thanks for the information. I want to get started in this beautiful job of making rugs, I want to ask you where I can get the gun and if the adjusters are sold separately or is it a gun for each needle, that is, cut pile or loop pile.

If you are using #4 medium yarn, do you recommend using 2 strands of yarn?

Missing this info also. I assume it depends on the thickness of the yarn but some median indication would be really helpful.

Would you suggest the cut like one for a maker space?
have you ever used the pink model that does both cut and loop?

Hey I’ve been looking at buying my first tufting gun, and from what I’ve seen the cut pile is more for me, however I’ve seen that there are 2 in 1 tufting guns and for some reason are cheaper, is that because they aren’t as good ?
Can you tell us how long it takes to tuft a carpet with a simple design? (3.2 feet by 3.2 feet)
