protip...or rather, tip from personal experience. USE GLOVES AND WEAR A MASK when working with spray adhesives like gorilla and locktite. The VOCs in those can cause legit nerve damage. I have only regained partial feeling in the middle fingertip on my right hand and that was after a project I completed in may....of 2020. edit: in particular avoid any and all exposure (particularly skin and respiratory contact) to xylene compounds, trichloroethane, difluoroethane, and any resins in general. some resins will cause you to become allergic to them after only one exposure. I'm not one of those youtube commenters trying to say " YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG, AHH!" some of this is common sense and best practices stuff but this is a particularly insidious risk, because not a lot of people actually know how hazardous fixatives and spray adhesives can be.

Serioisly the SINLGE part I hate about YT DIY videos is all the self taught Americans who entirely ignore the health and safety aspects of making art. It's MANDATORY measures at any actual college class, for very serious reasons. Dying for your art is NOT nessecary in our age! Please be safe and considerate of viewers health. 🙏❤️ Lovely video!

Ok, so the "embroidery fabric" you were looking at is called Aida, and it was created & is used specifically for cross-stitch. Hand-embroidery is traditionally done on linen (or any even-weave fabric). Traditional hooked rugs are also done on a variety of evenweave fabrics, including monk's cloth, linen, burlap, or rug warp. I assume a rug tufting gun would also work on those fabrics, typically at 12 or 13 thread count. Just don't try to use *aida* for anything but cross-stitch. It's a weird, stiff fabric!

@Shop Last. I've been doing more rug hooking since posting this comment & learned some new stuff that made me think of what I said & worry if it was correct! Monk's cloth is similar to Aida in that it's a "basketweave" fabric, and Monk's cloth IS used for rugs! But looking at the video again, I'm still sure that was Aida. Monk's cloth looks similar, but wouldn't be so stiff. I think the one you called "Monk's cloth" in this video might have actually been "Rug Warp"? But I'm still not an expert on fabrics & every time I learn something new, I realize how many times I've been wrong! The white lines are a feature you'll see on Monk's cloth frequently, but it seemed to be single threads woven, instead of a 3x3 pattern like with monk's cloth and aida 🤔

Thank you so much! Of course you can ask! I'll always encourage questions on this channel! This rug took me probably 15 hours to do.

I think I used a total of like 8-10 rolls of yarn for this one!

@@shop_last It’s a pretty moderately large carpet, so 15 hours might be nice! The first of any projects always takes a bit more time, no doubt, but who’s in a rush?
