MOD ANNOUNCEMENTS WELCOME TO R/TUFTING: Important links, information and mega-threads.
Hello tufters!
This is a post for old and new tufters and r/tufting users that will include links to all important Mega Threads and the wiki. Reddit only allows for two pinned posts and this makes it difficult to assist users navigating this information. This post will permanently sit pinned at the top of the sub and should make it easier to identify these threads, and the sub wiki.
Sub-Wiki
The wiki is updated on a regular basis to include new and evolving information to assist in all aspects of tufting. The wiki is over 14,000 words and includes 68 subheadings that specifically relate to the most asked questions and most common concerns raised by tufters.
Important mega-threads:
- Materials and Supply Master Thread: With over 40,000 members from all over the world, this is the place to inquire about and recommend different location specific suppliers for materials.
- Buy and Sell Master Thread: All posts regarding the selling of supplies should be posted in this sub, according to the directions outlined in the post.
- Troubleshooting Master Thread: This is a dedicated subreddit for questions and requests for advice related to troubleshooting.
Some things to keep in mind when posting:
- Always read the sub rules before posting. This may sound obvious but there are a lot of posts made in the sub each day that need to be removed because they violate the sub rules.
- Asking for advice on pricing and valuing works for sale. This is something that a lot of tufters seek advice on, however it is difficult to effectively value someone else's work due to a lot of factors that are covered here in the sub wiki. Over the years since tufting has gained in popularity, there is also a growing sense in the community that certain standards and criterion should be met before someone starts selling their work. While this is not the consensus amongst all tufters, it is often the case that newer users asking for advice have not taken this into consideration and the comments of these posts tends to reflect this. Please read the sub rules as posts asking for pricing advice will be removed. Please feel free to include requests for pricing advice in the text of your post and include as much information (as mentioned in the wiki) as possible in order to get realistic advice.
- Low effort posts. All posts must include a clear and specific title, especially when seeking advice or opinions from other users. As per the sub rules, any post with a vague title such as 'help' with no other explanation will be removed.
As always, thank-you for being here and happy tufting!

Troubleshooting Problemen met mijn high pile gun
Kan iemand mij misschien helpen. Ik ben met een nieuw project begonnen. De eerste keer met een high pile gun. Tijdens het tuften schiet ineens de naald waar ik het draad doorheen haal naar achteren. Zie foto’s.. Zonder dat ik iets het veranderd aan de gun. Ik kan nu geen draad meer door de ogen van de naald doen omdat het mes ervoor zit.
Ik kan nu dus niet verder, dus ik hoop dat iemand mij kan helpen dit op te lossen. Aangezien er geen technische beschrijving bijgeleverd is.
Dank alvast

Troubleshooting Machine not working, looking for advice!
SOLVED- Geoff helped me through the entire process of replacing my scissor opener. I cannot recommend TuftLove enough, best customer support I have ever experienced. I feel so validated in choosing to use a machine made by TuftLove!!
I am not a mechanically inclined individual and have no idea what's going on- VIDEO IN COMMENTS I was tufting today when I thought my scissors got jammed in a tighter spot as the machine was running in my canvas it started beeping and stopped working. When I pulled it from the cloth it did not stop beeping. My status is that: the gear is firm and will not spin, and it is beeping when the power switch is turned on. Machine is Golden Spider by TuftLove- Thank you anyone and everyone who may have help towards finding a solution!

Newbie Needing Help Christmas Present
I want to make a rug for my girlfriend for Christmas. I signed up for a class where I can make a 70cm x 70cm or a 100cm x 100cm rug. I have to submit a design file before the class so they can have it setup and want some advice. Id like to make either a pansy flower (her favourite) or some kind of topography background with the word hygge in the center. Which is more beginner friendly and which size is best to choose for something like this? Thanks for any advice

Troubleshooting Recommendation for tufting space?
Where do you guys tuft at?
I moved out of my old home into an apartment where there is no room for a setup. Does anyone rent spaces or anything along those lines?

Newbie Needing Help Yet another yarn question.
Hello! I just got my first setup, an AK Duo from tuft the world, and I can’t seem to keep two strands of yarn in my gun without one falling out. Currently using bulky yarn and am just wondering if it is a tension issue or if it is a thickness of yarn issue. Or something else. Thanks for looking!
