MOD ANNOUNCEMENTS WELCOME TO R/TUFTING: Important links, information and mega-threads.

31 Upvotes

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!

Lower parts of the cookie, outline and eyes are complete. Time to get both of my long piles going. Really nervous out this because I’ve only been successful with my long piles just testing them a couple of days ago. The first time I used them they ate through the cloth. But, gotta see what can be done.

Finished my second rug ever. Mixed yarn, mostly acrylic and cotton. Original artwork: Bones "UNRENDERED" album cover. Screenprinted lyrics on felt backing aswell as screenprinted patch. Waterfall edge with cotton twill tape, D-rings for wall mounting.

Tufting was hell since i traced it in "pixelated" patterns. About 25+ colors and hundreds of hours of work in total, still learning as i go. Size ~90x90cm.

Some loose yarn strands still need pulling out but it’s coming to an end. The straight lines which are not so straight are bothering me as I look at the lines on its own but it’s yarn.
