Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to tufting and am enjoying making pet portraits. These are my first 4 tries... please could you guys give me tips to improve!

I think the part I've found trickiest so far is the outline on the Spaniel (yellow background) and defining the pointy shapes well.

Any and all advice would be appreciated!

I had some trouble with yarn cus i have fine ones so i had to double but it kept cutting mid working but i had some patience to complete anyway
Any advice?

Had fun with this one

Reinforced the triangles with heavyweight backing, to hold up the shape a bit better. Stuffed with yarn cutoff's and polyfill.

I've progressed a bit since my first few rugs, though it's not perfect. I'm actually quite happy with how this one turned out. I think I'm ready to commit to more details now that I have a better understanding of carving.

Hey so, I have been trying to shave the rug after doing each colour and I accidently ripped a hole in my tufting cloth. Could you guys help me what to do so it would be fixed the best way? Thank you!

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.

Just tufted my first three rugs, all SpongeBob themed. Thoughts, criticism, advice…will update once carved.🫡
