New to tufting- trying to get the basics. any tips?

Hey there! as the title states, I’m new to the tufting community. I’ve had this gun for nearly 3/ half years now, I asked for a frame/gun kit but my grandma only got the gun— any way, I finally got to making my own frame after no one bought me one for the following Christmasses😭😭 it’s about 36x36 which I think is a good starting point for me since I’m new. I plan to buy a projector and a shaver, but is there any thing else I need? Does the gun only work with a certain weight of yarn? I know I see people use multiple strands.

Another question I had was about thinner lines. How do people go about them? I want to use thinner yarn but that goes with my first question, since I don’t know how this works exactly.

My last question, I keep seeing the clawlab gun everywhere. For experienced users or someone who’s worked with both, which do you prefer?

Thanks! If anyone has any advice to leave in the comments anything helps!!

Hi! I have this front section of my hair I have no clue what to do with. Idk if it’s safe to cut it, the rest of that part of my hair DOES get curly just not as significant as the top piece and my hair is probably past my ass so it might look weird to cut- I don’t typically wear my hair down but if I do it looks so ugly how this part just poofs out and I wish the rest of my hair had the same texture as this front piece at the top with curls and to get rid of this wavy length😭😭😭 any help?? Also it looks straight but I haven’t done my hair so it looks that way
