36" diameter

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!!

I’ll take any feedback

How should I fix this red line? I should have used more red yarn, but I didn't. Now I am not sure how to fix this.

We are completely, 100% obsessed with tufting cushions right now. Like, we literally cannot stop making them!!! We've been playing around with deep and creams. We went for a chunky checkerboard pattern but decided to mix it up by adding theses wild, shaggy fringe stripes for some extra texture.

Hey fellow tufters :D I still have not given up on turning tufting into a lifestyle, so I thought it'd be fun to share a little update with you all.

I opened an Etsy shop about a month ago and recently got my first two orders. I'm still figuring out pricing and shipping costs (international shipping is brutal haha). So while I am finding ways to make my work profitable, I am really happy there are people out there who appreciate the craft and want my art in their homes!

As someone who has been a painter and illustrator struggling to get by and got stuck in more than one office job along the way, this makes me very hopeful and happy even if it's small steps. Most of all tufting is still a lot of fun and I am excited with every piece that comes out of my hands, so love to share the joy and the small wins here.

I'm also finishing up a YouTube video tufting a big rug, hopefully that will be ready soon so I can share a bit more behind the scenes type stuff for whoever is interested.

In any case, hope you are all enjoying your tufting adventures as much as I am. If you have any tips or ideas, please let me know!
