Embroidery and Rug Tufting Help!

Hello!!

I was wondering whether anyone has any knowledge of how the tufting machine and gun works as I would love to tuft a small rug. Also is the embroidery machine back up and working?

@Martyn_Thomas I think you’re the right person to ask but please let me know if not!

Embroidery machine is still out of order - currently waiting on a part. I’ll up date you when there’s an update

Hi Hazel, :smiley: there are about 5 members that currently use the tufting gun in the space , let me know when you are in next and maybe I can introduce you to them ( if they are in ). Keep well . Brian D=

Hi Hazel,
I’m no expert at all, but I did use the gun just before Christmas to make a small rug. It was honestly pretty easy to get started, but I’m happy to help with anything or answer questions. I’m away this coming week but will/can be around the space after that.

Also I left a tub of glue in the screenprinting area to use at the end to fix the strands in place for anyone to use.

Hi Brian!! Thanks for the info, that would be great. I can be in Wednesday or Thursday this week at about 7pm, do you know if people would be around then? If not at the weekend!

Thanks Paul!!

It looks great! Thank you, I’ll definitely agree to your offer of help as always good to learn new things!

When do you think you’ll next be in the space?

I should be in next Wednesday, 29th. Normally all afternoon and evening.
