I am getting into tufting and have a few questions.
- The tufting gun suggests the moving parts should be oiled before each use. Is there a little oil dropper I may use (perhaps from metal or woodworking areas) for this purpose?
- The nails on the frame have their heads facing out, which makes it less easy to put on and take off fabric. If you compare to commonly available frames for rug tufting, the nail pointy end faces out towards the end user. (See picture attached for reference). Does anyone mind if I snip off the nail heads to make it easier to take canvas on and off the frame? Again wondering if wood/metal working area has a tool I could use for this, assuming people agree.
- I bought some yarn to use, but I’d like to wind it onto a bobbin to make it easier. Does the space have a yarn winder? Another image below for reference. Searching discourse suggests yes (Knitting Machine Introduction), but I don’t know where it is.
Thanks in advance for your help and guidance
