About TuftFixer
From Frustrated Beginner to Rug Tufting Pro
Hi, and welcome to TuftFixer.
I started my rug tufting journey just like many of you: excited to make my first rug, but immediately confused by the technical issues.
My first week was a disaster. I bought the wrong cloth (it tore instantly), my scissors stopped cutting, and I spent more time unjamming my gun than actually tufting. When I looked online for help, I found plenty of “satisfying” videos, but very few guides on how to actually fix things when they went wrong.
I realized there was a gap.
I created TuftFixer.com to be the resource I wish I had when I started. My mission is simple: to help you troubleshoot your machine, choose the right materials, and finish your rugs professionally without the stress.
What You Will Find Here:
- Troubleshooting Guides: Step-by-step fixes for common issues like yarn falling out, cloth tearing, and gun malfunctions.
- Honest Reviews: Comparisons of glues, fabrics, and equipment based on real-world use, not just specs.
- DIY Solutions: Plans for frames and tools to help you save money while you learn.
Whether you are working on your first coaster or a 5-foot commission piece, I hope these guides help you keep your gun running and your creativity flowing.
Happy Tufting!
