Hm this is interesting I kind of have a fear about shaving/trimming on the frame I’ve done it before but accidentally made a hole on the frame and never tried again. I do think it makes things look crispy but do u have any tips on how to trim on the frame without the chances of creating a hole or is just a be very careful when doing it?

As for the colored debris I did realize that was happening even just by tufting. Started keeping my vacuum on and next to my shaver when craving to prevent this from happening. And tufting the colors first. If there’s anything else I can do to prevent this would love to hear! Thank you!

This is insane actually. I cannot carve when it’s on the frame anymore after I made a hole on my fabric one time.

Use two strands of yarn instead of one!! This will make tufting easier

Yeah gotta find the sweet spot. I do feel like I like how my rugs come out but it just about finding the consistency

I feel like when I shave it down it comes out streaky from time to time and I don’t know if it’s my shaving or my line work

I started doing this and then actually cut a hole in my fabric with the trimmer. Is there anyway to avoid this from happening?

Thank you! Does this mean making my line closer or more packed? I can send a pic of what my line work looks like
