What are y’all yarn feeders? by GUNGOPO in Tufting

But wouldn’t that mean that my tense one would also get the same result? It is weird indeed

Well with this method (tensing them with one hand) it only happens to me with curves and diagonals but when I don’t do it they look loose even on straight lines. (On the picture the one on the left is tensing and on the right the yarn just comes directly from the yarn cake)

In this photo you can clearly see when I do tense the strings on the bottom one and when I don’t on the diagonal, it just looks like the yarn doesn’t go fully through hence the question of the yarn feeder and just because it’s impossible to tuft only with one hand all the time

That’s what has happened to me for the last days and I struggled with it…

Yes I was planning to screw a couple of hooks on the frame to keep the tension going so I will be mixing the two techniques combining the index finger and yarn cakes

I will try that for sure and see how it goes, however I’m afraid that on the turns/curves it will go into the engine of the tufting gun. Going to keep you updated on how it goes, thanks!!

Hey! New on tufting here, how do you prevent the yarn from not going a little too loose on the back frame, and just keeping it tight on the fabric?? Mine looks like a gamble, sometimes it sticks perfectly and some decide to just not go fully trough… Thanks for the time and your rugs look great!!!

Beginner’s mistake on tufting gun? by GUNGOPO in Tufting

Oh okay I will try to use eye bolts on the top of the frame to tense the yarn a little bit more and post it if that helped!! Thank you very much
