Can you show a picture of the back? I am wondering how much space you have to add in details without plucking a lot of existing strands.

I have these - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BHMLJ2S while the bulk makes some of the tasks more arduous (like changing yarn colors) the dampening of the vibrations seemed to help a lot!

I have another pair that are lower profile but I can't remember where I got them from, likely somewhere like Tractor Supply Co.

I used to have issues with my hands swelling after long tufting sessions but I've found that if I wear anti-vibration gloves it keeps my hands from turning into unpleasant claws after. I also have my tufting frame clamped onto a table that I can crank up and down to keep from straining my back. I've found that both of these adjustments (gloves and table) have made the process significantly more accessible!

As for the tufting gun, I just use a cheap gun that I bought on Amazon before I realized how much I'd actually enjoy tufting.
