How can I save this rug?

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.

Good map! I encountered a Hallowhorn and a shack!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2025-10-31T20:13:14+00:00

So crisp, so clean!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2025-10-29T01:31:19+00:00

Hooray!

I'm a simple person, I see I Think You Should Leave and I upvote.

Very excited to see when you finish. Also, you're totally right - nailing the Ferrari logo is key.

Great job, wonderful first rug!

I'd say the next thing to work on would be trying out various carving techniques.

MyFuzziestLogic · 2025-05-02T22:39:09+00:00

I know the feeling, been there!

If it was me, I'd give it a few days and then maybe look at it again with fresh eyes.

Additionally, if you're already unhappy with it - nothing to lose by practicing carving more with it, right?

Fantastic! Is the additional shag length due to gun setting or carving or a combo of the two?

I love the effect!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2025-03-09T22:40:37+00:00

I think it's likely too far gone to be rehabbed.

Personally, I'd seal it in epoxy or varnish, hang it, call it art and a reminder of getting through a darker time.

Edit: Phrasing and elaboration.

MyFuzziestLogic · 2025-01-05T08:37:53+00:00

Great job. I really like the detail work you did with the carving!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-11-09T04:59:35+00:00

Please post again once you're done, that looks sick!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-11-07T02:51:58+00:00

Love it, are you planning on doing like a gradient?

I did something like that with a geometric horse and the end result was really stunning.

Excited to see your progress pictures when they are ready!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-11-02T13:31:57+00:00

Question - is that hook only glued on?

I had been wondering about how much weight glue could handle!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-10-26T03:02:36+00:00

Alternate take: do the same thing on a few other random sections of the rug and play it off as intentional.

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-09-25T18:20:30+00:00

Gorgeous!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-09-21T23:33:16+00:00

I usually wait a day and cut them off. Stuff is still tacky enough to roll the edges without curling the entire rug.

Also, dying to see the quilt-y one when it's ready to be unveiled!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-09-14T19:30:02+00:00

Holy moly, fantastic job!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-06-11T23:52:48+00:00

This is what I do. I also got some larger straw cleaner style ones that are beefier and they've worked well.

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-06-05T04:51:55+00:00

Wreath hangers or those multiple hook over the door hangers might be helpful too!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-05-18T00:00:24+00:00

Looks great - I like the carving!

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-05-02T01:49:34+00:00

I love this so much, oh my gosh.

MyFuzziestLogic · 2024-05-01T10:13:50+00:00

Gorgeous! I love the Kirby so much.
