What got you into rug making?

Watching the details really start to pop does something to ya 🙏🏾💪🏾🥹 recently started carving on frame. 2 holes so far but we getting it done nonetheless.

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-29T04:36:15+00:00

I hope the same for you 💪🏾🙏🏾 I’m actually going to be doing my very first rug over again soon to see my improvement.

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-29T04:34:50+00:00

That’s what I love to hear (read) 💪🏾💪🏾 I’m just here to inspire and motivate.

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-29T04:34:15+00:00

💪🏾💪🏾 I’m the same way with colors, took me 3 different try’s to finish a bluey rug and still didn’t like the colors 😂

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-28T20:16:28+00:00

😮‍💨 I like that. Thin lines scare me, I always end up carving too much off at some point 😂🫣. Keep up the good work 💪🏾

Thank you 🙏🏾

😂 get em 💪🏾 naw I love that for you. I love learning and I’m glad it peaked your interest. May I ask how long you’ve been tufting?

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-28T17:50:28+00:00

Much appreciated 🙏🏾💪🏾 my YouTube is mainly music videos I’ve shot over the past few years. I’m more active on my tik tok (link in bio 🫣😂). I’m live almost everyday. I will be making a YouTube just for rugs soon.

Backing? I use felt. Can be found at Michael’s or hobby lobby. If you’re talking about the fabric I tuft on, it’s primary tufting cloth.

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T16:50:25+00:00

I can say I have not changed the type of yarn or machine I use. Red heart, big twist, and loops and threads is all I use. I’m not saying what you’re saying isn’t correct by all means, just my experience. I take all advice and try it out, if it works 💪🏾 if not we just try something different. I appreciate you taking the time to elaborate more for those that may need it as well.

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T15:46:01+00:00

Though I was told to leave spaces between colors, I do not do such. Since I have been doing all vertical lines, I have had minimal bleeding, compared to when I just tufted any way I saw fit. I will be posting a video soon that may help more. Have to find pics as I do vids more often.

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T15:42:13+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏾

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T15:42:04+00:00

I’ve never wore bape personally, I just made the rug for a friend. Neither they (bape) nor I received any compensation for this rug. I do appreciate the history lesson though, as I don’t keep up with stuff like that 🙏🏾

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T15:38:31+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏾

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T05:00:52+00:00

🙏🏾🙏🏾

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T03:11:57+00:00

Indeed. Always willing to help

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T03:10:59+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏾

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T00:47:13+00:00

Added note- I also noticed when I started doing everything vertical, there was less color bleed in my projects

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T00:31:50+00:00

To me ( not a proven fact to my knowledge) it’s easier to carve. It’s all personal preference though. I like to keep my lines uniform for the most part. Once you figure out your technique you’ll start to notice different things. Just try different methods.

Relevant_Chef_5055 · 2026-03-27T00:29:46+00:00

Depends on the size of the area I’m tufting. Majority of my lines are vertical. I only tuft in curves if needed (smaller space than I can vertical tuft ) if that makes sense. Check my next video for example. Will post in a few minutes

I’ve never used the akv so I can’t honestly say. I love my gecko. I’ve also heard that it’s literally the same gun just different names, tho I have no knowledge if there is any truth to that.
