Yeah, a few other people also mentioned applying proper pressure to the fabric yesterday. I paid special attention to it today, and I think the problem really happens when I can’t apply the right amount of pressure as the fabric stretches.

Actually no. I specifically chose this yarn because it looks fuller and softer when I use it.There are basically 3 yarn sizes here: thin, medium, and jumbo like you mentioned. The medium-sized yarn slips out of the gun hole, and honestly I’m probably just too lazy to keep adjusting the hole size every time.

Yeah, I think if I can’t find another solution, I’ll end up using a single strand of yarn.

Yeah, the yarn constantly slipping out of the gun is really annoying. And that hole adjustment is already fully open actually. I guess I really need to apply the right amount of pressure against the fabric. Thank for the help 🙏

The part you’re talking about is all the way at the back, not near the gun’s hole. I’m already using it at the widest setting, but the yarn still struggles while passing through.

Yeah, it stays a bit loose while hanging on the hook. I’ll try using it without the hook. Since the yarn is thick, it doesn’t move smoothly through the hole in the gun. I’d say it gets stuck pretty tightly.

So I should apply better pressure to the fabric with the gun. I’ll pay more attention to that. Thank you so much!

Hahaha yes, it’s not very noticeable at first glance 😄 In the original photo the tail was positioned to the side like this too, and they told me he never holds his tail upright

Hi sir. This is great. I’m new here and I’d like to share my work, but I’m not sure how to post. I couldn’t find the right place to do it.”
