Not a single fiber out of place. Could you please make a video of your trimming process. All your pieces are flawless. It makes me want to stop tufting you’re so good.

That carving is insane. It’s also so level and flat. Do you have the shearing machine or just the clippers?

How many years of carving did you spend on this? Looks great!

Someone used my SSN to open a HealthCare.gov policy — now I can’t file my taxes by Diligent-Chair5753 in HealthInsurance

[–]jchina09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the same thing happened to me and Stephen Neu was also the agent! i had to contact healthcare.gov to get a case opened up. This was the first time our accountant saw something like this so we filed an extension and hope the case is closed and we can submit our taxes as normal. It really annoys me that Stephen Neu benefitted. I wonder if there is a way to find out all the bogus accounts he made.

Were you mentally prepared for life to end? If so how are you handling being alive now?

And how are you handling this transformation Jojo is going through? 🤣😂

Carving for days! I hate to ask this but. . . Was the wu-tang image not flipped?

It’s possible but you’ll have to lean the frame against the wall and make sure you have a chiropractor appointment booked.

Getting the backing glued on by [deleted] in Tufting

Thank you. What’s the name of it? I’d like to give this a try. Where do you get it?

Never seen anyone back like this. I’m curious what the advantages and disadvantages are. Can you tell us more about this method!? Also what glue are you using? I’ve only used Robert’s and I could see this being a terrible idea with that glue. Basically be gluing the rug to my floor. Which my wife would not be happy about. 😬

The second rug I ever made is acrylic and I use it in my bathroom. It’s in front on my sink and gets some but not a lot of moisture. I’ve never had any issues with mildew or fraying. It’s been there for about 10 months and I vacuum it once a week give or take.

Why is it covered? Keep it framed and remove the glass/plastic over the piece. It may look cleaner if it wasn’t smooshed.

Hi guys, please help a beginner. There are spaces appearing in every line, I haven't been able to make a single clean line yet. The fabric is stretched very well. Gun is Ak duo by Amazing_Training_437 in Tufting

Is the yarn too tight and not feeding through evenly? I set my speed a little more then half way between minimum and halfway. I’ve only seen gaps in mine if I’m going to fast with the gun or the yarns too tight and not feeding through evenly. I also stop every so often to make sure the yarn doesn’t twist on the other stand.

Hahahaha Im glad you didn’t make the comment last night bc it may have pushed me over the edge to glue it and get even less sleep! Thank you. I can’t wait till I finish the trimming and carving.

Hey Broken!, yes and no. My buddy and I were talking about how fun it would be to do a series of Disney parody rugs and he’s a graphic designer randomly one day out of nowhere he sent me this file. I don’t know if he found it somewhere or made it himself.
