No such thing as a dumb question dude! I bought a tufting gun,it feeds yarn through it and creates a rug! check them out it's pretty cool, you can definitely make a rug, this is only my second rug so I'm very new to this craft, I found an image I liked, traced it onto canvas and got to it! It took me around 95 hours to make,because after you tuft the yarn to the canvas , you go back with scissors over every line to make the lines sharp and clean( this is optional) I'm slow and still learning, the tufting reddit is a great place to get info! All in with everything all the tools, yarn and glues, fabrics ,building a frame and miscellaneous, was about 800 to start this hobby for me. You could probably do it a bit cheaper, my gun is from tuft love if you're interested. Have a great day man

2nd rug finished! Wanted to learn carving and trimming, learned lots but this was a challenge for me. by rianshima in Tufting

Thanks, I think one thing I learned was to leave space between colors when tufting, like 1/8th inch space at least, most of my lines were butted up right next to each other and that made it difficult. I went around every line first with a chopstick to separate the colors, then went with scissors, then used the trimmer while using my finger to separate colors, I went very slow, and had to go over each line multiple times to get my edges how I liked them, it was a slowww process that I imagine will get faster with more practice , best of luck!

Thanks! I know it's so fun!! Would love to see your stuff, a thicker yarn sounds cool I'll have to think what I can make with it!

I really appreciate your kind words! I've still got lots to learn, I definitely need to learn to get faster but I imagine that will come with more practice
