I found you randomly late last night. I've been doing research on making rugs. So far you are literally the only one who gets into detail about things other people do not even mention. And I'm obsessing over the fact that you have some beautiful swords on your wall. Lol can you use a punch needle to do the same thing as a tufting gun?

@ChrystalChristie Жыл бұрын

thank you so much! hahaha love my swords ⚔️ and yes you can, punch needle is like the original version of this craft! it’s just takes a lot more time but most times you can get a lot more detail with punch needle :)

I was wondering how u display your rugs on that wall at the convention I’m having my first shop and I’m trying to figure out what to use to display my rugs effectively

@ChrystalChristie Жыл бұрын

took me a few tries but with the smaller rugs i get really long pins and pin them onto the back wall. Otherwise with the larger rugs I used clips on them and tied ribbons off that to hang them from the top of the wall 😁 i also had a few rugs on the table for people to touch. Some people use coat hangers with clips on them to hang them from a rack too Goodluck with your shop!!

The folding part seems like a waste of time but if you don’t want edges to fray it’s important to fold the edges it locks the tufting fabric threads there’s literally just rubber glue holding your rug together if your fabric isn’t secure

i use 3 types of glue to hold everything into place when backing the rugs. Everything gets set and holds its place and is secured by heading tape too :)
