Rug tufting workshops in the UK

Draw or transfer your design onto the tufting cloth stretched over a frame. Simple geometric shapes and letters work well for beginners.

The tufting gun punches yarn through the cloth at speed. Run it along your drawn lines in smooth, even passes — like drawing with yarn.

For cut pile, shear the loops with scissors or an electric trimmer to create a velvety texture. Loop pile rugs skip this step.

Apply rug backing adhesive (or latex) to lock the tufts in place. Once dry, trim the edges and add a fabric backing to finish.
