A tufting gun is a portable tufting machine that is used to create carpets. Though industrial carpet tufting machines are even faster, tufting guns provide several benefits over conventional rug-making or weaving methods like latch hook or punch needle. A medium-sized rug can be manufactured in an hour or so. It is that quick!
Tufting guns function similarly to sewing machines. It has a “foot” that lays on the fabric or backing material, and a huge needle pushes yarn through it, leaving some on the other side.
Depending on the type of tufting gun you have, the opposite side will either leave a loop (loop pile) or a strand (cut pile).
Keep in mind that you can feed more than one thread of yarn through the tufting gun at the same time. Make intriguing patterns and colours with innovative combinations, or just save time by pushing through multiple threads at once.
Loop Pile and Cut Pile tufting guns
The most important decision you must make when purchasing a tufting gun is whether you want a loop pile or cut pile type. The two-in-one tufting guns have made it super easy. But you can choose simple models (single pile type) if you wish to have a cheaper rug gun.
