What is tufting?

Tufting is the process of passing a group of threads (or a “tuft”) through a primary base material to create a rug-like texture. Using yarn and fabric to create rugs, coasters, mirrors, bags, pillows, benches and anything else your heart desires! Tufting projects are typically completed in five steps: tracing, tufting, gluing, backing and trimming.

Do I need to make a reservation, do you accept walk-ins?

We only accept reservations. It is likely that we will be fully booked a week in advance. We recommend scheduling your visit 1-2 weeks ahead of time. If scheduling for a group or private event please contact us as soon as possible. You can check on our website tutullc.info for availability and to make a reservation.

What happens in a workshop?

The 4-6 hours class will cover the basics of setting up a tufting frame with stretched primary cloth, threading and operating tufting machines. Instructions on how to cut, glue, and finish a tufted piece will also be provided. Participants will work on projects of their own design on a frame with different size options.

How long is a workshop?

We offer 3 types of tufting sizes. A typical session for a small tufting workshop is around 4 hours while a medium tufting workshop is 5 hours. The large tufting workshop is 6 hours or more. It is an immersive whole day experience for an advanced tufter. We suggest not making lunch or dinner reservations.

How to pick a design?

For first-time tufters, we highly recommend using designs with big simple shapes and thick outlines. No drawing skills are required, as you will be projecting your image onto the tufting canvas. It is important to save all of these designs on your phone.

Don’t worry! You can book another time slot to finish your item with hourly fees of $25/hr. Or, If you are unable to finish, we may complete the finishing at an additional charge of $50.
