Introduction to Rug Tufting 101

In this hands-on instructional class, participants will learn to use power tufting machines to create a rug, wall hanging, mirror, stool, or pillow. The 4-hour class will cover the basics of setting up a tufting frame, stretching primary cloth and threading and operating tufting machines. Instructions for how to cut, glue, and finish a tufted piece will also be provided.

Frame, cloth, yarn, and project-specific supplies are included in the cost of the workshop (participants will take their work and frame home following the class). Fifth of March Studios will provide tufting machines for use during the workshop, or participants may bring their own.
