Tufting

Home: Pennsylvania, United States

Tufting is a textile process where yarn is inserted through a backing fabric to create a pile or looped surface. It‘s a method commonly used to make rugs, carpets, and even some types of clothing. The process involves using a tufting gun to push the yarn through the backing, creating either a cut pile (where the loops are cut) or a loop pile (where the loops remain uncut.) The project/demo would be a hands on experience for people to use a tufting gun and get a general sense of the process‘s.
