Tuft the World was established in 2018 by Tiernan Alexander and Tim Eads, Texas-born artists and business owners living and working in West Philadelphia. The company was founded to provide tufters with the high-quality tools, materials, and instruction they need to make their own tufting projects.
We believe in people, community, and the health of our planet over profit. We’re committed to building a workplace ecosystem where our team can thrive, and in supporting and connecting a larger community of makers. We believe that creative thinking is the seed of growth, and that everyone is innately creative. It’s our hope that tufting might awaken that spirit in both the most confident artist, and the person who never thought they could make anything.
Estimado; desde mucho tiempo he tenido muchas ganas de comprar una máquina como la que muestra, además la forma de relatar su experiencia me ha motivado aún más, recién estoy explorando está ruta, me gustaría saber de qué se trata el compresor de aire que UD menciona,desde ya estaré muy agradecida, gracias por su generosidad de entregar sus experiencias.
I know you all are dedicated to sustainability, just wanted to see if there's any more info out there. I am trying to decide on the most environmentally sustainable and ethical yarn for tufting. My primary concern is for the treatment of the sheep. I know NZ is known for more ethical practices, but I was wondering if you have any more information on the ethics and standards of shearing and the lives of the sheep, etc., specifically from your wool providers. It's hard to tell sometimes what is meant by sustainable and ethical sometimes these days! Thank you @tufttheworld !
Unfortunately we can't confirm the ethical treatment of the sheep that we buy our wool from. We're buying from a dye house that is sourcing it. We're always looking for ways to improve, though. Our eco-cotton is a pretty good option although we are actually phasing it out
Hi! If you purchased your machine from TTW please email us at support@tufttheworld.com so we can help you. If you didn't purchase from us you can join our free online community and post there for help. Link to the online community is on our website.
I must say these are unusual things to tuft but being you have access to everything GO FOR IT! So many people don't understand gerrymandering and what it's doing to our voices... our votes. That first color looks like 2 Disney Characters fighting 😮 That should be in Florida. Thanks for bringing the awareness to this Tim.
Cada pieza que creamos tiene un gran componente manual y sería imposible sin nosotros. Hay espacio tanto para la máquina como para el ser humano en la creación de arte.
Yes we made it! I no longer print yardage but it worked great when we did. It was made from 2 restaurant passthrough heaters on a rolling track I built. The temp was about 800 degrees so would dry the fabric super fast.
This usually means you are pausing at the end of the row for more than one tuft. To solve the issue stop pulling the trigger a little faster and don't pause
See I’m trying to find an alternative to the first cut pile gun because those models have a tendency to literally explode (the capacitor inside) and it’s really hard to find a very nice alternative for the EU power other than a pneumatic one :(
@@tufttheworld yes you made it clear in the video , i mean any other advantages like speed and precision and durability, it looks heavy duty like , are there any other benefits to it besides the pile height
@@soheibabadlia8504 the pneumatic one is not for beginners. If you've never tufted before I recommend starting with the Duo (in our shop). It's high quality and easy to use
@@skyleejeffrey6507 Thank you for your reply. Outside of the mechanical differences listed below it requires quite a bit more precision when tufting with it. Needle and pile height change require removing several small parts at the machine. It also requires perfect pressure and cloth tension to work well. You'll easily rip giant holes in the machine or the yarn won't stick in the cloth at all. It also requires a fairly large air compressor to run correctly. For most people this typically requires access to an art studio or warehouse space. I hope that helps
Hello, Mr. Sen, I am waiting for you in Egypt to install the machine. I have been waiting for you for a long time, and now I am unemployed because you did not come and did not respond to my messages and calls. I want a quick response from you.
Hello Mr. Kassem, this is not Mr. Sun. I am also a customer of his company. We waited for 2 years and he finally came. I wish you the best. I hope he can come soon
Good days gentlemen. I would like to know the name of the screen printing ink brand and what is the country, what is the email address? Grateful for the attention. There is good for you.
This is Holden's Standard screen AquaBrite water based inks in the US (New York). www.holdensscreen.com. You buy an extender base plus pigments for mixing
@@koerksen today I bought a wool yarn but not the best quality. The result was good. It managed to cut the yarn. I think this gun is not for acrylic yarns.
@@pokemondelisi749 I have encountered the same. Acrylic it haaates to cut, I'm gonna try a couple of troubleshooting options, but I do think it needs wool. Even my decent scissors can't cut the acrylic well without it being pulled taut. I ordered a regular machine to put this acrylic pile to use, lol
