It's time to make a BIG RUG TUFTING FRAME! I have a lot of big tufting projects coming up and my smaller tufting frames just aren't going to cut it. So this week I finally built a bigger tufting frame. I ended up building a frame that would allow me to make pieces up to 5ftx6ft. I might go even bigger in the future but I wanted to be realistic about the amount of tufting cloth I would actually have on hand at any given time and a bigger frame means more cloth.
To build my frame I used
2in x 4in x 8ft Pine Stud (5)
2in x 6in x 8ft Pine Stud (1)
4in Construction Screws (1 box)
3pk Carpet Tack Strips (5)
Wood Glue (FREE, I already had some)
Paint (FREE, I already had some)
TOTAL SPENT: $70.17
I already had the necessary tools at the studio which were a
Miter Saw
Drill
Hammer
I built my tufting frame by myself over the course of 3 days and I'm so happy with how it turned out. There were definitely some ups and downs during the process but it mostly went well. I've already done some tufting on it and with was really nice to be able to do multiple pieces as one time instead of waiting for each piece to be done and then having to reset each time.
