We've all been there... the dreaded tear in the fabric! I always say, the best way to fix a hole in your tufting fabric is to not make one in the first place 🥴 But fear not! I've used this approach a few times now with perfect results. All you need is some embroidery floss, a curved needle, and a LOT of patience. This could take an hour to a few hours, but we all know it's worth it.
Here are some links to the products I used that you can get at your local craft store:
1. Embroidery floss | mine is somewhere between the thickness of standard embroidery floss and thread
2. Curved needle | you can get it in a pack like this amzn.to/3B9GA2j
Good luck & let me know if you have any questions!

This technique is called darning like a knitter does with a hole in a sock. Nice neat work you’ve done here; been enjoying your videos :)

Oh darn

@angymelina 2 года назад

Thank you soo much for the tip!!! I love watching your videos!!! I starting tufting just some months ago and it has been a looong learning process, sometimes it feels like I still don't know what i'm doing 😭 and your videos are so helpful!

@TaylorDaleWright Год назад

This is so helpful. I dug in a little too deep when shaping the edge of some tufts and you've saved me from having to scrap the rug with this video.

@kimb8810 2 года назад

Recently made a quarter sized hole not paying attention. This totally worked. Local craft store has a huge bag of floss for 4$ so Im set for the next 23 holes, thanks!

@jennaanderson6106 Год назад

Thankyou for rescuing me this is gonna be a lifesaver down the track

@beu2543 2 года назад

I definitely thought a hole in the cloth means throw the whole rug away. Glad to know that’s not the case . Thank you!

@AFMR0420 2 года назад

Thanks AJ. I totally haven’t watched any other YT on this matter.

@pricelessconceptions3241 2 года назад

You just saved my rug, because the technique of sewing on a patch of scrap primary fabric was hideous. I use burlap, so I just unraveled some scrap pieces and used those fibers to re-weave the tear and it worked perfectly. Wish I could add a pic in the comments. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

@AJMAKES137 2 года назад

I'm SO glad it worked for you!! :D

@rhajahweathers5261 2 года назад

I'm glad you said you use burlap and it worked. So do I and I scrapped a beautiful rug over a out of control tear.

Thank you so much creating these very useful content. I'm a beginner in tufting and your videos help me navigate this learning journey. :) I'd just like to ask how do you keep your rugs to consistent sizes is it through your projector or another way? Thank you again!

@AFTERDEATHX 2 года назад

Thank you for this 🫡🫡 any recommendations on tufting cloth? I have a big frame and burlap isnt that great with my cut pile 😅

@Koboldmensch 3 года назад

When you put a flame under a normal needle and heat it up, you can bend it with pliers- just don't burn yourself on the hot needle! Helps if you cant find them at the store or are too cheap to buy them ;)

@TheHaniverse 2 года назад

Thank you so much, I have a commission I've been working on for weeks and I got a massive hole when I decided to use a new gun that was fault and the scissors tore up a section right where two colours meet D; Seriously this tutorial is going to be a life saver for my project, thank you so much!

@ImAshleeS 2 года назад

How did your project turn out?

@TheHaniverse 2 года назад

@@ImAshleeS Finished it on time and the area where the hole is is hardly noticeable! I wish I had found your tutorial sooner rather than trying a million other things that only made the problem worse first. Thank you once again ;v; by far the best solution out there!

@Fran-kg2dc 3 года назад

I needed this! I still struggle creating curves or going diagonally, usually that’s how I rip the fabric😭 any tips on that? Love your content!

@allykaylin8855 2 года назад

me too😭 i see people glide and make curves and all kinds of shapes and when i do it the fabric rips! that's literally the only time i rip it

@AJMAKES137 2 года назад

🙏🙏🙏 What kind of fabric are you using? I've noticed that this tends to happen with tufters who are using monks cloth instead of tufting fabric

@Fran-kg2dc 2 года назад

Ive used burlap and that worked well (not for the curves tho) and a fabric that looks a lot like monks cloth but its not as expensive, I think its just embroidery fabric. Maybe it’s too soft?

@cassdelioncourt 2 года назад

@@Fran-kg2dc Burlap is not expensive, but it’s also made not to last, so it will rot and fall apart. Fine for pieces you don’t care about and don’t plan on keeping. But not great if you want to make a quality, not lasting product.

@BritSchmid-ie6gm Год назад

Thank you so much for this video! I am working on a punch needle rug and all other solutions for holes included glue which wouldn’t work for me, as I’m still very much in process and could not punch through glue!

@Abztract 2 года назад

Let’s say I managed to really mess up and tore a pretty big hole. would getting another piece of tufting fabric and sowed it around the hole work?

@Akbal993 3 года назад

can you make a video of the frame where you put the cloth?

@kimberlyzickefoose3994 3 года назад

@MarcWrecs 2 года назад

Do you think burlap is better then monks?

@curtisjohnson4886 2 года назад

What are the measurements to your frame? Also my yarn is always coming out of my gun can’t figure out what I’m doing.

@ryanbails2424 2 месяца назад

I just tore a whole and I wanna try this. When using the embroidery floss doesn't this show up on the other side of the design? Or is there something i'm missing

@drippymenace7379 Год назад

Hi could you help me, I am new to tufting and my monks cloths peeks thru my rug when im finished like some white strings get punched thru and then the cloth is visible once I’m done with the sheers

@babygandooee 11 месяцев назад

Nice save!🎉 I do have a different problem. I have gaps in between the colours and I can't tuft in them c0z it rips when i do. What do i do to fix it?

@ambertom 6 месяцев назад

I’m having the same issue - planning to try and tighten up those spots with the technique shown in this video!

@josecastillo1986 Год назад

Can I just glue another piece of cloth on that area ?

@yarelimendoza8989 3 года назад

Nice! From your experience, why do these tears happen? I get them a little too often…

@abyss-lf6ez 3 года назад

When tufting using a cut pile gun be careful not to pull the gun out of the canvas while the machine is still moving. Also be sure to keep good pressure on the canvas while tufting or the machine can sort of jump back and cut the canvas creating a hole.

Can you make a pop it please🥺

@floflo8153 Год назад

Did she tie the ends or no?????

@christinaday43 2 года назад

Does glue work?

@AJMAKES137 2 года назад

I don't think so, because you need to be able to tuft through it. And you can't tuft through glue

@davianschroer271 3 года назад

This literally just happened today and I didn’t know what to do

@newbsan7039 2 года назад

This may be a lazy way out but maybe just patch in a small square of burlap that could act as the fibers, then you only have to worry about sewing in a square
