<Tufting Gun Guide>
- Since tufting guns are manufactured in China, they often come in a different condition every time they are shipped, and the thread length varies. There are even cases where 1 out of 20 people explodes. Andet sends tufting guns with optimized settings.
- If you don't buy a Cut gun or Loop gun through Andet and take a class with your original one or a separate direct purchase, we are not responsible for the fact that the gun does not work well. If you have not purchased through Andit but would like A/S for your case, please contact us via Instagram or email.
Able to improve quality
We will introduce additional components.
1. Air bubble
For those who want to practice more or create their own work, we have prepared an additional bubble wrap that can be purchased in 1-yard increments.
2. Frame (choose 1)
It is a frame that can be worked directly by itself without having to fix it to a desktop or other facility. If you have a frame, you can easily use it not only for tufting work, but also for finishing work after completion. Please choose the desired material and configuration from wooden frame (feeder included), wooden frame (feeder not included), or aluminum frame.
- Aluminum frame (with 2 feeders)
It can be disassembled and assembled, making it easy to store and affordable.
- wooden frame (supplier not included)
The quality of the product finish is good, and you can feel a warm feeling in the space unique to wood.
- wooden frame (with feeder)
It is a wooden frame that includes a thread feeder that connects threads (yarns) to help smooth supply. You can use a thread by plugging it into the feeder, and you can connect up to 6 threads to the conca (thread wrapped around the top).
3. Threader
It is a tool for inserting thread into a tufting gun needle. It acts like a hook, but it's easier and more convenient to insert a thread
4. Webbing tape
It is a ribbon-type cloth that can be used to finish the back side after the tufting process is completed. Please choose from 2 colors: ivory or gray. We have prepared webbing tape so that you can buy it in 3-yard increments.
5. Felt paper
In addition to backing cloth, it can also be easily finished with non-woven fabrics. I recommend using it when making small accessories such as coasters, magnets, and grip talks.
6. Needle
It is a necessary auxiliary material for finishing the side of tufting.
7. Scissors-ARS
These are scissors for tufting. It is used to trim the surface or clean up the steps in the design. Due to the nature of tufting, the scissors last a long time, and the quality of the work varies greatly depending on the performance of the scissors, so it is recommended to use scissors dedicated to tufting.
8. Scissors-applique
Since one side of the scissor blade has a larger area, these scissors are easier to trim and level the surface after tufting than regular scissors.
9. Clamp set
It fixes the frame so that it doesn't shake or push during tufting work. Please use it on both ends of the frame.
❗ I have something to bring personally.

(This item is included in the deluxe package only. If you want to buy it, please add it to the additional components.)

It is used for modification during tufting work. You can use a thin, sharp tool even if it's not an awl.
15. Phillips screwdriver
It is used to adjust the length of the vertical loom, and to assemble and detach the frame.
