What fabric do you use for tufting? Let the experienced speak!

It's almost no longer an opinion but a fact. The grey polyester primary tufting cloths have become by far the most favorite in the tufting world. Where previously the white cotton tufting cloth was in first place, the renewed polyester variant is by far the best rated among all tufting cloths. Experienced rug tufters use this polyester tufting textile to create their most beautiful artworks.

 

Premium tufting cloth: The Perfect Canvas for Tufting

  • Premium cloth is a versatile fabric, ideal for tufting adventures.
  • Made of 100% polyester
  • The premium cloth is often preferred because of its durability and ease of use.
  • Polyester is flexible and resilient, making it ideal for tufting with dense yarn or intricate designs.
  • The stretching is much easier due to the flexibility of the fabric

How Do You Stretch the Fabric?

  • Trust your instinct for the right tension.
  • Start by securing the top of the fabric to the frame.
  • Pull the bottom down for a gradual tightening.
  • Aim for a firm, drum-like resistance when tapping with your fingers.

The Difference between Primary and Secondary Fabric

  • Primary tufting fabric is the canvas on which your tufting masterpieces come to life. You stretch this fabric on the frame.
  • The secondary tufting fabric is used after you have tufted the project on the primary canvas.You glue the yarn in place and cover it with this secondary cloth.
  • Secondary tufting fabric provides support and structure to your finished piece, depending on its destination.
