FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (F.A.Q.)

Q: Do I need any previous experience to join the tufting workshop?

A: Not at all! This workshop is designed for complete beginners. Our expert instructors will teach you everything from threading the yarn and safely handling the electric tufting gun to the techniques required for clean lines and consistent density.

Q: How long does the Rug Tufting Workshop take?

A: The tufting process itself is intensive and fun, typically lasting 3.5 to 4.5 hours. We recommend setting aside a full afternoon or evening to allow for design time, tufting, and a short break.

Q: When can I take my finished rug home?

A: The rug is not ready to take home immediately after your session. Once the tufting is complete, the rug needs 2-3 hours for the special adhesive/glue to cure and dry completely before we can safely remove it from the frame, trim it, and apply the final backing.

Q: What is the maximum size for a rug in the workshop?

A: The size of the rug is determined by the frame size used in the workshop, which is typically a canvas of approximately 28 x 28 inches. This size is ideal for a wall hanging, accent rug, or floor mat.

Q: Can I choose any design I want?

A: Yes, you can choose almost any design! However, simple designs work best for beginners. We strongly recommend avoiding overly intricate details, thin lines, or small lettering, as these are much harder to execute with the tufting gun. You will be asked to submit your design prior to the workshop for review to ensure it is tufting-friendly.

Q: Are the tufting guns safe to use?

A: Safety is our top priority. We provide thorough instruction on safely operating and handling the electric tufting gun. All participants are closely supervised by our staff throughout the session to ensure a fun and secure environment.

Q: Is this workshop suitable for corporate team building or large groups?

A: Absolutely. Rug Tufting is one of our most popular high-energy team-building activities, as it is tactile, rewarding, and offers a fun creative release. We can host groups at our San Francisco studio or set up a custom Mobile Workshop at your corporate event space.
