In the final hour, we’ll glue your rug and show you how to trim and shave it. Best of all? You’ll take your rug home the same day — no return trip needed.

Once you book a tufting class, you’ll receive an email with some tips and tricks on how to select a design. The designs that work the best have solid lines and/or colors and are simple in nature. We also have a design gallery that people can choose from or use as a guide.

If you’re searching for your own image, we suggest using prompts like outlines, coloring pages, or stickers along with your topic. Here are some example searches: cartoon coloring pages, anime stickers, or video game outline.

Anytime before your tufting class! You’ll want to have a few options saved on your phone by the time you arrive. When you check-in, we’ll take a look at your design choices and help you choose the best option. Once an image is approved, we’ll help you connect to one of our projectors so you can trace the image on your canvas. You’ll use your phone for this, so make sure your phone is charged!

We’ll work with everyone, starting from the design selection, to ensure that you have ample time to tuft and complete your design. If, for any reason, you don’t finish your design during the class, we have a few solutions available for you. You can schedule a follow-up class to receive our guidance and complete your design, or if you prefer, we can take care of the finishing touches for you.

It’s important to note that these options come with an additional cost. For your first tufting class, we recommend starting with a simple design to help you get comfortable, enjoy the experience, and avoid feeling overwhelmed. This is the simplest way to guarantee that you can finish your rug and bring it home with you!
