About the event

Badge & Build: Tufting Gun
Curious about tufting and ready to start using the tufting guns at MakeHaven? This quick and friendly session is your chance to get badged and get tufting! You’ll learn how to safely operate the tufting guns and make a small 5” x 5” tufted wall hanging to complete your Textile Tufting Gun badge. This class focuses on the safety skills and know-how you need to work on your own.

This is a MakeHaven Member event. To Join MakeHaven, visit https://www.makehaven.org/, press “Join Now” (red button) and complete the signup process shown.
What to Expect
We’ll walk you through the basics—how to stretch the backing fabric, use the tufting gun with control, and finish off your sample piece. This session is designed to help you get checked out on the equipment, not to dive deep into design or tufting techniques.

Looking for a more creative, project-based class? Our monthly Sunday Tufting Workshop is a better fit if you want to make something larger and explore tufting as an artform. This one’s all about getting you cleared to tuft independently.

Skills You’ll Acquire
• Safe and confident use of tufting guns
• How to set up and stretch your tufting fabric
• Basic tufting technique and finishing steps
• What you need to know to start your own projects

What’s Provided
• Tufting guns and frames
• Backing fabric and yarn
• Glue, scissors, and all the finishing tools
• Guidance and support from a knowledgeable instructor

Prerequisites/Safety Information:
• This event is for members only.
• Participants must complete the video and quiz portion of the Tufting Gun Badge here before attending.
Safety protocols will be reviewed during the event.
