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 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.
