About Design Selection
How do I pick a design for my rug?
After booking a tufting class, you’ll receive an email with helpful tips and advice on choosing the perfect design. Simple designs with solid lines and bold colors tend to work best. We also offer a design gallery for inspiration, where you can select a design or use it as a reference for your own creation.
If you’re looking for your own image, we recommend searching for outlines, coloring pages, or sticker-style graphics related to your theme. For example, try searching terms like “cartoon coloring pages,” “anime stickers,” or “video game outlines.”
When do I choose my rug design?
You can choose and submit your design anytime before your class! We kindly ask that you send it at least 3 days in advance. This gives us enough time to review your design and ensure it will achieve the best results during your session. You do not have to choose from our design gallery but we do provide those as examples/options. When you arrive, your design will be pre-traced and ready for you to start creating!
Can I see examples of rugs made in previous classes?
Yes! We have a gallery of past projects in the studio and online to give you inspiration.
What if I don’t finish my rug during class?
We’re here to guide you through every step, starting with choosing your design, so you have plenty of time to tuft and complete your project. If you don’t finish during the class, no problem—we offer flexible options! You can book a follow-up session for extra help, or we can handle the finishing touches for you. Please note that these options come at an additional cost. For your first class, we suggest selecting a simple design to help you get comfortable with tufting, enjoy the process, and and finish your rug in one session, ready to take home the same day!
Do you provide yarn, or should I bring my own?
Yes! We have OVER 50 different colors to choose from. You should be able to match any desired colors you have in mind.
Can I bring my own yarn for the class?
We advise against bringing your own yarn, as it may not match the texture of our yarn, resulting in an inconsistent rug. Additionally, the quantity required makes it an unnecessary additional expense. We offer a wide range of colors for you to choose from, eliminating the need to bring your own yarn!
