You would like to start tufting but don't know how, where to start and how it works?
In our Beginners Tufting Workshops Jenni teaches you everything about the tufting process in one day.
This workshop takes place in Bern at the Malso Lokal:
Malso Lokal
Bogenschützenstrasse 9a
(Postparc)
3008 Bern
The Workshop starts at 9:00
After our Workshop you can work independently and know all the basic information to tuft your dreams.
What we do in the course:
- You will learn about the structure of a tufted carpet.
- You will learn how to stretch the tufting frame correctly.
- You will make your first tufting attempts and get to know the different tufting machines.
- You will learn all the tips and tricks from Jenni.
- and of course you tufted your first own rug!
- Finally I show you how to finish everything at the back and how to glue the rug.
The rug will then dry over night. I will send you the rug incl. the final backing the following week and you can finish the rug with the help of this tutorial:

The maximum size of the rug you will tuft is 70x50cm. However, you are completely free in the shape and design. We work with 100% New Zealand carpet wool and Acrylic yarn.
To transfer your design on to your Tuftingcloth you can draw it freehand, on to paper on the day and then transfer or if you have something more complicated we can project it on the the stretched tufting cloth.
If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email to help@tuftinglove.com
