I’m preparing to build my frame. Does the frame have to be bigger than the largest rug you will ever make on it, or can you shift the cloth once you’ve started the rug? For instance, if I built a 3x5 foot rug, ordered 6x9 feet of cloth, could I do a smaller section on the 3x5 and then move the cloth to expose a new area and continue? Thanks! Casey hookandweaveco |

Hi Casey, Technically speaking this is possible, but I think your nails or tacks used to hold the tufting cloth on the frame will need to be very long.  You could also build a giant frame   |

Estimado Tim : el entusiasmo sin duda es algo que nos une, a pesar de estar muy lejos , pero a la vez cerca estoy muy contenta de haber descubierto este sitio , luego de ir dejando mi trabajo como docente y psicóloga , he ido reconstruyendo una nueva trayectoria que me ha llevado hacia el mundo de las alfombras, comencé haciendo pequeños trabajos con dos herramientas de enganches, muy elementales pero que abrieron el apetito de seguir explorando ,así encontré esas poderosas herramientas aunque no tengo claro por cual decidirme , si bucle/pelo , se agradecería saber con cual empezar .
Desde ya estoy tejiendo en sueño
desde Chile un país largo, lejano y hermoso
un abrazo

Hola Patty!
¡Me encantaría visitar Chile alguna vez! Vivo en México (Oaxaca) por un corto tiempo y me encantó. Creo que disfrutarás del loop uno para ser el mejor. Déjeme saber si usted tiene preguntas.
Rough Translation:
Dear Tim: enthusiasm is undoubtedly something that unites us, despite being far away, but at the same time I am very happy to have discovered this site, after leaving my job as a teacher and psychologist, I have been rebuilding a new trajectory that has taken me to the world of carpets, I started doing small jobs with two hooking tools, very elementary but they opened the appetite to continue exploring, so I found those powerful tools although I'm not sure why to decide, if loop / cut , it would be appreciated to know with what to start.
I am already weaving in sleep from Chile a long, distant and beautiful country
a hug
