Materials · Cloth, adhesive, yarn

Buy the materials your tufting station needs

Buy materials around the project you can measure. Cloth must fit the frame, adhesive must match the backing system, and yarn quantity needs a sample-based estimate.

Start with primary cloth

Primary cloth comes first because it has to cover the frame and its attachment area. Compare the usable dimensions with your measured span before adding yarn or finishing supplies to the cart.

Compare the primary cloth and use the cloth-size calculator for your frame.

Choose adhesive after defining the backing system

Define the backing, substrate, application method, ventilation, and manufacturer instructions first. Then compare Roberts and 3M against the job. They suit different workflows.

Open the adhesive comparison before buying an aerosol or large container.

Estimate yarn from a measured sample

Cloth area sets the project size. A measured sample sets the yarn estimate. Weigh a sample made with the intended pile style and spacing before you buy for the full rug.

Open the yarn page for the acrylic option and optional winder.
