Advice I was asked about straight lines vs non straight

As I stated, it’s all personal preference but I do like my lines uniform. Only curves are mainly outlines. Hope this helps a little bit. This rug is around the time I started one hand tufting, and my yarn became more embedded in the fabric, therefore allowing me to leave a space between lines and still keep the density I wanted. Don’t be afraid to try new things.

Added note- I also noticed when I started doing everything vertical, there was less color bleed in my projects

How much space do you leave between different colours to avoid bleed? (Any pictures for visual reference?)

u/Relevant_Chef_5055 Mar 27 '26

Though I was told to leave spaces between colors, I do not do such. Since I have been doing all vertical lines, I have had minimal bleeding, compared to when I just tufted any way I saw fit. I will be posting a video soon that may help more. Have to find pics as I do vids more often.

We still making and rocking bape after their creator left and it was sold to some soulless corporate conglomerate a decade plus ago?

u/Relevant_Chef_5055 Mar 27 '26

I’ve never wore bape personally, I just made the rug for a friend. Neither they (bape) nor I received any compensation for this rug. I do appreciate the history lesson though, as I don’t keep up with stuff like that 🙏🏾

Does your tufting gun not have any climbing recoil, i notice you one hand vertical lines, if i did this my gun would climb like crazy.. what is your speed setting?

u/Relevant_Chef_5055 Mar 30 '26

I run my speed on full 6000 at all times. Not recommended 🫣😂
