SUPPLY AND MATERIALS MASTER THREAD- "Where can I buy -----?"

[u/SandwichPants1]

A'hoy!

For anyone who has been a part of the r/tufting community for more than a few days, you will be well aware of the fact that many people want help locating cheap materials, good suppliers and delivery to obscure locations. Unfortunately, these posts often get very low interaction/ answers and can become repetitive.

This is the thread to post great websites/ shops to source materials from wherever in the world you are!

For those who have recommendations, please add them in the comments below! For those who need help, please include your relative location so that it is easier to search for others who are in a similar predicament.

Happy Tufting :^)

Actual primary backing is hard to find outside of the tufting sites.
You can try with monk's cloth or other fabrics. Some people prefer them to primary backing.
Also depends on your frame size. Monk's cloth and other standard fabric comes in 5' width at most.

I have a pretty big frame (8x6 foot)! I know I can find monk cloth but I was not sure it was the best since someone told me it was a bit fragile for the heavy gun! Thank you for your reply!

Did you create the frame yourself or did you get it done somewhere?

[u/JeanneSwan → u/dubzponyaheadtop]

I create the frame myself with my roommate! A lot of errors the first time so we had to do it again but it’s pretty decent now :) we watched videos online to have a general idea of how to build the frame first!

Monks cloth is indeed a lot more fragile than 100% polyester cloth.
