Setting up your Instant Tufting Frame is quick and easy. Follow these steps to get started:
1. Assemble the frame. The Instant Tufting Frame comes with pre-cut PVC pipes and connectors. Slot the pipes into the corner connectors to build out the rectangular frame. No tools are required. See the Instant Tufting Frame product page for assembly details.
2. Attach your tufting cloth. Lay your primary tufting cloth over the frame and use the included clips or staples to attach it tightly to the frame, stretching it as tight as a drum. For tips on the best way to attach your cloth to the frame, see our guide on attaching cloth to the frame.
3. Position the frame. You can lean the frame against a wall, clamp it to a table, or stand it upright using the built-in feet. Make sure it's stable before you begin tufting.
4. Start tufting! Thread your tufting gun and you're ready to go. If you have questions about the frame or need help, contact us at support@tufttheworld.com.
