Every element, from the frame to the adhesives, plays a key role in achieving durable, professionally finished rugs. In this section, you&#8217;ll find the basic and complementary materials used in the process: from preparing the frame and base fabric, through the projection and tracing of the design, to the tufting itself and the final finishes. We also include auxiliary tools and safety measures to ensure comfortable and safe work. With the right equipment, your tufting experience will be more fluid, efficient, and satisfying.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_zigzag color=&#8221;black&#8221; el_border_width=&#8221;8&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1340&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>TUFTING FABRIC<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]This is the base fabric used for tufting.
