If you’re new to tufting, a tufting machine is the essential piece of gear that will help you create beautiful and professional-looking tufted projects with ease. Our tufting machines are designed with the beginner in mind, with simple controls and user-friendly features that make them easy to use. Take your tufting skills to the next level and create stunning pieces that you’ll be proud to show off.
You don’t need to have prior experience with tufting, as our machines are user-friendly and come with easy-to-follow instructions. You can create stunning rugs effortlessly and take your tufting skills to the next level.
Cut and Loop pile
The AK-1N does both cut and loop pile.
It comes ready as Cut pile out of the box at 15 mm pile height. And can be adjusted between 8-16 mm. Where older tufting guns used to have to be dismantled in a time-consuming way to switch modes, the AK-1N can be altered fast and simple. All it takes is removing one screw and replacing the cut or loop element. – see video.
It is by far the easiest it has ever been. Maintenance is simple, brush off dust and keep moving parts properly lubed with sewing oil. Variable speed
Tufting guns move insanely fast, but sometimes you want to slow down to focus on small details of your rug. The AK-1N Pink has a dial at the bottom of the handle where you can easily change the tufting speed.
Variable pile lengths
Our tufting machine supports tufting at different pile lenghts from 8 to 16 millimeter. Although it is possible to change the length, we strongly recommend to only adjust the pile height when you have become familiar with the workings of the machine as several parts need to be precisely adjusted. – see video.
Lightweight Pink Edition
Another reason why the new AK-1N series is popular is its weight. At just 1.4 kilos, it is the lightest tuft gun available. Perfect if you want to tuft an entire day without sore arms. This new edition also has a new look, replacing the traditional blue for bright pink.

Authentic tufting machines with warranty
Counterfeit tufting machines pose a risk as they are often made with inferior materials and poor workmanship. These machines can break easily, fail to operate correctly, and even pose a safety hazard. In addition, counterfeit machines lack the warranties and customer support that come with genuine tufting machines. Tufting Europe proudly offers warranty on all our machines, free returns and we are just a click away if you have any questions.
Safety first
Tufting machines are professional power-tools, with a needle and scissors moving at high speeds. Please use your tufting gun responsibly and keep it out of reach from children. Also unplug the tufting machine from the power when you make adjustments to it.

Glad the machine does both cut pile and loop pile, still a bit time consuming to quickly switch between these styles. Need to replace the needle element and configure the pile lenght.

Le pistolet est vraiment bon mais il faut le régler correctement.

Have not tried loop pile yet, but for cut pile it has been great on my first rugs. Just be prepared to invest some time in learning how to use it properly, the first time using this i was surprised by it’s power. But you can put it on a slow mode.

Yunan (verified owner) –
I joined a crafting studio for a tufting class and decided to purchase a tufting gun for at home. My friend recommended this one and I am happy to say it works exceptionally well, reaching speeds of 5-43 stitches per second.

Ik ben nog bezig met het bouwen van een frame, dus ik heb nog niet getuft, maar de tuftmachine voelt zeer hoogwaardig aan.

Replaced a KRD-1 with this machine due to the weight, it is so much lighter which makes a difference for me. Thank you for the advice!

Ordered my Tufting Gun in the weekend and got it delivered 2 days later. The explanation on how to use the Tuftinggun from Tufting Europe has been amazing. I had one question which is got a reply to almost instantly.
Definitely advise to buy here instead of other vendors
Guido Willigers (verified owner) –
All okay.

I feel like the needle is way too wide for loop piles. It is not possible to work with precision with a needle head that is 7 mm wide. I am disappointed that a more narrow needle did not get shipped with it and is out of stock on the website.

Very happy with it!
Veera Suihkonen (verified owner) –

Everything works eexcellent!

The Cut & Loop Gun works fine! It´s just that I don´t understand how to change from cut to loop 🙁 … I don´t have much experience in tufting yet and the instructions don´t explain how to do it. It seems the manual in my package is one of another gun.
