Why It Matters: Engineered for Zero Tears
- Commercial-Grade Tear Resistance: Standard monk’s cloth can easily slice or tear under the pressure of a 200W tufting gun. Our synthetic blend absorbs the continuous impact of the needle mechanism, allowing you to tuft closely packed lines without blowing out the backing.
- Woven 5 cm Marking Lines: No more crooked text or skewed geometric shapes. The bright yellow guidelines are woven directly into the matrix every 5 cm, letting you check your design alignment and fabric tension at a single glance.
- Optimal Needle Glide: The tight, precise weave pattern ensures that the scissors of your cut-pile gun or the loop-pile head slip cleanly through the fibers without catching, preventing messy snags and uneven yarn loops.
- Forgiving Against Mistakes: Made a mistake? No problem. The flexible synthetic fibers allow you to pull out a botched line of yarn and re-tuft the exact same spot without leaving a gaping hole.
💡 Pro-Tips for Creators
- The Drum Test: Before you start tufting, stretch your cloth until it sounds like a drum when you tap it. If it sags in the middle, your lines will pack unevenly.
- Watch Your Corners: When stretching a 100×100 cm piece on a standard frame, pull the corners first, then work your way along the sides to maintain perfect grid alignment.
