After inserting the threads into the canvas, it is common to have strands of thread that stick out or that are not uniform in length. Using pelican scissors, make sure the curved blade is as close to the canvas as possible. This will ensure an elegant and uniform finish of your carpet, without risking damage to nearby strands or the canvas, especially when changing colors.
This accessory, on which the cutting blade is fixed, guarantees a uniform cut of your carpet. It also protects against any accidents, such as holes on your creation, for example.

✔️ B manual winding machine
The manual winding machine is important if you use balls of yarn; allows you to turn them into coils. In fact, your tufting gun requires smooth and fast thread flow. But a simple ball of yarn can cause tension, slow down the process, and even cause the thread to pop off your tufting gun. Thanks to the winding machine, you will not have interruptions due to tension problems or thread breakage.
How to use a manual winding machine?
Fix it to the edge of a table.
Pass the thread through the thread guide and secure it in the notches.
Turn the handle to operate the winder, ensuring even thread distribution on the spool.
✔️ Infila-lane
A threader, sometimes called a needle threader, is a small tool that makes it easier to insert thread into the eyelet of your tufting gun. Without it, threading the thread can seem like an impossible task.
How to use the lane threader?
Grab the threader so that you insert it into the eyelet of your tufting gun from the bottom up, up to the reel of the gun. Then put the thread in the needle threader and gently pull it through the bobbin and eyelet of your tufting machine. Now you're ready to dive.
