If you use the tufting machine AK-V, know how to move from the cut mode to the loop mode is essential to achieve professional results. In this article, created by Kreoho, we show you step by step how to do it in a few seconds.
Step-by-step guide: from Cut to Loop
- Turn off and unplug the machine.
- is not necessary to remove the scissors.
- Use an Allen key to slightly loosen the screw (without removing it).
- Slide the screw forward.
- Tighten again — now you are in LOOP mode.
Attention: what changes in Loop mode
In loop mode, the thread is not cut automatically. You will need to cut it manually after each row. This is different from cut mode, which activates the internal blade for automatic cutting.
How to return to Cut mode
- Loosen the screw with the Allen key again.
- Slide it exactly in the center — not completely back.
- Tighten the screw — the CUT mode is active again.
The screw must be centered to reactivate the blade and allow the automatic cutting of the thread.
Now you know exactly how to switch from cut mode to loop mode (and vice versa) on your AK-V tufting machine. This allows you to work precisely and adapt the technique to your projects: rugs, tapestries, wall decorations, and much more.
