Building a tufting frame

Makeing your own tufting frame does not have to be difficult. Also it is cost efficient, especially when you wish to size up your work. 

You will need:

• a drill
• a hammer
• maybe a saw when the shop does not precut your wood. 

For materials you will need 

• 5 pieces of lumber, size depends on well.. the size of your frame. 
• or use a wooden trestle with clamps
• Approximately enough carpet grippers 
• 4,5 cm long screws for frame construction
• 3 cm long screws for leg braces
• Wood glue and nails, or staple gun 

Take into account that you need about 5-10 cm of spare fabric on each side of your frame to allow you to stretch the fabric. Most default size fabric go per 1 meter x 4 meter, take this into account when determining the size of a frame and preventing waiste fabric.
