Primary Backing Canvas

Premium Primary Backing canvas – The Foundation of Every Quality Rug

Our primary backing cloth is specifically designed for use with tufting guns and provides the perfect base for hand-tufted rugs and wall hangings. With its tightly woven yet flexible structure, this fabric allows smooth needle penetration, minimal fraying, and secure yarn hold — trusted by both beginners and professional rug makers.

Why Choose This Backing?
Unlike generic fabrics such as monk’s cloth or burlap, this polyester tufting canvas is engineered to withstand the speed and pressure of electric tufting guns like AK-1 and AK-2. The balanced grid prevents yarn pull-through and supports clean lines, curves, and detailed designs without distortion.

Suitable for All Tufting Styles
This backing supports both cut pile and loop pile techniques and works with a wide range of rug yarns, including wool, acrylic, and blended fibers. Whether crafting a small art piece or a full-size rug, the fabric maintains even tension without stretching or tearing.

Tips for Best Results
Stretch the cloth tightly on your tufting frame and leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) of extra margin around your design for stapling and finishing. After tufting, lock the stitches with rug adhesive or latex and finish with a secondary backing for a professional result.

Complete your setup with our tufting guns, tufting yarns, and tufting accessories.
