Design Guidelines

BEFORE YOU TUFT

To make sure your tufted piece turns out clean, fluffy and beautiful, we recommend choosing simple, bold and easy-to-tuft designs.
Some details that look great on screen may not translate well into yarn and texture.


KEEP IT SIMPLE

Simple designs always work best, especially if it’s your first time tufting.

Large shapes, bold colour blocks and clean outlines are easier to tuft and create cleaner final results.

Great examples:

AVOID TINY DETAILS

Thin lines, tiny text and overly detailed designs are harder to tuft cleanly.

Small details can disappear or blend into the yarn texture.

Please avoid:

Hard to Tuft

MORE TIPS FOR THE BEST RESULTS

CHOOSE 3–6 COLOURS

Too many colours can make a design feel visually busy and harder to tuft.
A curated colour palette usually creates the most aesthetic result.
Minimal colour combinations often look the most elevated and modern.

Thicker outlines and defined colour areas create cleaner tufted results.

As a general rule:
If a detail looks too small to tuft comfortably, it probably is.

We recommend:

  • Thick outlines
  • Clear separations between colours
  • Rounded shapes over tiny sharp corners
  • High contrast designs

Please upload:

  • High-resolution images
  • Clear screenshots or illustrations
  • Good lighting and contrast
  • PNG, JPG or PDF files

Avoid blurry, pixelated or low-quality images.

To ensure the best possible tufting result, small adjustments may be made to your design before the workshop.

This can include:

  • Thickening thin lines
  • Simplifying small details
  • Adjusting proportions
  • Cleaning up outlines

Don’t worry — we’ll always keep the original vibe of your design.

The simpler the design, the cleaner and fluffier the final piece will look
