Customer service was on point, they had an issue and knew about it and took care of it. They kept me informed and updated. Smooth transaction no hiccups.never used this type of device but it feels solid and durable. Thank you for the attention to detail.
I made my first piece. I’d done expect it to turn out so well. I’m veryyyy happy with my purchase. Thank you tuft love!! ☺️
A learning curve for sure, but once I got the feel of the gun I was having fun. Lots to learn, but having fun. 😁
I really adore my new tufting machines. I have not gotten a chance to use the loop pile yet, but I am ready to get to it. Thanks so much.
Everything came packaged perfectly. The two guns in the kit are great quality. The frame was easy to set up, Geoff was very helpful that was greatly appreciated. Have already started tufting!
Way too much fun 😁
It has been amazing so far and love the guns! So easy to use compared to the ones I've used at workshops.
30/10 experience. If you are looking to get into tufting , tuft love is the place to be . Their customer service is unmatched!
This is amazing!! I’m obsessed. I received my starter pack around 10 days ago. Everything seems high quality. And pretty simple to use. Currently working on my third rug, with many more to come.
Awesome service loved my starter kit. Awesome guns very sturdy and beautiful lol. I had and issue with my adapter and another was sent out immediately. Couldn’t ask for better customer service.
I love this kit , it came with the key things you need to start tufting !!!. The frame is bigger than I expected and there is a lot of tufting cloth so that’s ever more of a plus , I can’t wait to start this new journey. This is just the beginning thanks tuft love :)
I love these tufting guns, I had a bit of an issue but Geoff is readily available to discuss any problems. My issues were minor and mine ….once I spoke with Geoff I was ready to go!
Really easy and clear instructions on the website to build the frame. I’ve only used the cut pile machine so far but I am really happy with everything I received and can’t wait to create more.
Love the supplies! I’ve tufted two rugs already and I have no complaints. Easy site to navigate and quality goods!
COMBINATION STARTER KIT - Cut Pile and Loop Pile Machines - Extra Fabric
Finished my first 2 rugs, one on the cut pile and loop pile from Tuft Love & the experience was fantastic! The frame was easy to put together with simple instructions, while operating the guns and learning the basics of tufting was quick with the one minute tutorials from Geoff on YouTube. I received the package super fast and even had a phone call from one of the founders who made sure I understood everything and took the time to chat about my personal creative goals. I’m glad I purchased the Tuft Love started kit instead of ordering an AK-I & AK-2 like a few friends have, they’re lighter, work great, and the customer service is amazing. They worked well enough I went ahead and grabbed their new Daddy Long Legs shag rug tufting gun as well :D
COMBINATION STARTER KIT - Cut Pile and Loop Pile Machines - Extra Fabric
This was my first rug using the new cut pile gun. Love how it works and the speed that I can make a rug. I at this time am very comfortable with the slowest speed setting but I am sure I will be able to bump it up a bit with time. A fun fact is that 45 years ago (I am 70 now) I used to make rugs to sell in Southern California and I used a hand tool from Rug Crafters. Geoff has been very helpful any time I needed my questions answered, especially when I decided to take my machine apart to enhance what I thought would make it a longer tuft. Don't do that!!! The machine was perfect the way it was sent!! Geoff, I can't thank you enough for assisting me whenever I called or texted you. I try to support local USA products and I am so glad I picked Tuft-Love based in Colorado. To All......Happy Tufting

I love it great product
COMBINATION STARTER KIT - Cut Pile and Loop Pile Machines - Extra Fabric
I bought the 2 in one deal with the frame and I couldn't be happier with my purchase, I even broke the needle on the cut pile and it was completely my fault and still Geoff was fast to help and get me sorted out. The customer service here is unmatched!

Super easy to use! Having so much fun , the starter kit really set me up with everything I needed!
COMBINATION STARTER KIT - Cut Pile and Loop Pile Machines - Extra Fabric
It's been a great learning experience so far. It was unfortunate the instructions for placing the carpet grippers weren't defined so I had to remove them and place them once more. Also no matter how hard I pull on the cloth, I can never get it tight enough to get that drum like sound, the fabric just gets holes no matter how tight I can pull it and it eventually wraps what I'm tufting.
Amazing!!! Everything I could have wanted <3
High quality machines, far exceeds anything available on Amazon, serious equipment for dedicated artist!!
10/10 so amazing!
Love my tufting gun. Easy to use. Good quality.
Quick delivery. Bomber guns — powerful, well made, industrial feel. Starter kit is the way to go! I was tufting right away. And Geoff is readily accessible and super helpful.
Frame is easy to assemble! I cant wait ti start making rugs. Zoom was so helpful with this transaction
My partner loves it! Everything was thoughtfully put together and it's clear they care about what they do.
Love how smooth the gun is. Wish the canvas was a little more durable, but have no issues
The delivery was very fast, everything was packaged well. The frame was easy to put together and works very well. I am a complete novice and found the tufting machine easy to set up and use. Overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase
Tuft Love is amazing!!!! Geoff is so friendly and helpful.
Just unpacked and set it up. Anticipation is my favorite part of starting something new! Looks like it’s going to be FUN!
Quick and helpful service!
You’re amazing. The help I got from the staff to learn what I need starting out was the best. Reddit had a few post praising your company and I completely agree. Top notch company.
Gifted to my partner for Christmas. Delivery was super fast to the East Coast and she's absolutely thrilled.
I'm very very beginner, I've hand punched some small coasters before but nothing else. I asked for these machines for my birthday and I'm having so much fun! It was a bit of a learning curve but mostly with yarn tension more so than the machine - super easy to work with and super satisfying!!
This is perfect for the beginner. I always seem to want to start big but for someone who has never tufted before, start with a small frame, like what's included in this kit. My only gripe is with the tack strips. I had no clue they were directional. Took a fat minute to discover I had them on backwards. Adding that tidbit to the assembly instructions may help more than myself.
I’m very excited to be able to loop pile with a separate gun 💕💕💕
Theses tufting guns are awesome. So much quieter and and a lot more sturdy then the one I got from Amazon(only lasted 4 months). Super comfortable to hold and use. Love them.
Works smoothly. Enjoying my journey.
Everything in the box was wonderful....except one item. The instruction pages felt like copies of copies and were difficult to see the images as everything was in black and white and a bit blurry.
