Primary Tufting Fabric with Yellow Lines
This primary tufting fabric provides the base on which you create your design with your tufting gun.
Its double-weave, double-warp structure is designed to withstand repeated needle passes, while its yellow guide lines provide practical reference points for stretching your fabric, positioning your design and finding your way as you tuft. Compatible with Cut Pile and Loop Pile, it’s suitable for beginners and for all kinds of tufting projects.
Why choose this primary fabric?
The yellow guide lines, spaced 5 cm apart, make it easier to check that your fabric is aligned when stretching it over your frame. They also serve as reference points for positioning your design and finding your way as you work, especially when creating lines or geometric shapes.
With its double-weave, double-warp structure and weight of 260 g/m², this fabric is designed for use with a tufting gun.
It’s compatible with our various AK tufting guns and can be used for both Cut Pile and Loop Pile.

Choose the yellow-line fabric if you’d like to use the visual reference points built directly into the fabric to make it easier to set up and follow your design.
Premium primary fabric is a better choice if you’re looking for firmer support, especially for large formats or more demanding projects.
Stretching your fabric properly before tufting
Proper fabric tension is important for working effectively with your tufting gun.
Gradually secure the fabric to the grippers on your frame, distributing the tension across all sides. The fabric should be taut and remain stable when you apply pressure with your tufting gun.
When should you upgrade to premium fabric?
Once you’ve mastered the basics, our premium primary fabric offers firmer support and a more professional finish - ideal for large formats and demanding projects. To complete your setup, also explore our finishing fabrics for the back of your rug.
