Quick-finish their rug to hang or admire from the floor

Preparing for the Session:
Please prepare to arrive 15 minutes before the beginning of class. We begin class and instruction at the time listed on your ticket. Anyone arriving once we've started may not be granted entry and will be required to reschedule (additional fees apply) or forfeit the ticket cost.
Complicated color gradients or textures (tufting works best in "blobs" of color)
Lettering, fine line details, or lots of line work (these tend to blend together, and you'll end up using a lot of time filling in the space around these with other colors)
Using all the colors of the rainbow (you'll be sharing yarn so this might stall your work). We suggest 4-5 colors or less.
We understand things come up, so we want to provide our attendees with some options. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.

Finish Options for Tuft It Today Workshops & Afternoon Sessions:
Quick Finish - (Included) This is our standard decorative finish, and you can take your rug home with you the same day. We use spray adhesive to lay the slip-resistant felt backing onto the back of your rug, and then you'll cut out your project and trim the front with our carpet scissors. If you're putting this on a wall or in a corner where it won't get too much traffic, we recommend this as a less expensive option.
Studio Pro Finish Package - ($45 Lasts a Lifetime). LITERALLY. We recommend this backing because it will lock the fibers in place for generations. We use a commercial latex adhesive that cures to a super flexible rug, giving it some weight and durability so you won't have to worry about your dog, cat, child, or jerk friend that touches and pulls on everything they see. After we've cut out your rug, we'll machine-level the top of your project so that all your details and colors POP, then round out the edges for that quality-finished detail.
