For most projects, a sturdy tufting cloth with a distinct weave structure is the best choice. It offers sufficient grip while working and helps to tuft more tightly. Pay close attention to the dimensions of your cloth and choose a size that fits your frame and design.

A complete set is often handy when you are just starting out. That way, you have the most important basic products at hand all at once and can be sure that everything fits together well. If you already have certain materials or experience, you can also choose individual products that suit your way of working.
