RUG TUFTING Backing FABRIC Review | Primary Backing Fabric vs Monks Cloth vs Burlap
What is the best cloth for tufting? This week it's time for the Battle of the Tufting Cloth! I compared the top 3 options for tufting cloth that I've seen people use which are Primary Backing Fabric, Monks Cloth and Burlap. Each material was judged on four criteria - PRICE, AVAILABILITY, EASE OF USE (how easy it is to stretch and stay on the frame) and how well it TUFTS (with both the cut pile and loop pile gun).
I ranked every option first through third for each category with first place earning 3 points, second place earning 2 points and third place earning 1 point. At the end of it all I tallied up all the points to see which material came out on top.
NOTE AS OF 12/2021 : I have seen a few concerns about the longevity of burlap
DISCLAIMER - I did try to be as unbiased as possible but this is all still just my opinion. I wanted to see how these materials stacked up against one another and I thought you might like to see it as well. At the end of the day though use whatever material works for you.
