Hello Does anyone out there know a source for the backing needed for the Tapimatic rug making machine? It is a type of latch hook backing with a double mesh, 3.3 holes. It has to be double mesh. The Zweigert mesh I tried did not work. I would really like to be able to use the machine. Thanks, Mike

Hey Mike I have the machine as well.... I was diaappointed to hear thet the double stranded zweigert did not work. I had taken a piece of my origina l mesh and laid it over a zweigert sample and they matched. Let me know h ow you make out with this... ( snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com)
Hi,
does anyone of you have a scan of the pattern cards for me? I have the machine but no pattern card.
thanks
I had a lot of fun making and creating rugs until the cogs broke. I dont know how to get another. I would appreciate anyone to please help. Many thanks, Jen
Hi Mike. Does anyone still create with the rug maker? Hope so. I still have mine.
There's an off-chance that the cogs are standard and can be replaced.
Thank you so much Joy. The rug maker still has a lot to offer.,Do you have any idea where I could get replacement please. I have a table made especially for it.
I haven't a clue. You might try posting in rec.arts.sf.fandom with the subject line "AKICF: rug-loom cogs"
AKICF stand for "All knowledge is contained in fandom."
It seems like the sort of post that would start a long and complicated thread branching into several unrelated topics, and r.a.s.f. has been slow of late.
Hi Jen, there is a Tapimatic for sale on the Goodwill website very cheaply. Might be a good option. Anne
Thank you so much. I will try
Thanks Anne. Appreciate your message. Will investigate
Hi Jen, I have the tapimatic rug making machine but no frame. If you want it let me know and we can come up with a price.
Thanks Lisa. I am relocating so would prefer to give to someone as is. Do you want the frame? Also the especially made table that I would prefer to sell. Regards Jen
3D printers can make image I believe and the use of resin is helpful. However I would really appreciate someone else using my machine and "go create" . Nursing homes etc could make items for fund raising etc
Hi I have just purchased a singer tapimatic from an op shop. It seems to be missing the board and frame. Any chance anyone knows where I could source these please. Thankyou
