Practicing citations

Wool is the traditional fibre used in pile tufting and is considered to be a high-quality material, especially for pieces designed to be used in high-traffic areas.^[1]

Tufting produces both practical and decorative pieces with many uses and effects. The short format of TikTok and Instagram reels lends itself well to the process of tufting, providing a platform for the textile artform to reach a wider audience.^[2]^[3]

Primary backing fabric must be stretched tightly to the frame so that it is stable enough to withstand the pressure of the tufting gun and taught enough for the yarn to be held in place.^[4]

Tufting requires the use of specialised primary backing fabric, which is often composed of woven polypropylene.^[5]
