Yarn Not Cutting

This is the most common issue tufters face. Here are the main causes and solutions:

Common Causes

• Scissors misalignment: The cutting scissors may be out of position
• Incorrect pile height: Settings don't match your actual tufting depth
• Wrong yarn type: Using yarn too thick or thin for your gun
• Blade wear: Scissors may be dull after extended use

Solutions

1. Check scissors alignment - Ensure the scissors are properly positioned and making contact
2. Adjust pile height - Match the setting to your actual tufting depth
3. Verify yarn compatibility - Use 2-3 strands of DK or worsted weight yarn
4. Sharpen or replace scissors - Regular maintenance keeps cutting clean
5. Check threading path - Ensure yarn feeds correctly through all guides

If problems persist after these checks, consult your gun's manual for model-specific adjustments.
