I started tufting four or five years ago.

Visitors can walk through much of the workspace, where staff members are on hand to demonstrate and explain the weaving, knitting, lasering, tufting and embroidery techniques employed today.

Check that the fabric pattern matches, and also look for other quality points, such as sturdiness of the frame, cleaned and brightened exposed wood, even tufting, tight stitching, and smooth and ample padding.

Mr. Porten was there to help her master the operation of a tufting gun, the tool she uses to create much of her fiber art.

“Don’t hold back if you hate the tufting on the sofa or the fringe on the pillows.”
