Some Advice On Tufting Curved Lines

1, when doing curves slow your gun down and press a little extra firmly and just outline the color first that way you can fight with the gun when filling it in but your lines will be straight so you won’t have to worry about the wavy lines.

2,When I first started, I did the tap method where you only go a tap of the trigger at a time. When I got better, found curves to be easiest when I went in one confident motion, basically steering the gun with my back hand on the trigger around curves. Remember that you can always go over weird lines to essentially "color in" the correct shape and fix everything later during trimming.

3, Slow pulses and don't be afraid to go from the bottom up, then top down (meeting in the middle).

4, I do my curves lines in straight lines or pulse and move slowly.

5, I just continue to go up and down or down and up.
Also it’s good to the outline of the picture so when you go up and down you don’t have to worry about the curves getting missed out.
