AK-DUO Custom model Cut & Loop Pile Tufting Gun (Hand Sewing Machine for Rugs)

Achieves long pile of 30mm and 45mm.

The AK-DUO Custom model is a specially designed tufting gun that has been adjusted to be able to drive longer piles than the regular AK-DUO.

This popular model is a 2-in-1 type that allows you to switch between cut and loop, expanding the range of expression.

When combined with a regular tufting gun, it enhances the three-dimensional feel of your work.

It is also ideal for those who want to try their hand at creating works with depth.
