Abstract: A method and system for tufting fabrics are disclosed. In addition a number of alternative tufting heads are disclosed. The method and system take into account at least one of the following factors: the direction of traverse with respect to filaments, any change in direction of traverse, the yarn type and thickness, the orientation of the needle with respect to the filaments, the distorting effect the needle has on the filament grid network when it is inserted into the backing, and the backing. The position of the needle relative to the positions of the tufts in the pattern is adjusted in order to compensate for positional errors introduced by the factors mentioned. The tufting heads are also modified to make them suitable for automation.
