The invention relates to a method of producing tufted articles such as a carpet or blanket product. An object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing tufted articles or products using a face-to-face technique to increase significantly production throughput and to offer a useful alternative choice in the production of carpet or blankets or other tufted products. To achieve this, the invention mainly provides a method of producing tufted products including the steps of: installing a second set of reed fingers (8) relative to a tufting machine; optionally installing lower presser foot (5); feeding to the tufting machine a pair of backing sheets (7, 9) with the second set of reed fingers (8) positioned between the backing sheets (7, 9); operating the tufting machine in normal manner to form through the backing sheets (7, 9), a face-to-face structure without the inclusion of any backing stitch and in which the lower presser foot (5) if included temporarily holds the yarn during needle retraction; cutting or dividing the face-to-face structure to form two separate tufted products. The invention also provides for a tufting machine for carrying out such a procedure.
