Tufting eats materials by the pound — yarn off the cone, primary cloth stretched on the frame, then the glue-up, backing, and carve that turn loose loops into a rug. Add the gun, the shears, and a commission queue of custom logos, and the money moves fast in both directions. MadeKeeper keeps the cones, the cloth, and the queue on one ledger.

Say you tuft a 24-inch commission:
At $120 you keep $96.67 before fees — about $19.33 an hour across the five hours of tufting, glue-up, and carving. Now the $160 quote for the next logo commission has a floor under it.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Each color logs as its own material by the pound. A rug's recipe pulls what it used — weigh the rug if you want it exact — and the cone wall stops being a guess before every supply order.
Equipment is an expense, not a material — log it once and it shows in your year-end numbers. Gun consumables like needles and maintenance can ride each rug as a small per-piece share.
Yes — a custom rug logs with its deposit and balance, its design notes, and its deadline. The books know which rugs are promised, paid, and shipped, even when the queue is fifteen deep.
