Welcome to the Quilting Board!
This is probably the wrong section to post this in and I will probably get in trouble...but here goes. I'm looking for a pattern, hopefully somewhere on the web, that uses polyester fabrics to make a rug. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm not able to work anymore (for now) and have no income so I'm hoping that someone will know where to find a working link on the web somewhere.
Thank you in advance for everyone's help.

I did this google search and came with with a few sites featuring Rag rugs with tutorials. I have never made one, but these may be of help to you. Just copy and paste this link to get you there.
Here's one using 2 inch squares: http://steelscraps.blogspot.com/2010...2-squares.htmlOriginally Posted by tigger5464
Here's another that is for braided ones and you can use polyester knit: http://vintagechica.typepad.com/the_...g_tutoria.html
Hope these are what you wanted! HUGS, Julie
Sew, sew, it's the threads that keep love together :>} I love sunbonnet sue,old-fashioned things like 1950's or older housewife things, and like hankies,tea towels and aprons . Thanks to some lovely members on here I now have lots of aprons in my collection !!
This is another project I have been wanting to do also. Is there a simple step by step tutorial? Thanks
Quilts are like friends - they age with you, yet never lose their warmth. Friendship promotes the good and happiness in each other.

Don't think this has posted yet. If it has, sorry.
Thank you for asking. I am bookmarking this page. I make toothbrush and found another type rug I want to try.
Way back, like in the 1980's I made several using this method and double knit polyester squares. they are great rungs but do not work well for bathmats as they don't absorb the water
I don't have a link but in either countryside magazine or backwoods home magazine there are directions on crocheting rugs with fabric. You cut the fabric in about 1" strips cutting up to about 1/2 inch on the edge of the fabric then moving over 2 inches and cut down to the other side. When you get done you have a long 1" wide strip and they you roll them in a ball and single crochet in either ovals or circles or squares or rectangles. You might search the sites for those magazines and they may have better directions than I can give you. If i can figure how to post a picture I will post a picture of my sisters rug she made this way with flannel.
I can't figure out how to post.
