it got me wondering what happens to the other side w/o the white/dots on it--some of it has holes through it.....
when i cut selvages off, i cut BOTH sides off, not just the white/dot side

Will try to get her to take a pic and send it to me--she does not have the Net at home right now...
She uses 1/4" or wider. prefers 1/2" or so.
I roll them up in a ball using the "cut a slit and pull through" method so there are no knots in the ball. I have sent her eight balls so far, and have four here...about 1/4 the size of a basketball. she is making a BIG rug for her dining room.
a neighbor of mine just brought sheets to me so Jenn(DD) can make her a heart shaped crocheted rug for her kitchen and two for her bathrooms---

what a great way to use up odds & ends.....
you're welcome to the batik selvages if you want them, but i will most likely be cutting them for another 2 wks...
PM me your addy & i will be happy to send them along......

I use selvedges even if they don't have the dots, though the ones with the dots are prettier I think. I like them because they don't unravel, so I will use the actual selvedge site for my QAYG blocks and I only have to sew down one side. I think I have a pic of this somewhere, I'll see if I can find it for ya. I say, save em and if nothing else you can use em to stuff a pillow with!!
Cheers!
