Yes it does. I made one and it will be the only one I ever make. It turned out pretty but it is a lot of work.

I'm a little dismayed to hear from several people how difficult these rugs are. I bought the pattern but haven't tried it yet. Please post yours when it's finished.

WAtch the You Tube video from Jordan Fabrics. She has great tips. They are not difficult to make. I prefer Wonder Clips by Clover. Vs. straight pins...fyi.

I had purchased the Bosal filler to make a rug, but after reading so many reports about rugs warping out of shape I decided not to try and sold the Bosal. Yep, I chickened out!

also worried about this but 3 of us are making together so we can help each other
after watching all the videos i think steaming as you go is the trick
will let you know i don`t know what date we are getting together yet as everyone is getting strips sewed with bat before we get together
