Can't wait to get a reply. Your rug is beautiful!

This is a tutorial on how to do the rug. I use a size 16 needle and a zig zag stitch. you need a flat surface next to your machine to support the rug as you're sewing it-if the rug bends over the side of the machine it will not lay flat when you are done. Anne
