I trim the edge to 1/8" from the stitching line and then sew the strips together keeping the seam line on the inside of the shape. No raw edges show. So much easier and faster then wrapping fabric around the line.

Making a matching bowl with the leftover line today. Oh 56" of line makes a perfect size coaster.
The only real difference is the clothes line is round. These rugs are made with batting, making a flatter rug surface. Both are fun, easy and functional.
