Thanks MaggieLou ... no luck on the googles for anything here yet. Called Michael's, Lowes and Home Depot and no luck. Now that of course doesn't say it doesn't exist as sad to say customer service in the three is never known as a strong point!

Thinking I might contact Testworth direct to find their Canadian distributor, I found this ...

Perhaps the production rights were sold off to someone else?

Does the product keep the carpet/fabric flexible? or does it become somewhat hard?
Thanks!

Amazon.com has it. Go to Amazon and search sat-t-bak.

I started to make a rag rug, had the front and back cut and decided not to finish. It was a circle so I used the front as a window valance hung over a rod. The back I decided to quilt and use it as a rug in the bathroom. Works great. Tried to load a picture but it isn't working.

I am going to have to try the drop cloths method.

Don't think I'm ready to use quilts as rugs, but....I did see a suggestion to run squiggly lines of latex caulk or hot glue on the back of a rug instead of buying the rug grippers.

Like all the ideas, will try the drop cloth method first - think that would really work well for my needs. Thanks everyone for all the info

They are beautiful!! I'm not sure I could bring myself to walk on one of the quilts, but the canvas I'd have no problem with!!

There are 2 different kinds of floor quilts in the sites you have listed. The first one is about making a quilt and just using it on the floor. The second site is a book about making floor quilts that using fabric on some kind of canvas material and then using decoupage to seal the fabrics and use on the floor. We have a quilt shop owner that does classes on the decoupage rugs. I personally like the idea of making a quilt to use as a rug.....maybe....
