I would not use it for an everyday rug but a special accent rug yes! Maybe under a chair or in front of the fireplace,

My thought about doing it that way too. It would be much simpler.

I wonder how difficult it would be to use a double knit. That stuff wears like iron anyway.

Right now I am searching for the perfect rug for my bathroom. Of course I can't find the right color or size.... I think this would be a great addition, but would not use LQS fabrics unless they were off the closeout rack.... Wal-mart or SAS would be the way to go for me.

Thanks for the link!

If you try stitch the cord in as you go along, be sure to use a zipper presser foot to allow you to get close to the cord.

This is a neat way to make a rug ! The Hoffman fabrics are so pretty too.

I would think that Duck Cloth would work great, being heavier, and it comes in great patterns now, not just solids. I have a sizable stash of Duck Cloth, too. For sure I am going to give this a try really soon. Jinnie
