[quote=grammo013]I am getting so many frayed edges and this rug looks like it has none.

When I made my rugs I used a triple stitch zig zag and the frayed edges are enclosed in the stitching. If there are any "stray" threads I just trim them off. Anne

[quote=craftiladi]Hi, It depends on your machine if it has that stitch. It's a very wide zig zag that sews a few stitches as it goes from side to side. it is shown on the machine as a broken line zig zag.
generally, it is an adjustable stitch length and width.

Most Walmarts sell the cotton 3/8" x 100' rope for around $2.80. . I also use a glue stick to tack the fabric when joining the strips. I have used strips as ahort as 5 or 6 inches. For some reason after wrapping the strips, it twists so I start to make a ball with it and use clip clothespins to keep the ball together, then when you continue to wrap-- when it twists--just hold the ball up by the length you just covered and it
will untwist itself.

Search under "Recycled Rope Rug" to see the rug I made from a flannel house dress. Anne

Hi Mary, this is Mary also. I too have a Bernina and love it. I also have nylon clothes line and will attempt to use that in a rug. I have so many scraps (over 40 years worth) that I could probably make a rug as big as my house. lol Just finished 20 "crumb" 10" blocks for a quilt. Didn't make a dent in my scraps. Hope the rug will help that some. Back last Spring i ripped up old sheets and crocheted a rug for my front porch. It is about 5'X7'. It really got too big to handle on my lap. I really enjoy quilting, sewing, knitting, crocheting and of course "Quilting Board". I'm a widow, kids grown and married, so it is just me and my Maltese. I am going now and start cutting my scraps into strips. Thanks for the great tut.
