Scrap Rug
#224
I love this idea and I have practiced a little, making a small bowl and a couple coasters. I have started to make an oval rug, being careful to try to keep it flat as I sew. It is now about the size of a placemat and it still seems to want to curl up. What am I doing wrong?

Are you supporting the side of the rug on the left side of the machine?---keeping the unsewn covered rope straight and not twisted as you sew it to the rest of the rug? I have a tendency to turn the rope as I bring it close the needle --that will keep it from laying flat. Anne

This is basically the same technique used to make wrapped bowls, plates, pots, etc. Really a cool technique!!! They are really fun & sooooooo easy to make!!!! In fact, it seems the larger & uglier the print, the better a plate, rug, bowl, or pot it makes!!! Try it.....you'll like it!!!!!
