Does cheap fabric work as well as LQS fabric. We can buy odds & ends of fab at our local Sr. center but the quality varies. This might be a way for me to begin as I haven't been quilting very long and don't have a large stash of scraps. If using cheap and higher quality fabric mixed, would it still wash OK or would the cheap shrink or maybe fade more? Thanks for the tutorial and all the questions and answers. I an currently making a braided denim rug from old levis and weaving it together with a popsicle stick - it is fun - but getting heavy!

I'm wondering (and perhaps this has been asked and answered) could we make mug rugs out of these? I think they'd be so cool! And since I'm only on page 2 and don't have time to read the rest...how do you end when you have it as big as you want?

this is my beginning rug...these are all ends of bindings I ironed flat but found that 2½" are really too wide so I cut alot of them down and found it easier to wind on the rope. I have a couple of places I need to go back and re-stitch where I missed when bobbin runs out but it was fun. :roll: it was 100 feet so think I'll just go til I run out...
my rug will be blue/cream if I have enough
