Question

ok so, i'm latch hooking this rug, and evne thouh i'm not close to being done, i'm just wondering if anybody knows how to actually make it a rug when i'm done. is it like a pillow? or do i just cut off the edge and then wa-la its a rug??

Answer 1

Usually, people put a binding around the edge of hand-hooked rugs.  Use a fairly sturdy fabric tape (ask at a crafts or sewing store.)

Put the tape along the edge(s) of the rug, on top of the good side. Sew along the rough edge, right up against the edge of the hooking. Then turn the tape to the wrong side, and glue or stitch it into place.

(If you just cut off the edge, it'll come apart in no time.)

Answer 2

just keep hooking and latching away until you get something that will cover a 10x12 room.

now,,,, get back to work.
