Omg…Thank you so much for making this article ❤. I’ve been wanting to make a rag rug for awhile now. I got everything I needed to get started but I just couldn’t find a tutorial that I could follow. I’m not sure why but your article made it so much more easier for me then anyother one that I’ve watched. Your rag rugs are very beautiful, love the colors that you use also. Once again thank you for teaching me a lost art and I hope to make many beautiful peices of my own.
I have a SERIOUS problem with starting the knots…i just can’t seem to follow well….lol, i wish someone would do a article from BEHIND…may be easier for me to follow….i guess my brain is wired weird because perusal from front messes me up. I have made a rug, but when i go to pick it up, its loose and goes into a cone shape? I just can’t understand what i’m doing wrong
Starting a project is always the hardest part! I am going to try using one piece folded in half at my first knot, to make the center prettier. I have been making my rugs by repurposing men’s cotton XXL shirts. The fabric is woven, and the same on both sides. I even press the edges inside so no frayed edges show. Love to make these! Thank you for your article!
This is only a small sample of the article you have to purchase to learn to make these rugs…I purchased this article a couple of years ago and it is EXCELLENT! She goes step by step slowly, and with great detail in how to make these rugs…I guarantee you that you will not be disappointed with buying her article… I made two beautiful rugs, and there still in excellent shape…you can throw them in the washer and dryer, and they come out awesome… you also need to purchase the toothbrush tool which is not expensive at all…
