Tips * Prewashing fabric not only removes the risk of bleeding or shrinkage but also makes it easier to work with. * Consistency in stitch gauge is imperative. Work on getting every stitch the same. * Check your rug frequently for flatness. Correct any problems immediately. * All rugs look weird to begin with. Keep going. * Rug start is done using a half hitch. The nature of this stitch is to spiral. That's normal. Keep going. * Never mix fabric types. 100% cotton works best. * Practice is the best of all instructors.
