Mine look sloppy and I’m thinking maybe the strips aren’t a consistent enough size or thickness? Also, why do you finish in the middle? I’ve only made a few rugs but doing it that way makes it very difficult at the end.

I have assembled a collection (5) of Singers with 27, 28, 127, and 128's with original hand cranks to use with them. I taught myself to sew by sewing clothes for them and plan on introducing all five to sewing. I have some ideas about how to start them but would very much appreciate hearing some of your ideas as well. BTW, I live just down I-85 from you in High Point.<br /><br />John Thomas in NCJohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333765770447159606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-46076240609324220112017-10-19T09:50:07.413-04:002017-10-19T09:50:07.413-04:00I really like the colors of Rug #2.

I really like this type of rug, but I'm not sure I can see myself making them. Maybe when I retire and can really enjoy Pinterest, I'll get inspired!Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09365095115416468818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873280518345422701.post-30519087108152830942017-10-15T10:19:28.176-04:002017-10-15T10:19:28.176-04:00I too would appreciate any thoughts on teaching ch...I too would appreciate any thoughts on teaching children to sew.
