What is the best way to join fabric ends when making/crocheting a rag rug?


I have joined the ends by sewing and by cutting a slit in each end and threading my fabric strips through it, but I am wondering if anyone is successful at other methods. I know that someone out there must have different ideas!

Ask the website owner at http://www.ruglady.net She will be able to help you! There is also a basic rag rug dvd available with terrific instructions for putting together a crochet rag rug. You do not need to sew the ends. There is a way you can knot the ends together.

Basic Instructions to Make a Rag Rug - (1) INTRO



Does anyone know how to make braided rugs from rags(old clothes)?


I would like to give braided rugs as gifts to some elderly people that just can't afford much of anything. I've seen them at garage sales but have never made one. I am hoping some1 here knows or has made some. Thanks & yes I do give best answers & a comment for all your help.

Assemble:

* Old, clean clothes (no denim, corduroy or heavy wool)
* Scissors
* Basting thread
* Buttonhole twist or quilting thread
* Straight pins
* Heavy-duty needle (a semi-circular needle is helpful, but not necessary)

1. Gather old, clean clothes like tee shirts, skirts, housecoats, shirts - anything but denim, corduroy, or heavy wool. (They are too heavy to sew through.) Cut off all the buttons, zippers, and hooks and eyes, and save them for other projects.

2. Cut or tear the cloth into three-inch wide long strips. Sew several of these long lengths together, end to end, mixing and matching the patterns.

3. Fold the frayed edges inward about a 1/4 inch, then fold the strip in half. Finger press the turned in edges of your “tails.” (Instead of getting out the iron, run the edges between your fingers to crease them. Finger pressing is sometimes done in quilting.) Secure with just enough straight pins so the folds stay in place.

4. Pin three long tails together at the top and braid them, keeping the braid as flat as possible. Continue to sew on more tails, braiding them as you go.

5. Decide on the shape of your rug.

*

For an OVAL RUG:

Beginning in the center of the rug, lay a 6 to 8 inch length of braid flat on a table and start coiling the rest of the braid around this length, butting the sides of the braid together and loosely pinning them. Sew this long braid into a flat oval with doubled quilting thread or heavy buttonhole twist by making running stitches about 1/4 inch apart.

You do a running stitch by simply making a continuous looping stitch down through the top of the fabric and back up through the bottom with, in this case, about a 1/4 inch distance between the stitches.

*

For a ROUND RUG, the technique is the same except the center length beginning the coil needs to only be 1 to 2 inches long, which will form a circle instead of an oval.

Make your rug as large as you need. Small to medium size rugs are best because they can be cleaned in the washing machine. Small rugs can be used as placemats or table doilies for a country look.
