| LinArt Designs Extra Finishing Instructions
Completion:
When your pattern has been completely hooked, chose a cording that makes the edge
as high as the rug hooking.
Place cording on the wrong side of the rug and fold backing over cord.
Baste the cord
all around the pattern.
Whip stitch with yarn over the cording all around your pattern. (Yarn color should compliment
your design.)
Cut leftover burlap to 1" and do final stitching of the binding by hand carefully to the rug.
Binding:
Take 1½ "cotton binding (which has been washed and pressed) and
sew the binding, starting away from the corners, approximately 1½" from your pattern edge on the right side of
your backing.
Miter the binding and the backing at the corners, trim excess backing, fold corners and stitch.
Steaming:
Steam rug on the wrong side with wet cloth.
Turn rug over and repeat.
