WORKSHOP:           You can still attend this workshop if you haven’t taken Part 1 – Beginner Portuguese Rug Making

                               Finishing techniques focusing on 3 main objectives:

                                 1) completing the border line, mitering corners and finishing it in a “professional” manner

                               2) creating a handsewn fringe border using a tapestry needle and yarn. This stitch can be applied to a variety of projects in rug                                       hooking and sewing.

                               3) weaving on a small loom to create an amazing fringe will be set-up for all to practise on. To complete your rugs or trivets –                                         these fringes can be worked (by the yard) in about an hour or so. 

                                 Looms will be available in class for making the fringed edging for $30.00 payable directly to Liz.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:  Yarn will be available for practising.  If you prefer, please bring 4 to 6 balls of colored yarn and
