A Blue and White Cotton Rug
for bedroom or bathroom. Heavy, new canton flannel is a good material for the rug and it is better to have new goods where the weave, as in this case, is to be smooth and flat.
Fig. 483.—Tack one strip of blue on the line.
Cut the canton flannel, do not tear it, into strips half an inch wide, but do not sew the strips together, and make into balls as for loom weaving; piece them as needed while the work progresses. Draw a straight line the whole length of the board one inch below the top edge, then along this line
Tack the Warp
As there is to be a blue border four inches wide, entirely around the rug, the warp at first must be all blue.
