Thank you very much for the great tip on the edges. I'm working on a project and I wished I would have followed your way. On my next one, I'll keep your idea in mind.
I did latch hooking years ago and really enjoyed it. I plan to quit smoking for the new year and will be 'hooking' again to keep my hands busy. Really looking forward to it - both the hooking and being smoke free, lol! This was a good refresher. Love your accent! I'm a hopeless Anglophile. Hello from St. Petersburg, Florida.
Hi Janet. Yes, just two layers of the canvas on the corners, leaving a little flap. You can put a fabric backing on your rug if preferred. There are also other coatings available. Regards Clare
Hi Yvonne. You don't need to restart. Just fold the edges under and do the technique from where ever you are at the moment. Then at least some of your project has this edge and also you get to try it out. If you are bent on restarting, you only need to do the edges but make sure you have plenty of yarn for those that are spoilt when you pull them out. Good luck. Clare x
Hi Melissa. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. As for washing your rugs I have the following advice. Your edges and knots overall need to be tight and secure or they will come undone. Speaking for other companies kits, I cannot be sure as to the quality of materials but I have found most kits can be hand washed in warm soapy water and rinsed and then placed flat on a towel to dry, do not hang at corners. Or if your washing machine has a delicate gentle cycle and you trust it then you can use it under caution. Hope this helps. Regards Clare x
Hi Jessica. I like to spray my cushions and rugs with 'Scotch Guard' which is a similar protective spray and many people use it for protecting new special shoes and handbags etc. Works well. Regards Clare
Could you glue the binding on or do you have to sew it? If sewing, is it the same as in your older video? Will probably be ordering a kit after I finish projects in the queue
Hi Michelle. You can get self adhesive rug binding but I have never used it myself. I have read comments about it curling up at the edges and dust collecting on it but if your project is to be a wall hanging then I don't expect this would be a problem. I have no idea if you could glue the rug binding I use onto the back of your project but if done well, I don't see why not. I am just a stitcher by nature and so that is what I like to do. Take care. Clare x
@@michellehenson984 Hi again Michelle. You don't need a sewing machine to bind your rug. I always hand sew mine on. A sewing machine would go right through and spoil your project. So glad you are enjoying latch hook. xx
Hi Mary. Thanks for your message. You don't really need to worry about your corners as when using this method is just forms a sort of triangular pocket with the canvas and is fine left as it is. You can then choose to bind your edges with rug binding to cover this or not, it is up to you. Clare x
Hi Robert. If you are in the UK you can buy the rug canvas and yarn from my website www.utterlyhookeddesigns.co.uk/store/c1/utterlyhookeddesigns if not I suggest you search on the internet for a delivery to where you live. You are looking for rug canvas a precut rug yarn. Regards Clare
Hi Pamela. Thanks for your question. If you do the folded double canvas technique you don't have to stitch rug binding on if you don't want to. If it is going to be a wall hanging, it really isn't necessary. I like to stitch the binding on as well afterwards but only because all my rugs are designed to be used and as the edges of a rug are the most vulnerable, it gives added protection for wear and tear. After all when you have done all that work you really want to take care of your project. Hope this helps. Regards Clare
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns Clare, thanks for the quick response. I'm wrapping a wall hanging, and starting a rug. I'll use stitched binding on the wall hanging, then start off the rug with the folded and then do the stitched binding and anti-slip paste. I can't find the anti-slip spray here in the U.S. so i'm planning on using the paint brush applied anti-slip from Herrschners. So pleased to have found your videos.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge... I always wanted to make my own.. I have to use my husbands page, mine don’t get these videos. Why but one for hundreds of dollars when you can make your own..
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns I had some queries i wanted to ask you about. if i could send you some pictures and explain me.. if you could share your email ID. Thanks You.
I wish I saw this before I started my rug, because you’re AMAZING!!! 🤩
Aww thanks so much Candi. Glad to help. Next time you can give it a go. Clare x
Very clever! I am definitely going to try this!
Hi Jenifer. Thanks so much. Regards Clare
Thank you very much for the great tip on the edges. I'm working on a project and I wished I would have followed your way. On my next one, I'll keep your idea in mind.
Thanks Diane. Glad to help. Clare
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns you're very welcome.
I checked out your store. I love your designs. Especially the one called Arizona. I will be ordering the kit someday 😊

Hi Audre. Thanks for your lovely message. Good luck with giving up smoking and I think latch hooking will help keep your hands busy! Regards Clare
Thank you for showing me this. I am making a rug and wanted a nice finish on the edges.
Hi Linda. You are very welcome. Regards Clare
Thank you - very useful
Hi Annie. You are very welcome. Regards Clare
Totally useful and love your details! Thanks 😊
You are so welcome! Regards Clare
Thanks a lot lady Your videos are very very helpful 👍🏻🌹😘
You are welcome!
go through just 2 layers on the corners? i think that is it
also any other ideas for a backing rather than the paint on stuff thanks again
Hi Janet. Yes, just two layers of the canvas on the corners, leaving a little flap. You can put a fabric backing on your rug if preferred. There are also other coatings available. Regards Clare
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns thank you was thinking of fabric backing also just to protect it going to try tomorrow wish me luck lol again thanks
Wish I'd seen this may restart mine

Hi Clare I did just that, didn't have to undo much but it's a great idea thanx. I'll show you once I've completed my project.
@@yvonnebass9717 Hi Yvonne. So glad you got sorted. Would love a piccie! Clare x
This is celever idea I would like to try thank you!!!!!
Hi Clare another awesome video tutorial. On my next rug I need to try this. How do you wash the completed rugs when the get dirty?
Hi Melissa. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. As for washing your rugs I have the following advice. Your edges and knots overall need to be tight and secure or they will come undone.

@@UtterlyHookedDesigns Now that's a thorough and considerate answer!
@@plauditecives Thanks so much!
On the front of the rugs, do you recommend spraying a water resistant spray to prevent it from getting so dirty?
Hi Jessica. I like to spray my cushions and rugs with 'Scotch Guard' which is a similar protective spray and many people use it for protecting new special shoes and handbags etc. Works well. Regards Clare
Could you glue the binding on or do you have to sew it? If sewing, is it the same as in your older video? Will probably be ordering a kit after I finish projects in the queue

UtterlyHookedDesigns well then I’ll avoid that and just hand sew - don’t own a machine. And I’m definitely “hooked’!😄

@@michellehenson984 Have you looked at my other video on how to bind your rug. Clare x
UtterlyHookedDesigns on the agenda for the day. Hand sewing has its relaxing benefits, too. Thanks for much and please stay safe.
Beautiful 🌸🌸🌹🌹

How do you finish the
corners on the rug? Enjoyed watching your videos from Maine in USA.
