Hem a Rag Rug
When: Saturday, August 22
Time: 10:00A to 1:00P
Instructor: Loretta Stacy
Cost: $49 + $10 Materials fee (Due day of class to instructor)

Learn to hem a rag rug with a firm hem.  No corners to curl and no knots to stand on. This hem is very firm and keeps your rug flat on the floor. The student will learn to do a half Damascus and hem the rug.

Instructor will provide rag rug samples to hem. The student can take them home as an example to keep. We will use the sewing machines at AATC.

This class is for people who already have weaving experience and want to learn more about finishing off a woven rag rug.
