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 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
Totally useful and love your details! Thanks 😊
You are so welcome! Regards Clare
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 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 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 Sherry. Thank you so much for your lovely message. Take care. Clare x

Thank you - very useful
Hi Annie. You are very welcome. Regards Clare
omg I love it it was easy to do
Beautiful 🌸🌸🌹🌹
Thanks Mariam
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
I've found it easier folding my edging over rather than under.
Hi Heineken. What ever you find easiest is fine.
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. 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
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns Now that's a thorough and considerate answer!
@@plauditecives Thanks so much!
Wish I'd seen this may restart mine
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 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
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

Thank you.
How do l buy this product?
Clare, If you use this approach at the beginning do you also use binding at the end or is this in place of end binding?
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.
@@pamwelty Your welcome Pamela.
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
UtterlyHookedDesigns well then I’ll avoid that and just hand sew - don’t own a machine. And I’m definitely “hooked’!😄
@@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
@@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.
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..
Hi Louie. You are very welcome. Clare

Ou acheter ce produit ?
Hi Annik. I have a website where I sell latch kits and supplies. However, I am not shipping overseas at the moment. Regards Clare
How do you finish the
corners on the rug? Enjoyed watching your videos from Maine in USA.
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
