I’m pretty new to rug hooking and I have a question for you. I have a winter pattern that has snowflakes on it. The snowflakes are shaped like asterisks * How do I hook these? Do I hook a straight line then shorter lines with stops and starts in the middle and ends? Thank you for your help. I’m enjoying your videos and learning a lot.

[@w.cushingco.7414]

Cheryl you can hook them in V's or just small straight lines

[@Yoursofine1234]

Thank you very much.

Hi. Thank you for all the great information! I just placed an order with you for "tools of the trade." I was going to order labels but decided not to, but if I had seen the pretty labels you show on this video, I would have :) I also didn't see the bakelite hooks. Do you currently have these two products in stock?

[@w.cushingco.7414]

Thank you for your order!

[@w.cushingco.7414]

We have the labels in stock but not the bakelite hooks they have sold out

[@therockinwomanify]

@@w.cushingco.7414 Thank you for getting back to me. I would be interested in the labels. Price/quanity?
