I am NOT a sewer by any name, and this was so helpful!! You showed precisely what needed to be done to attach the binding to the rug. And the mitered corners-whew! Thank you!
You are a very good teacher. I made a latch hook rug but I didn’t know how to finish it. Thanks to your video, I finished it without any problems.
Hi Charlotte. Thank you so much for your lovely message. So glad I could help. Clare x

Hi Keith. So glad you are going to have a go at binding your rug. Glad to help. Regards Clare
Thanks a lot Clare. Done 1/2 going well Again manny thanks. Keith
I have been so nervous that binding my rug would be difficult as I am a beginner in all things latch hook and binding. Thank you so much for all of the information about the amount of binding and the length of the threading to use!! I feel much more confident that I can figure this out and fully complete my second latch hook rug! ^_^
Hi jStefanie. So Please to have been of help. I also have a tutorial on binding a circular rug that my might find useful. Clare x
I could not get the sound on my computer to work, but watching what you did to finish off the rug was great. Even I understood, didn't need words. I am trying to finish a rug for my daughter and her husband, as a house warming gift for their first house. Thank you, thank you!!
Hi Michele. You are very welcome. Sometimes actions do speak louder than words! Clare x
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I took a rug hooking class back when I was in the 8th grade.....now I am 55 and decided to try it again....very easy and relaxing! I was unsure how to bind it after.....now I know that will be easy too!
This is exactly what I needed to know. I made a Latch Hook pillow 36 years ago in home ec. This year I decided to make on for my best friend for Christmas. She knows very well I procrastinate, we've been bff for 41years. I couldn't remember how to do the binding. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome Lisa. Clare x
Since it's been so. long since I've completed a latch hook project including binding. I've watched your video several times. The directions were easy to follow, easy to understand, and complete. Thank you so much for your help. God Bless.

Hi Marcy. So glad I could help. Take care. Clare x
Thank you so much for making this video tutorial. It was easy to follow and understand. I wish I had seen this years ago when I was making so many latch hook kits. I'm going to have to see if I saved any that I had worked on. If I find ones that I completed, then I'm going to bind them off and give them as gifts. Please leave this video tutorial up. Thank you so much.
Hi Meredith. So glad to help and don't worry, I haven't any plans to take this tutorial off my channel. Clare x

Hi Debbie. Thank you so much and glad to help. The rug design is one of my own as I have a website where I sell lots of things Latch Hook! Clare x
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns I will have to ck it out!
When I first started doing latch hook making I really enjoyed it I did about 405 projects but the thing was I never know how to finish off the ages and it always look bloody awful when I done it but I'm glad I've gone on to UA-cam to see how to do it properly it's been a long time since I've done anything like this I've tried knitting crochet I enjoy cross stitching a lot but I don't get to do it very often now because I'm a full-time carer so I need something else to occupy my mind but the only thing is I find the latch hook making rugs are very expensive you looking at about £30 upwards
Hi Dawn. Glad to hear you are such a latch hooking fan. Regards Clare
Thank you so much, great video ;)
Thank you so much George. Regards Clare
I'm going to try this on my little rug I just finished! first one I've done, I hope it turns out well!
Hi Aleah. So pleased to hear that you have completed your first rug. You will have no problem, just follow the tutorial and you will soon have a lovely finished rug! Clare x

You are very welcome. Clare
Thank you so much for the easy to follow tutorial. I haven’t finished a latch hook in many years. Your instructions are perfect!!! Could you possibly post one for finishing a round rug? I have a tree skirt I need to bind and am currently at a loss.
Thanks again!!
Hi Geraldine. Thanks for your lovely message. I have done this video too! Here is the link. Take care. Clare x ua-cam.com/video/KBuJjXQ_ut4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=UtterlyHookedDesigns
Thank you was very helpful
Hi Debbie. Glad to help! Regards Clare
Thank you.
Thank you for that I can know bind them I'm on my 5th one xx
Fantastic Ann Marie! Happy Hooking. Clare x
This is nice for a finished look, but I fold the canvas edges in and latch. Might be a little harder on the fingers for a bit, because you're latching 2 layers, but won't need finishing.
Hi Vicki. I latch the double layers too and also bind as it protects the most vulnerable part of your project, especially if it is going to be a rug. However many people find the double latching hard and this is a great alternative. Clare x
Great tutorial, many thanks. I guess this technique would also work on cross stitched or tapestry rugs?
Hi there. Yes, it works well with those and lots of other techniques. Regards Clare
Me, finally hooking my last piece in the latch hook rugafter like five years: uh. okay now what.
Hi there! I would now bind it , enjoy it and start another one! Clare x
Hi Clare,
Thank you for this video it's so helpful! I've just finished my first rug and I'm ordering the bits now to bind it. Please can I ask, why when I'm measuring the perimeter do I need to double it? Many thanks, Courtney
Hi Courtney. Slip of the tongue! You don't need to double it. Glad to help. Clare x
Thank you so much. Now I feel ready to bind my first rug. May I ask if the rug you are demonstrating on is a kit that can be purchased?
I would love to make that one for my Russian granddaughter.
Hi Beverly. So glad I could help. You can purchase the rug kit design on my website. I also ship overseas (just in case you are not in the UK). Here is the link to my website. Look up The Matryoshka Dolls kit under rug kits. Regards Clare

Hello Clare,
Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I just finished a latch hook project, however instead of using it as a rug, I prefer to frame it and hang it on the wall. Would you please help me to get some ideas on how to do ? I mean to say, should I do the edges like it is shown in this video and then frame it? Now it’s like the last piece of yarn is done with the edges left as it is. Kindly give me some ideas as this is my very first latch hook project that I have done with so much of passion.
Thanks so much for your lovely message. I have messaged you on FB. xx
Thank you
You are very welcome Yvonne.
Thank you! I just finished a little project and wasn't sure how to do the edges. Now I know! Your tutorial is very easy and straightforward and explained very well. Thank you. My question is do you use anything on the rest of the back to keep the yarn from un doing itself? Like a spray glue or a non-skid rug backing glue? Thanks again
Hi There. Thank you for you message and so glad to help. In answer to your question re backing., yes I like to use a rubber spray called Super Grip. It does a great job. It seals the back and fixes the strands and is non slip too, plus easy to apply and non messy. Hope this helps. Clare
Thank you so so much!
This is a great tutorial. I thought that I could insert a layer of backing fabric and sandwich it in. Does that seem appropriate?
Hi Roni. Yes you can do this . Regards Clare
Thanks for the tutorial, what is an anchor stitch, same as an over stitch. Although I think I have caught what an over stitch is. This is my first attempt, so I am a very novice old man trying very hard. Is there a book I can read.
Hi There. Yes, an anchor stitch is the same as an over stitch. I am afraid I don't know of a latch hooking book but if you have any more queries, I am happy to try and help. If you go on my website there is a Hints and Tips page, you might find this helpful to. Regards Clare
www.utterlyhookeddesigns.co.uk/hintsandtips.html
Thanks so much for your advice! I’m a novice and cut too close to my work and now the canvas is unravelling, do you have any tips 😅
Hi Maddie. I am afraid that once the edge of the canvas has been compromised the only alternative is to unpick 3 to 4 rows. You can then fold under and stitch a line down the canvas to reinforce it and then perhaps add back another row or two depending on how successful this is. The other way is to unpick several rows, overlap with another piece of canvas then hook through both layers. Then you get all your design. Hope this helps. Regards Clare
I am reading this five months after you posted this. I assume you finished your canvas by now. Wanted to say: I started my first latch hook wall hanging recently. Right away, I thought to myself, "What if the canvas unravels?" Since I was deep into bookbinding during the pandemic, "PVA glue" struck my mind. It is so strong. It dries quickly ... a tiny amount on a toothpick applied to the canvas .. here and there ... I think would stop the unraveling. Just wanted to say that. I'm sure you've already finished your project. Hope it turned out for you!

Hi, im trying to find rug binding in the uk and cotton bias binding keeps coming up can I use this?
Hi Laura. Thanks for your message. You don't want bias binding as it has a stretch to it, you need cotton herringbone binding and I sell this on my website as do others. Here is the link www.utterlyhookeddesigns.co.uk/store/p46/RugBinding.html
Warmest Regards
Clare
Just about to try to do this! Cross fingers!
Hope it goes well for you. Regards Clare
Thanks
You are welcome
When you sat stitch into the canvas do you mean stitch into the actual canvas grid or just the canvas holes?
Hi Sarah. You don't stitch right through the canvas to the other side as this would pull your yarn strands. You just catch it a little along with the back of the yarn. Regards Clare
Just watched tutorial. Thanks for the great instructions. But am I missing something? at the beginning when you talk about the supplies you say to measure the perimeter and times it by 2?? Then add 6 inches for overlap, etc. Why do you times it by 2? Seems like you'd have twice as much as you need. Am I missing something?
Hi Barbara. Glad to help. You picked up on my little mistake! I always measure the length and the width and then times it by 2 and for some reason in the video I say the perimeter but you get the idea! Clare x
ok! Thanks for getting back to me.
Can you do a latch hook huggables and then do a sewing tutorial! I’m trying to see mine and I’m having a lot of trouble!
Hi Jessica. Sorry, I would love to but not the time at the moment. Have you tried the company who make them, they ought to have a tutorial. Or what about contacting a Facebook page like 'Latch Hook Rugs and the people who make them'. Someone on there may have done this and be able to give you advice. Regards Clare
I just finished rug hooking my tabby cat today. The rug binding was not included in my package. What stores in Ottawa, Canada have rug bindings?
Silvia Logan Hi Silvia. Sorry but I am in the UK so can't help you with this. Good luck.
I still don't get how to create the mitered edge and when I did the running back stich it started puckering
Hi Georgina. Sorry to hear you are having problems. The mitered corners need practice and just have a fiddle till it works out. You are forming a triangle with the binding underneath as you turn the corner. As for the puckering of your running back stitch, I think maybe you are pulling the thread too tight or going too deep into the back of your canvas and yarn.
Thank you, I really appreciate the fact you took the time to reply. I think I got my mitered edge, I did take a bit of fiddling to get it right.
Hi Georgina. So glad you've done it! It is tricky but makes sense once achieved. Clare x
How did you get the big picture like that? Or you draw on these women the rug pad or something? I want to trace some of pictures on my rug pad but I don't know how to get a bigger picture like yours. I want to hang over the wall in my room.
Hi There. I have a computer programme to design all my kits which I then print out charts for and then latch hook. You can draw directly onto the canvas, or use graph paper to do a design. Keep safe Clare
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns What kind of programme you use ? I can't draw very good neither do the graph paper.
@@MissLilRasta It is a special one for my business.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial. Where do you suggest buying the binding material? Freda Temple
Hi Freda. Thank you for your lovely message. If you are in the UK you can get binding from my website but at the moment we are not shipping overseas. Otherwise you can just get it on the internet from other stores. Take care. www.utterlyhookeddesigns.co.uk/store/c1/utterlyhookeddesigns
Can you please put up a video on doing our own original designs ??🙄
Also, is the iron-on rug binding better than the sew-on binding??🤔
Hi Joyce. This is something I would like to do but just never seem to have the time. I will be popping a short video on my FB page soon with a simple design for people to copy. I prefer the sew on binding as the iron on never sticks properly and curls at the edges very quickly. Hope this helps. Clare
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns Thanks so much for answering my text. And yes, I found out the iron-on rug binding does make my mat/rug curl at the edges.
But they are so easy to use, I hate to give them up.😊
Very good program you have. ❤👏
@@joycemeeks3965 Thank you Joyce! Clare x
I tried to find your facebook page but it doesn't exist😪
Hi Bobby. I do exist! Here is the link. Don't know why you couldn't find me. facebook.com/utterlyhookeddesigns/
What u use on the backing of it
Hi Chrissy. I use a Rubber Spray called Super Grip.
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns okay thanks
Why do you need to measure the entire perimeter then multiply by 2?
Hi, that was my little mistake. I usually measure the length and width and x 2 but had already said measure the whole perimeter. Hope that's clear. Regards
Clare
@@UtterlyHookedDesigns I thought that might be what happened, but also considered that I may have been misunderstanding something. Thank you for the reply! 👍
Have you ever made a hook and latch that is pieces! Like a teddy bear?
Hi Sheila. Sorry, no, I haven't tried this. Clare
Was that one a kit? If so where can I get it?
Hi Ashleigh. Yes, this is on of my kits and I sell it on my website. If you are from overseas please check out the shipping page for details on how to order. Here is the link to my website. Thanks. Clare www.utterlyhookeddesigns.co.uk/store/c1/utterlyhookeddesigns
Don't quiet understand what the white band was for, why does we need that?
Hi there. It is called rug binding and it protects the edge of your rug which is the most vulnerable part when in use and covers up the turned edge. Regards Clare
