Page "Rug making" Paragraph 7

Using either yarn or strips of cloth, you work with the punch tool from the back side of the pattern.

The Monk ’ s cloth backing is tightly stretched on to a frame.

Every time you punch the needle down through the backing, it makes a long thread on the right side of the rug.

Then, as you lift the needle, it automatically makes it into a loop.

These loops pack together to create a rug so solid that chewing dogs and clawing cats are its only enemy.

As long as you use the tool correctly, it will automatically make all the loops the same length.
