i finally got it to work and even made a few upgrades so it can now be connected to a drill, has bearings and is less likely to bind it was based on the dexters wool cutter

I just got an order in from JoAnn and to be honest I already emailed them about returning it. My first project was a vintage kit and the mesh was sooo soft and easy to work with. This is hard and rigid and I didn’t even try to unfold it.

Does anywhere ship canvas out in rolls? Or does everyone fold it before they ship it out? Or is there a way to get the fold creases out of the canvas? I want to get high quality canvas for my products and I’m wondering where to look.

I have gotten a new kit and the canvas is folded a number of times. How do I get the canvas flat?

I used to love latch hook when I was a kid but haven't done anything in a long time. I am trying to do a Mike Wazowski and and Strawberry latch hook pillow for my friends kids birthday and my daughters 1st birthday. I found a strawberry pattern that I love. But for the life of me I can't find anything Mike Wasowski themed. I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas or could give me pointers on doing it from scratch

First latch hook done in a couple of years! From a kit on amazon. A gift for a friend who likes horses! This has inspired me to try my hand at working off-kit though! I'm going to try and design my own :)

A friend just introduced me to my first Hook Rug last week. It was a nice size one as well. I'd say it was an 18in x 30in one. Just guessing here. The tip he gave me was that if a color lies between 2 squares, I should choose 1 side and stay consistent with the rest. It made sense. I noticed that the instruction diagram and the end result didn't match up 100%, but it was a very small change that didn't change much of anything. I recently started another one 2 days ago. It was waay smaller in comparison, but I like the design cause it has shades and highlights and looks much more intricate. I ended up noticing a bit too late that the design was tilted diagonally a bit. I noticed about 55% into the design. The image is kinda symetrical, until I get 2/3 of the way done. This was such adisappointment cause the only fix I find is starting all over. Any tips for this beginner would help. My 3rd one just arrived yesterday. I plan on using these first 3 rugs as training, so I can get a blank canvas, lots of yarn color, and make my own design. Any advice is greatly appreciated :)

I had no clue how big this thing was when I ordered it.Its been fun but it has taken too long.Almost there!💜💜💜

Hi! I have everything for the WonderArt White Tiger pattern, yarn, canvas and hook which I obviously bought separately but I just moved and cannot find the pattern. Is there anyone out there who may have it?

I can’t decide if I should use a felt backing or not. And I’m not sure if I should use super grip or spray bond basting adhesive(for sticking on the felt, securing the threads, and for a non slip layer). I also thought about using a rug pad but I’m worried about that possibly undoing the thread loops. I looking for the most secure, yet visually appealing solution (and something that won’t damage the rug). Thanks!

Greetings fellow latchhook friends! I have extra yarn from a project and I don’t latch all the time. Wondering if anyone would like the extra yarn? I will attach a picture of the project, so you have an idea of what colors you would be getting!

I just got a bigger than usual latch hook from China off of Etsy. I haven’t done one in decades. The preprint is so light I can barely see the pattern. I was given a color chart with it but having done half of the first row I am already frustrated. I am used to the ones that have all the colors on the grid. How do you follow a chart without it taking 100 years? Excuse me if that is a dumb question.

I've been making these for a while now (something I used to do with my grandma as a kid) and I've got a pile of rugs even after giving most away as gifts. What do you normally do with all the extra rugs?

Halfway there

my body proportions have gotten better since I made this I promise lol

Just finished my first latch hook kit of this cute little mushroom. Can’t wait to do more 😄

Sorry if this has been posted before. I bought my first latch hook kit from hobby craft and whilst I’ve been working on it 2 of the colour bundles have fallen out of the plastic wrapping. I wrapped an elastic band around them but it’s created a kink. How can I keep the yarn together (other than an elastic band) and is there a better way to store the yarn than in my knitting bag? Tia.

Completed this project as a gift for my partner! Very happy with the final result 🐉🐲🩵

Hi, all. So I just made a huge 6 ft diameter rug and now I want to give it a nonstick backing. I had some bottles of Mold Builder latex around and although it is very non-slip, it took 2 jars to cover just a 6 -inch wide ring around the edge of the rug.

At $20 a jar, the backing will cost more than the wool!

Has anybody out there tried other stuff for finishing the rug back? My cheapskate self is saying that I could get plain old latex caulk at $4 a tube, and maybe dissolve it in water to make it a little thinner. Thoughts?

I have seen it in here a million times,how to premake something to cut Help me yarn for latchhooking.Help me out
