| Hugging Bear Border Floorcloth awaiting leather rug fringe |
If you will remember a couple weeks ago, I showed you some sketches in my journal of a new floorcloth design that got it's start from a standard design shown on my website. When I left you, the decision of what color rug fringe was left to the customer and we were all on the edge of our seats waiting...well, I would love to believe that...LOL...
After learning that there is NO black in the room although some black furniture exists in the adjoining bedroom, I suggested that we go with brown instead. There are lovely brown picture frames in sight of the future rug position and they need to be tied to something else in the room...so we switched out the black for brown and added turquoise to pick up that color from the shower curtain.
We are going with brown leather rug fringe with the rough side out for a soft look.

| Brown leather before it's cut into fringe |
Tomorrow I will begin cutting the leather into fringe. What do you think about using the rough side out? I haven't done this before but it looked like the obvious thing to do this time...and how do you cut YOUR fringe? Scissors, utility knife or rotary cutter? I have used all three.

To cut fringe I use those springy scissors. Very sharp and they spring open on every cut, so don't tire your hands. Available at Quilt shops. They work great for SHORT fringe on a rag quilt. Think I would use very sharp scissors on longer fringe, and pray a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan...I'll have to try those out. My hands do get really tired. Thanks for stopping by.
